Hear my story, and let’s talk about what no one else talks about regarding the incredible journeys of labor and postpartum.

Every woman has a different pregnancy journey and experiences it in a different way. Now that I’m a little over 1 year postpartum, I look back at how my pregnancy went, and think about the things no one warned me/told me about. Let’s talk about the aspects of pregnancy no one wants to talk about as I share my personal pregnancy journey.

It’s interesting how the way you grow up can have a deep impact on your adult life. For my case, I can definitely say that I grew up facing some particularity polarizing obstacles, where I felt like I didn’t fit in anywhere because of who I was, and things I couldn’t control. Let’s talk about what it feels to grow up feeling like you don’t belong, simply because you were just being yourself.

We all live our lives with various beliefs, views and perspectives. Especially when it comes to personal decisions we make for how we’d like to live our specific life experiences (such as sex, marriage, drinking, etc) But of course, society has deemed certain perspectives and life choices as “old-fashioned” or “traditional”…and sometimes picks apart those who choose this so-called “traditional” route. If you find yourself being what society calls “old-fashioned”, let’s chat about it.

Life is full of ups and downs. But sometimes, we get caught up in desiring what’s up ahead…so much so that we miss what’s right in front of us. Let’s talk about taking that pause to appreciate the now, while we wait for what’s to come.

Let’s talk about it, and start the conversation of what it truly means to choose better overall health.

Millennials. It seems as though we are a special generation. We’ve lived through the crazy 90s, Y2K, social media coming about and things are still changing. But it’s interesting how our age group specifically has had to deal with big life decisions, finances, and trying to navigate adulthood. Let’s chat about what a lot of millennials have been facing, and how we can attempt to overcome “The Millennial Curse”.

In this episode, we dive deep into what a lot of us may be thinking about social media, and how it’s played a crucial role in society. We talk about how it’s shaped our society in ways we may not be aware of, and how it may truly be impacting us. Is social media all it’s cracked up to be?
