In this episode, Nikki and Alyssa finally get to catch up! They talk about how Nikki has navigated becoming a new mom, she shares a lot about her labor experience, and even opens up about her postpartum journey so far. Much of this conversation is about change, growth, transition, and how life is often both/and rather than either/or. Nikki and Alyssa talk about this phenomenon and how humans have a magical ability to fully feel both one thing and also have the capacity to feel an entirely different thing simultaneously.
