| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, welcome back to the Maraculous Momma's podcast. I'm your host Elizabeth Joy. |
| 0:10.2 | I am a certified birth doula and prenatal coach. And we believe in empowering women through |
| 0:15.1 | storytelling and education. And today we're going to have a little birth story, pregnancy |
| 0:20.7 | story, new mom life story from Leslie Murphy. We have such a great time chatting. She's so |
| 0:27.6 | much fun. I feel like she's definitely a kindred spirit. She's traveled all over the world and |
| 0:31.8 | just has a passion for adventure and culture. And she's just so much fun. She recently just had |
| 0:38.9 | her babies. So everything that she experienced from finding out she was pregnant to birthing and |
| 0:45.7 | up until now has been, you know, in the weird times of the pandemic. And so everyone's stories are |
| 0:51.9 | kind of different these days. It's hard. I think finding a new norm in parenting is weird anyways. |
| 0:59.1 | But on top of that, like navigating what's going on in the world and having to set up different |
| 1:06.4 | boundaries with family or just figuring out what's right for you. And in her case, our husbands |
| 1:12.3 | from Australia, so they can't even see his family. They can't fly their visit. His family can't fly |
| 1:17.5 | here and visit. And they don't know when their baby is going to be able to meet their dad's |
| 1:24.0 | side of the family. So so many crazy things going on. But we have such a great conversation. |
| 1:30.4 | She's so much fun to chat with. If you guys missed last week's episode, make sure that you hop |
| 1:35.5 | on and listen. We had an interview with the cult survivor, Melissa. And she does us such a heart |
| 1:42.6 | for women. She, with everything that she's been through and now just wanting to help women |
| 1:49.6 | step out of fear and into who they're created to be and be confident and live in their passions |
| 1:58.0 | and find out who they are. Because sometimes your identity is kind of chosen for you. And she's just |
| 2:04.3 | so awesome. Her story's incredible. And she's very, very inspiring. And then next week, you're |
| 2:10.8 | definitely going to want to tune in because I have the minimalist mom on. And if you guys know me, |
| 2:15.9 | I am not a minimalist. In my mind, I strive to be one. But in real life, I'm very far from it. |
