Summary

Podcaster, health coach, and Jordan’s pregnancy twin, Chelsey Jade Curtis, comes on the show for a girly get-together to chat about plant-based pregnancy, professional growth in the not-always-so-friendly public sphere, and recovery from disordered eating.

There are so many juicy nuggets for everyone to feel inspired by, from Chelsea’s journey to becoming a podcaster, dealing with public criticism, and how she integrated her shadow, to her painful struggle with disordered eating, path to healing, and how IIN health coach training galvanized her passion for nutrition, science, and psychology.

Of course, there are LOTS of pregnancy parallels to dive into. Chelsey opens up about letting go of perfectionism to trust her body – even when it’s calling for IHOP pancakes and her intentions were to only eat clean. She and Jordan also bond over their plant-based pregnancy experiences, and dealing with “mommy police” opinions on diet, restrictions, and animal protein myths. Plus: imagining how this Christmas will look very different for both of them with a boy baby Sag or Capricorn in the mix (due dates are a week apart from each other)!

0:16.5	I'm your host, Jordan Younger.
0:18.4	And today we have a very fun guest as promised, Chelsea Jade Curtis.
0:23.8	You probably know her from her wildly successful podcast, the What We Said podcast that she co-hosts
0:29.9	with her friend, JC Marie Smith, who has also been on this podcast earlier this year.
0:35.8	Was that earlier this year?
0:37.1	Was that last year already?
0:38.8	Oh my gosh, I just checked and that was last year.
0:42.0	JC was on episode 202 on September 23rd, 2020, which is crazy because the day that I'm

0:59.0	just how crazy that that episode with JC came out a year ago.
1:03.2	And since then, I've listened a lot to JC and Chelsea's podcast, the What We Said podcast.
1:08.4	And when Chelsea announced her pregnancy earlier this summer, I got so excited because
1:13.1	I realized that we are due about a week apart.
1:17.8	And I would have been excited for her regardless.
1:20.4	But it's so fun to meet like-minded people who are on this journey, who are becoming moms

1:34.8	be born early, who the heck knows.
1:38.0	But I also feel so tied and so similar to Chelsea in so many ways because we also have many
