Please share your thoughts about how you felt about the episode and/or podcast!

In this episode, I open my heart and share my twin pregnancy journey—after experiencing loss, trauma, and uncertainty. From the emotional weight of previous pregnancies to the physical and mental challenges of hyperemesis gravidarum and daily injections, this season of my life tested me in every way. 

I take you behind the scenes of my mental health journey, the fears I carried, and the holistic healing practices that supported me through it all—helping me reconnect with my body and my strength.

I also share how I went from questioning myself and my birth choices… to making a grounded, confident decision in how I chose to bring my babies into the world.

As I celebrate my twins turning three this week, this episode is a reflection of resilience, healing, trust, and faith.
