Lauren came on the pod to share her experience going from a corporate mom to "work from home mom." Not only is she a "work from home" mom, her job is to help new mom's.
She understands the importance of a positive birthing experience for the mom, the baby & everyone else in mom's orbit.
You may have guessed that she didn't have the most positive birthing experience when she started out as a mom. This led her to look for answers for the positive birth she hoped &dreamed of. Now she helps...
Lauren came on the pod to share her experience going from a corporate mom to "work from home mom." Not only is she a "work from home" mom, her job is to help new mom's.

You may have guessed that she didn't have the most positive birthing experience when she started out as a mom. This led her to look for answers for the positive birth she hoped &dreamed of. Now she helps women do the same.
We had a very honest conversation about all the ups & downs of becoming a mom. The intensity of pregnancy, birth and post partum. The things people don't like to talk about b/c they are scared they will look like they can't "do it all."
People are told 2 have babies but don't LOOK like you had a baby. People make comments about a pregnant body even though this may be the most vulnerable time for that pregnant mom and her body.
We wanted to shed light on these topics. I think Lauren is providing an amazing service. I think many people may shy away from this - thinking maybe its a luxury or it makes them week to ask for help. I strongly believe looking at a whole person when caring for them and things that will help them in the future are needs and not luxuries. Asking for help makes you strong and self aware, NOT WEAK.
Enjoy the episode! I can't wait to hear your feedback!
