185. Pregnancy, Panic & Progress: A Raw Talk on Stress, Self-Love & Starting Over

Ever felt like your usual stress tools just aren’t cutting it? 

There were moments during my pregnancy where the stress felt like a mountain I didn’t know how to climb. The same stress tools I had taught for years suddenly felt small against the weight of hormonal shifts, emotional overwhelm, and major life changes.

I’m sharing what I haven't said out loud until now—the second trimester breakdowns, the panic attacks, the road trip that cracked me open, and the strain it put on my closest relationships.

Here’s the thing: mountains don’t just challenge us—they shape us and this season reshaped me.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

- How I coped (and often didn’t) with anxiety and stress during pregnancy
 - The pivotal road trip that forced me to face what I’d been ignoring
 - What therapy taught me about hormones, control, and asking for help
 - Starting over in a new city while rebuilding my routines from scratch
 - Learning to love myself again—not the polished version, but the real one

This episode isn’t about perfection. It’s about finding footing when the climb gets steep—and choosing grace over guilt.

 If you’re in a season where your soul feels heavy and the climb feels long—this one's for you.
