Ep239: The Energies You Need to Bring in...

Dr. Nicole C. Rankins
About this episode

It's 2024 and although I don't do new year's resolutions per se, I do like to take some time to think about what I can do to set myself up for a good year ahead. In this episode, I want to share some of the energies that we can bring into this 2024 to help set ourselves up for great experiences in pregnancy, birth, and life in general.

Now I’m going to go through a few intentions but do NOT feel like you have to implement all of them. Start with picking a couple and bookmark this episode for later. Becoming our best selves is always a work in progress and this episode will be here whenever you need it.


In this Episode, You’ll Learn About:

  • How to open yourself up to the possibility of an easy pregnancy
  • Why it’s ok to keep things simple
  • How to be intentional about where you spend your time and energy
  • What it means to be confident
  • How to embody your truest self
  • How you can take power over your birth
  • What the reality is about stress and peace
  • How joy is different than pleasure
  • Why I love being able to serve YOU!
