I’M PREGNANT! Opening Up About My Journey, Part 1 of 2
Manage episode 407356392 series 3559694
Disclaimer: This episode could be hard for some listeners to hear, especially if you’ve been struggling with conceiving. I’ll share that we are pregnant, and we have been blessed to have NOT had any miscarriages.
I’ve been looking forward to recording this episode of the Prosperous Empath® for months now. I’m so excited to share that I’m pregnant! Yet, my journey to conception has been long and full of challenges. In this episode, I’m going to get vulnerable about my experience because there is so much information I wish I had known before my husband Parth and I started trying to have a baby. I mistakenly thought we’d get pregnant immediately, but it took us almost a year to conceive. Over that year, I learned the importance of managing unfulfilled expectations, self-advocating for my wants and needs, breaking down in order to break through, and many other things that I simply wasn’t ready for at the beginning of my conception journey. When you want something so deeply, it’s really hard to surrender - yet that’s just what I had to do. Whether you’re thinking about pregnancy or already trying to conceive, I hope that this episode helps you feel more supported as you navigate your own journey.
Topics:
- Going into the conception process thinking that I’m going to get pregnant immediately and working through the heartbreak of unfulfilled expectations
- The importance of self-advocating for yourself, working with empathic medical professionals, and leaning on the practitioners you trust
- How the personal development work I’ve been doing over the last decade has helped me during my conception journey
