It can seem like we're saying go into information overload, but that's actually not true education can be really empowering because, you know, yes, you'll be learning a lot in the months leading up, but it leaves you feeling so much more empowered to make those decisions versus feeling very fearful and scared and powerless and unsure.

You're listening to the Mommy Laburner's podcast where you'll gain the knowledge and confidence you need to erase the unknowns of pregnancy and birth and rock the newborn days like a boss.

My name is Liesel teen. I'm a fellow mom, labor and delivers nurse and your host. Each week on this podcast, you'll hear a mix of birth stories, expert interviews and other fun, pregnancy and birth related content.

As a reminder, anything you hear in this podcast is not medical advice. Please see MommyLaburners.com slash disclaimer for more details. And now let's get into this week's episode.

Hey guys, happy Monday. So this week on the MLN podcast, we're going to be talking all about mindset. You guys should know by now that I'm all about getting you in the right headspace when it comes to birth.

Your mind is not only your most powerful tool during birth, but it can also be your worst enemy. It takes a lot of self control and practice to be able to talk back to your brain during birth.

And that's exactly what we're going to be talking about today with my special guest Natalie Bacon. If you've been out in the blogging world at all in the past five years, you know who Natalie Bacon is.

Personally, I've been following her story ever since I started blogging and I'm a total fan girl of her work. Natalie Bacon is a life coach who helps women and now more specifically moms re-ignite their lives.

Her coaching philosophy is based on looking into the mindset of what her clients are thinking, bringing awareness to subconscious thoughts, and then helping her clients decide deliberately what stays and what goes.

She's actually pregnant herself. She's due this winter and I thought it would be so great to have her on the podcast to talk all about mindset shifts, but let's make it birth related.

In this episode, we talk all about educating yourself, being open to change, pain coping techniques, listening to what your body is telling you and so much more. Let's dive right in.

Hi Natalie, welcome to the Mommy Liburner's podcast. Thanks so much for being here today. Hey, thank you so much for having me. Yeah, I'm super excited to talk to you today. So can you just start by telling our listeners a little bit about yourself.

Who you are, what you do for a living, where you're from, like what you ate for breakfast, whatever.

All the good stuff, right?

All the good stuff.

Yes.

Yeah, so I am a certified life coach for moms and I do a lot of coaching around mindset.

I wasn't always a life coach. I was an attorney for a little while and then a financial planner and then probably similar to you sort of started an online business and transition many times applied mindset work to my own life.

And that has led me to where I am today, which is married, expecting and having this community of moms, who I get to help really overcome a lot of the mindset drama in their own lives in any area, including when they are expecting as well.
