In today’s episode Chelsea shares how returning from her time down the shore has her slightly out of sorts and in a pickle with an event at her daughter’s school.

Amidst the internal conflict, she shares her appreciation for getting clear on her vision for motherhood but more importantly, staying connected to the vision and the shifts that have come throughout her journey.

In today's episode, Chelsea reflects on the differences she’s noticing between this pregnancy and her first. From finding frequent urination as a positive for potty training her daughter, to noticing what she believes to be sensations of first-time baby flutters, and how she has to intentionally carve out small moments to connect with this pregnancy and baby, it’s all the “same” yet totally different.
