Whether you're a first time mom feeling overwhelmed or a seasoned mom gearing up for another round, this episode is a peek into exactly how I'm preparing for my second natural birth with baby #3.

From physical to mental, spiritual to postpartum prep, I'm walking you through everything I'm doing this time around!!

A heads up before you press play: this is not a checklist. You don't have to do every single thing I'm doing. But if even one piece of this episode lights a fire under you to actually prepare, you're going to have a so much better experience than going in blind.

In this episode I cover:

• What's the same and what's different about this birth
• How I'm physically preparing
• The blood sugar deep dive
• My supplement and probiotic of choice
• How I'm mentally preparing for another natural birth
• My exact labor practice routine
• How I'm preparing for postpartum
• How I'm spiritually preparing

How we talk about food, model it and the environment we create around it all impacts our children's relationship with food!

In this episode, we cover:

• What a healthy relationship with food really looks like
• How to approach snacks and whether they help or hurt appetite
• How to build balanced, filling meals that actually hold kids over
• The truth about using food to soothe (and what to do instead)
• How our own relationship with food impacts our kids
• Thoughts on dessert, sugar, and raising kids without obsession around sweets
• What to do when your child fixates on “fun foods” at parties or playdates
• A realistic approach to picky eating
• How to avoid labeling foods as “good” or “bad”
• Creating a mealtime environment that feels calm, not stressful
