 Episode #55: What you need to rock your fourth trimester | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 00:33:48

Well, here I am. Coming to you straight from the trenches of the fourth trimester itself. I had the pleasure of talking to the ladies behind Matrescence: 4th Trimester Planning and Support *months* ago...back then I was a bright eyed and bushy tailed with only one little person to take care of. At least just one on the outside. I was so excited to employ the strategies I learned from this episode when baby #2 came. So when she decided to arrive three weeks earlier than expected I had no choice but it kick it into high gear. As you may have noticed from my two month absence from your earbuds, I took a long slow pause to get used to life with two kids - exactly what our family needed during this fourth trimester. Will I ever REALLY get used to it? Who knows... but we're falling into a new rhythm and in this episode we share the tips and tools I've been using for the last 7 weeks.

Are you a 'spiritual misfit' too? In today's chat with Melissa Romero, we talk about how the transition into parenthood drastically changed our need for spirituality in our lives.
