022. BIG NEWS: I’m Pregnant! 7 Things I’ve Learned & Realized, Part 1

Well, the time has come to announce it here on the podcast you missed it on social media. I'm pregnant! We're expecting a baby girl next February. I'll be very honest, I was hesitant to share because of the nature of this community. Not because we’re not excited, not because we don’t WANT to share, but I know so many in this community are, struggling with fertility, have lost a baby before it reached full term, have lost a child, or lots of circumstances in between.

Going through this without my parents will take this new phase of life to another level. I know this because it already has, and I can only imagine how it’ll be when baby girl gets here. This very thought inspired this brand new episode on the Losses Become Gains Podcast today.

 

I want to share some thoughts on how to move through a major life change like this without the people we’ve lost, but also providing encouragement along the way. Because we all need that no matter what life gives us, right?! Your gain from this episode (an episode that I had to split into two parts, because a lot came up for me!) is to learn seven ways I’ve changed, ways my mindset has shifted, and things I’ve realized since finding out I’m pregnant and embarking on this new phase of life.

 

I promise, it's not simply an “I'm pregnant, look at me!” kind of episode. It's vulnerable, very raw and from the heart, I admit and talk about some things that are difficult to say out loud, and I have no doubt you can relate and empathize with a lot of it—whether or not you are trying for or have a child. This episode focuses on so much more than just this pregnancy, there are a lot of grief-related takeaways to be had here. I put a lot of thought and love into this one, and I'm so excited to share it with you.
