Alana’s story- bringing Elias and Essa Franki Sunshine into the world.

Alana’s story- bringing Elias and Essa Franki Sunshine into the world.  If you aren’t already following Alana @momsto and her amazing podcast @momsthatsay on IG- Well, you should be.  I met Alana on my first mat leave at one of her incredible events designed to show Moms a good time. She is the CEO  Momsto and she is most certainly revolutionizing maternity leave.  As someone who moved here knowing no one. I found the motherhood journey rather lonely. She really turned it around for me. I met and made a lot of new friends at her events and most of all reconnected with myself doing the sorts of things I loved to do pre-kids like eating at nice/ quirky restaurants.  Both our kids were born just days and weeks apart so I’ve really been watching Alana’s motherhood journey unfold alongside my own.  She is a force to be reckoned with. I’m sure we will look back in years to come and she will have taken over the world or be in the Forbes magazine. She is certainly using her “mat leave” (if you can call it that as I’m pretty sure she doesn’t sit still for a second) to kick start her passion project which is growing by the day.  Even as we recorded she doubled up by having her hair cut (kinda ironic while talking to me- a hair stylist) there is never a second where this women in not on the go.  I loved hearing Alana’s story, she had two home births and is a real advocate for pushing for what you want from your birth, even when your own family isn’t sure about your choices.
