This week, we invite you to be gentle with yourselves as you join Rebekah and me for an open-hearted conversation on perinatal grief, loss, and trauma. Together, we explore the importance of normalizing asking for help, claiming your space, advocating for your needs, and embracing the resources available to you.

It’s a powerful reminder that you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Welcome back to the Perinatal Podcast Find Rebekah!

I had the privilege and honor to be a featured speaker at the 2024 Purdue Women's Conference through the Purdue For Life Foundation, and as nervous as I was heading into it, I had an absolute blast!

A room of 58 spectacular humans heard my thoughts, and shared their own, on giving ourselves grace, defining our values and putting our energy and choices toward those values, ideas for distraction and focus, and you know I can't resist a FRIENDS reference - working to be okay with a PIVOT.

Please enjoy the recording of this empowering discussion where I got to share my passions at one of my favorite places on earth!

Boiler Up, and welcome back to The Perinatal Podcast! 🖤🚂💛
