In this deeply nourishing episode, Maria sits down with her dear friend Natalie to explore her spiritual and health-conscious approach to pregnancy. From the moment she found out she was expecting, Natalie approached the journey with intention, intuition, and reverence. She opens up about the rituals that grounded her—from daily movement, meditation, grounding, and connecting with nature to reading to her baby in the womb—and how her practices helped her stay connected, centered, and open.

She talks about the emotional and energetic shifts that pregnancy can bring, how Natalie moved through fear, relationship ups and downs, and ancestral healing, and what it meant for her to mother herself while preparing to mother her child. Her wisdom around tuning into the body, honoring sacred rest, and trusting inner guidance offers inspiration for anyone walking a conscious path to parenthood.

This episode is a reminder that pregnancy isn’t just a physical transformation—it’s a spiritual rite of passage. Whether you're on your own fertility journey, pregnant, or simply curious about embodied motherhood, Natalie’s story will leave you feeling more grounded, supported, and connected.
