Hi, welcome to the Live Beautifully podcast. I'm your host, Katrina Scott.

Thank you so much for tuning in and thank you for being part of this podcast with me.

I really, really appreciate it and all of your messages and even tags listening makes my day,

my week, my month. It just really means a lot because a lot goes into this podcast and I'm so

excited that it's back and I'm really, really excited that you're here. I am sitting here while

Colette Naps in Bellason School. The house is calm for a moment and I can record this. Motherhood

is the theme of this episode. It's so rewarding but also so challenging. When we finally have a moment

to ourselves, we can either clean, shower, lay down, catch up on text, scroll Instagram,

call a friend, call her mom, listen to a podcast like this or work on something on our to-do list.

But we can only do one of these things at a time. Sometimes I do listen to podcasts about

folding laundry, which I do have to say kind of puts you in a meditative state and you can really

just listen. But regardless, wherever you are tuning into this, I know that you're carving out time

to spend with me so I really appreciate it and I just feel like, you know, we can be so grateful

for being a mom but at the same time recognize that it is the hardest job and you have to be

100% selfless. And I recognize that and I see that in you and I just want to let you know that you're

doing a good job, mama. If you're tuning in as a mom, I see you. If you want to get pregnant or

you're growing your family, I feel you. If you're curious and want to listen to this episode to

support your mom friends, I thank you. Today we're sitting down with the amazing Tori Simeon. You may know

her from Dancing on the Half-Core of Clippers Games, working out on TIEU, her post on Instagram

sharing her adorable family posts and motherhood tips or opening up on TikTok about her post-partum

journey. She's incredible and this conversation is so good you guys. It's raw, honest,

open and so relatable, especially when it comes to how pregnancy can affect our relationship
