55: Week 10 Update - The Bland Food Era + Big Dreams Brewing
In this Week 10 pregnancy update, I’m sharing the very real shift into the “eat only bland foods and sleep every chance you get” phase.
We talk about:
- Why I’m choosing walking over resistance training right now
- Navigating nausea, food aversions, and the comfort of beige meals
- The wild fatigue that hits in the evenings
- And, despite all that, why I felt called to submit a speaking application this week
It’s part personal update, part gentle permission slip for anyone navigating the messy, beautiful recalibration of early pregnancy.
If you’re in this season too, this episode reminds you: your body sets the pace, and your purpose doesn’t disappear - sometimes it just takes a softer form for a little while.
