Pregnancy, the fourth trimester, conscious habits and moving countries in the pandemic with Habit Coach Heanney Banks

The Awakened Pregnancy Podcast

Heanney is a women's wellness and habit coach living on the Gold Coast, Australia. She is also a loved-up wife and dedicated mama. Heanney is passionate about sharing the power of weaving conscious habits and rituals into our every day, and her tried-and-tested method has empowered women to create a life they truly love.
Through one-on-one coaching, group coaching programs and her podcast Conscious Collective, Heanney guides women all over the world on how to release guilt and fear, transform our relationship with ourselves and overcome the limiting beliefs that hold us back from feeling worthy of creating and living our very best life, every day.
In this episode Heanney shares her biggest struggles of adult life and the beautiful gifts that have come of them. We talk about everything from eating disorders to moving across the world in a pandemic. Heaney is open, intuitive and generous is what she shares, and as a dear friend of mine (and fellow human design manifestor) I am so grateful that she has shared her story with us, so that you too can see the magic of her journey and appreciate her wisdom.
