This week's episode is shared with Mikayla Taylor @bymikaylataylor, who shares her vulnerable experience living with chronic illness as well as shares news of her "mommy to be" to a beautiful baby girl. While the pregnancy journey is often normalized to be an easy, happy, and healthy experience, this is not the case for a lot of women. Mikayla shares her experience with Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), enduring the impacts of her chronic illness, maintaining her overall wellness, and being her best advocate while receiving treatment. Too often, the lived experiences of women get shamed or judged if they do not fit the status quo, but it is the priority to shift our conversations and spaces to allow for women to be themselves.
