34. Navigating Big Life Changes

This week I take you through a 3rd trimester recap at 39 weeks pregnant before heading off for maternity leave. I share the ways in which pregnancy has shifted, changed, and grounded me more than ever before and allowed me to enter a deep period of rest and hibernation. Plus, why I decided to put a complete pause on creating the Repose Homestead brand. I'll still be posting updates over on the newsletter community and hope to be back on the podcast come September!
