Ep 195: Mindset, Motherhood and Embracing Change feat. Mimi Bouchard

Mimi? I think you meant mommy! Shannon is back with Mimi Bouchard to cover all things TTC, pregnancy, and the ever-changing journey of motherhood. Mimi talks about her difficult first trimester, including her experience with depression-like lows and intense nausea. The pair chat about the brutal two-week wait, anxiety about miscarrying, and the information overload from being chronically online. Mimi shares her best tips and tricks for maintaining positivity, including new tracks on Activations that focus on IVF, loss, nausea, body changes, epidurals, unmedicated births, changing plans, cravings, and so much more.
