Trigger Warning for expecting mamas: Today's episode contains my not so fun birth experience with my first. And by "not so fun," I mean terrifying, traumatic and awful. BUT I am not sharing this to just be a Debbie downer. Instead, it's being shared in the hopes of inspiring others to advocate for themselves. It is my hope you will walk away with more knowledge & inspiration for self-advocacy and support. Birth trauma is more common then most realize so here is my story.

- Live authentically and be true to yourself, even if it means facing challenges and criticism.
- Make the most of every day and appreciate the present moment. Time is fleeting, and life can change in an instant.
- Balancing work and family can be challenging, but it's important to prioritize what truly matters.
- Doing less can lead to doing more. Focus on quality over quantity and pour your energy into what truly matters.
- Transitioning to new platforms, such as YouTube, can open up new opportunities for growth and connection.
- Set goals that align with your values and desires, and don't be afraid to adjust them as needed.
