Trauma, Success, and Postpartum with Vyana Novus-Magee

How do we find pleasure and success as we move through challenges in both becoming parents and life in general?

This question is something that today’s guest, Vyana Novus-Magee, has spent time working on for herself and, now she helps others do the same through her Redefining Success Journal.

On today’s episode, Vyana walks us through her experience with trauma, her journey through  postpartum, and how all of her experiences, from her own birth to the birth of her child, have redefined her definition of success.
