Back to EpisodesA Very Honest Chat About Starting Again
Description
This episode is a vulnerable one.
Rachel is opening up about stepping into pregnancy for the third time — and all of the emotions that come with it. Because sometimes exciting news doesn’t just feel exciting… it can feel overwhelming, unexpected, and hard to process all at once.
In this conversation, we’re getting honest about what it really looks like to navigate the early stages of pregnancy — the shock, the first trimester struggles, and the reality of not always feeling like your best self. Rachel shares what’s different this time around, how she’s approaching things in a new way, and what she’s learning as she goes.
We also talk about the power of connection — being pregnant alongside a friend (your “cycle sister,” but next level), and how opening up to other women can make you feel so much less alone in the experience.
This episode is part story, part “pregnancy word vomit,” and part reminder that it’s okay to have mixed emotions — even about something beautiful.
If you’ve ever:
- Felt caught off guard by big life news
- Struggled through the first trimester
- Not felt like yourself in a season that’s supposed to be “happy”
- Needed to hear someone say “you’re not alone”
This one is for you 💛
