A pregnant pause for an update
In this solo episode, I'm diving into my pregnancy journey along with news for the podcast. We're now in our third season, and for this season I'm enjoying spotlighting conversations with parents who are also creatives.
At 34 weeks pregnant, I'm reflecting on how this experience differs from my previous pregnancies. I've been dealing with more morning sickness this time around, which has been challenging but also eye-opening. It's forced me to reevaluate my priorities and listen to my body more.
I share my approach to staying active during pregnancy, focusing on weight training and simple stability exercises while balancing rest. I'm all about being "inconsistently consistent" - making an effort over time, even if individual days aren't perfect. This has made a huge difference in how I feel physically and mentally.
I also touch on my ongoing poetry project inspired by my great-grandmother's 1933 parenting handbook. It's been a fascinating and deeply personal journey exploring the intersection of creativity and parenthood, and I can't wait to share more with you all soon!
