| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, welcome back to the Miraculous Mama's podcast. I'm your host, Elizabeth |
| 0:10.0 | Joy. I am a certified birthed doula and a prenatal coach. And I'm so glad that you |
| 0:15.3 | are here. We believe in empowering women through storytelling and education. If you didn't |
| 0:19.9 | listen to last week's episode, we had on Meg Boggs. And it was so exciting to talk to her |
| 0:24.8 | again. She was one of the first guests when I started Miraculous Mama's a couple years |
| 0:28.3 | ago. And it's been so cool to see her transformation, just kind of really stepping into who she is. |
| 0:35.3 | And just the influence that she's had now standing in her truth and just being authentic |

| 1:43.2 | and just changing. It seems like daily. And so just really trying to be present with |
| 1:49.1 | her and soak in the moments. But then also try to be a productive member of society. And |
| 1:54.6 | it's like, how do you do both? So there are times where I'm like, you know what? I'm just |
| 2:00.6 | not going to get much done today because I'm just going to play with my daughter and |
| 2:06.6 | enjoy being her mom. And then other days, you know, I'm like, okay, I need to actually |
