089. Host Jamie Massey sits down with spiritual author Alice Grist to explore the incredible story of her spontaneous pregnancy at 44. After assuming she had entered perimenopause, Alice shares the surreal moment she realized her exhaustion and "flu symptoms" were actually a positive pregnancy test. She opens up about the spiritual signs she received along the way—including a family prediction that had promised a son long before he was conceived—and how she navigated the transition from being a mother of older children to starting over with a newborn.
The conversation dives deep into the realities of a later-in-life pregnancy, from managing intense morning sickness to handling the "red flags" and opinions that often come with age. Alice provides a refreshing perspective on birth as a moment of total surrender, explaining why she chose an empowering C-section to prioritize her family's well-being. This episode is a beautiful masterclass in intuition and self-discovery, offering a soulful reminder that motherhood can be a powerful gateway to finding your truest self, no matter when it happens.
