Episode Details

What really changes during the first trimester of pregnancy, especially when you’re also running a business?

Not just the physical side of things, but the emotional, spiritual, and identity shifts that have already started happening. Because the truth is, becoming a mother doesn’t just flip on the day a baby arrives. For me, the transformation started the moment I got pregnant.

If you’re someone who is pregnant, thinking about becoming a mother one day, or just curious about what women in your life might be going through during this chapter, I hope this conversation helps you feel a little more connected to the process.

And yes… I also share the baby’s gender at the end of the episode!
