Pregnancy has a way of teaching you things no textbook ever could.

In this casual catch-up episode, I sit down with my friend Grace Parce for an honest conversation about pregnancy, body changes, shifting expectations, and everything we're learning along the way. We share personal updates, reflect on the realities of growing a baby, and talk about the physical, emotional, and mental changes that come with this season of life.

From body image and fitness to energy levels, symptoms, mindset shifts, and the lessons pregnancy has a way of bringing to the surface, this episode feels less like an interview and more like a conversation between friends.

Whether you're currently pregnant, planning for pregnancy, or simply curious about the experience, we hope this episode leaves you feeling informed, supported, and a little less alone.

Topics discussed:
• Pregnancy updates and milestones
• Physical changes and body image
• Fitness and movement during pregnancy
• Expectations vs reality
• Mental and emotional shifts
• Lessons we're learning along the way
• Navigating pregnancy in the real world

Grab a coffee, settle in, and join us for an honest conversation about the journey so far.
