Quotes:
“I think it is important when trying to conceive or going through any health journey that when you feel like you have no control, you need to focus on the things you have control over.”
“The 3 Pillars of Transformation are advocacy, preparation, and community.”
“As women, we often feel the need to give and give. But we need to recognize when we are able to give to ourselves. Sometimes doing things for yourself is a gift.”
“You know your body best. Sometimes we give the medical world too much credit and not enough to ourselves for everything we know and feel our body is going through.”
“Advocacy can come in many different shapes and forms. Advocating for yourself is essential throughout any transformation or period in your life.”
“Whether it is a birthing plan or just a life plan, chances are it won’t go as you expect it to.”
