Summary

Hey girl, welcome back! We’re so glad you’re here for today’s episode all about stepping into the beautiful and sometimes awkward journey of motherhood. Whether you’re a new mama, dreaming about it someday, or just figuring it all out—we’ve got you. We’re talking about those early feelings of discomfort and breaking the mold of the stereotypical “mom identity.” We’re getting super honest about those early feelings of hesitation and how our idea of motherhood evolves over time. We’ll also dive into what it means to parent with intention—how our words, actions, and even our tone shape the little hearts watching us. Through laughter and real talk, we unpack how parenting is actually refining us too. And we wrap things up with some practical ways to stay spiritually grounded, present, and full of grace as we navigate this wild, beautiful calling.

0:05.9	That Sounds Fun Network. I fully embrace the 8020 lifestyle. It's an imperfect balance of function
0:12.0	and fun. It can be really tough trying to find an approach to health and wellness without compromising.
0:17.7	So between my studies as a psychology student and coaching hundreds of classes as a
