Tackling Tough Decisions in Pregnancy with Natalie Bacon

Author: Liesel Teen November 27, 2023 Duration: 46:55

I am so excited for this week's episode because I have a longtime friend coming on to the podcast to talk about her birth experiences, as well as share her expertise on how to approach tough decisions in pregnancy (and life!).

Natalie Bacon is a certified mindfulness life coach, and helps moms do inner work to overcome daily challenges and live a more purpose driven life.

Natalie was on the podcast about 2 years ago to talk about mindset tips for pregnancy and birth. It's actually one of the most popular episodes on The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast - definitely check it out if you haven't done so already!
