042: Pregnancy Q&A with Ellie (recorded live in our Inner Circle Membership!)

If you've experienced the journey of pregnancy or have been curious about it, you've probably already noticed how fraught it can be. There are so many opinions, voices, and expectations out there about what to do, what not to do, what to eat, and how it all "should" be.    What if there's a way to step outside all those clamoring cultural voices and just tune inward?    As you know, our very own Ellie just had her baby on May 23rd!    In this unique Q&A (while she was still pregnant), Ellie offers her firsthand experience of cultivating a pregnancy journey that has been honest, nourished, sensual, and deeply connected to her body's innate wisdom. She shares how she plans to spend those essential first 40 days with her new baby boy, how she's stayed healthy, her surprising cravings, why she's planning for a home birth, and so much more.     In this episode, you'll learn about: Holding sacred boundaries when it comes to talking about your pregnancy and birth choices Doulas and midwives: what's the difference?
