In this episode, we're wrapping up the motherhood series with a very special guest - Becca Marco! Many of you may know that Becca started the She Reaches podcast with me so it was such a joy to have her back on to catch us up on what's she been up to.
She shares the real deal on how it felt to be newly pregnant and moving to a new city, how she finally felt at peace, and her thoughts on being a working mom. Becca also closes the loop on the long journey to have a baby now that she finally has her baby.
Highlights:
- What Becca's been up to since last October when the podcast went on hiatus
- How she handled pregnancy and working
- Becca's thoughts on her journey to become pregnant now that she has a baby
- What motherhood has been like so far and what no one told her
- How she's thought through being back at work and how she's set boundaries to make it all work
