About this listen

I’m back—and this time, I’ve got a new baby in my arms and a whole birth story to share. This episode is a deeply personal one. I’m pulling back the curtain on my third maternity leave, giving you an honest look into my home birth with baby Wesley, and talking about what postpartum has looked and felt like this time around.

It’s my first time experiencing birth while also being a podcast host, so I figured it was finally my turn to share what I’ve listened to so many other women do: tell their birth story. Grab your coffee and come hang out with me in this behind-the-scenes, heart-on-my-sleeve solo catch-up.

Three things you’ll take away:

  • What actually helped in postpartum recovery (from freezer meals to childcare)
  • How I mentally prepped for another unmedicated home birth
  • The emotional rollercoaster of newborn feeding issues and finding your spark for work again

Mentioned in this Episode

  • Planning for a Maternity Leave as a Self-Employed Business Owner
  • Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth by Ina May Gaskin
  • Introducing Affiliate Boss: A Step-byStep Marketing Course for Affiliate Income
  • Affiliate Boss
  • The Artist’s Way
