OMG, - welcome to the last episode of season 1. For this one we baked up something together. You asked, I answered. So this entire episode is about "WHAT NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT PREGNANCY" - we'll talk sex, judgement and boundaries.

Ten months, not nine. That single truth reframes the whole journey, from how we plan to how we forgive ourselves when the calendar and our bodies don’t match. I open up about the quiet math of forty weeks, the social noise around women’s bodies, and the unexpected weight of judgment that can come from other women—often other mothers. Not to blame, but to notice. When we hold impossible standards, we tend to pass the pressure along. The antidote is a string of small choices: a pause before reacting, a clear boundary, a kinder script.

We also pull back the curtain on winter pregnancy. Flu season narrows medication choices, congestion stacks with sleepless nights, and “just rest” becomes a puzzle of pillows, humidifiers, and patience. Practical, unglamorous tools suddenly matter: saline rinses, hydration, gentle movement, and sunlight when you can find it. Then the conversation goes deeper into the third trimester, where movement changes shape intimacy. Desire may be present while mechanics say not like that. We talk honestly about adapting: new positions, slower pacing, different settings, and dropping performance goals so pleasure has room to return.

At the core is partnership. The kind that doesn’t make your body a battleground or tie self-worth to your response. I share why communication, playfulness, and ego-free listening matter more than any “tip,” and how choosing a true teammate changes everything when life gets complicated. If you’ve ever felt policed, stuck, or alone in these moments, this story offers language, options, and a nudge toward grace.

The final stretch before birth feels like standing in a calm doorway while a storm gathers far out at sea—quiet, charged, and strangely sweet. I share where my body is at, why I’m unexpectedly in love with this belly, and how a simple ritual of raspberry tea and a protein-rich muffin sets a grounded tone for the day. Your questions guided the flow, turning a solo recording into a warm circle, and that sense of company matters when every kick, cramp, and mood swing starts to speak in a louder voice.

We get into the plan for a home water birth and the cues that make a space feel safe: dim light, familiar scent, warm water. My partner surprised me with a trail of salt candles leading to the bathroom, transforming it into a soft, glowing sanctuary. I talk through the five-week due window, the midwife now on call, and the humility of knowing that timing can change the setting—while the deeper practice remains the same. If the path shifts, I’ll carry the ritual with me: breath, softness, presence.

The heart of this conversation is mindfulness. Years of yoga supported me less through elaborate poses and more through attention, patience, and the space between feeling and reaction. We share takeaways from an MBSR-inspired prenatal course—pausing when triggered, widening awareness during a surge, and meditating together as a couple to build shared steadiness. These simple tools help separate sensation from story, turning hormone storms into weather I can watch and ride. As we wrap the season and tease a part two, you’ll hear a real-time portrait of late pregnancy: tender, practical, occasionally funny, and deeply human.

If this resonated, tap follow, share it with someone who needs gentleness today, and leave a review to help others find the show. Your notes and shares keep this community bright.

New year, real talk. We open 2026 by honoring the hard lessons of 2025 and then doing the brave work of defining who we’re becoming. I guide you through a simple, potent practice: release last year’s version of yourself, sketch the person you’re building now, and write down the actions that actually close the gap. No fluffy resolutions—just identity, clarity, and commitments you can keep.

We get honest about why change feels heavy. Friends, family, and colleagues often carry an old snapshot of us and project it back like it’s the full picture. I share how to spot those projections without absorbing them, how to set kind but firm boundaries, and how to protect a new identity before there’s “proof.” We talk courage, self-trust, and the power of small, repeatable actions. I also open up about pregnancy, entrepreneurship, and choosing an unconventional path with real support in place—because authorship of your life doesn’t require permission, it requires design.

If you’ve been asking bigger questions—Who am I when no one else decides? What would my days look like if I stopped shrinking?—this conversation is your nudge to take the pen back. You’ll leave with a framework for mapping the gap between present you and 2026 you, tools for navigating social pressure, and a renewed sense of wonder at being alive right now.
