About this episode

In this episode I'm answering questions that I've received recently from my clients as well as Instagram community related to pregnancy. It's easy to not ask a question because it feels silly, like you should already know the answer, or perhaps you didn't even think to ask it! I know that at least one of these questions has been on your mind lately. We cover topics like fatigue, protein, feeling out of breath, leaking when you sneeze, and more!
