Nurture Hub Pregnancy and Birth Podcast - With Shari Lyon Nicola Laye & Shari Lyon

In this episode Nicola & I open ourselves up to you all and what we have been up to this year and we have some big and vulnerable news we want to share with you all and where we are now taking the podcast moving forward.

Welcome to Episode 84 of the Nurture Hub Pregnancy & Birth Podcast! In this enlightening episode, host Shari Lyon from Belly2Birth dives deep into the different transitions we face in life, especially during pregnancy and motherhood.

Transitions can be both exciting and daunting, often bringing up fears and anxieties that we may not expect.

Shari shares her wisdom on understanding that it's completely normal for fears to surface during these pivotal moments. More importantly, she emphasises that true growth happens when we choose to walk into our fears rather than run away from them. By facing our fears head-on, we unlock the potential for profound personal development and strength.



Shari’s compassionate guidance will help you reframe your perspective on fear, turning it into an opportunity for growth and empowerment. Whether you're navigating the journey to birth, adjusting to motherhood, or experiencing other life changes, this episode offers valuable insights to support you.



Ready to take the next step in your journey to a positive birth experience?



Shari is excited to introduce the 'Journey to Birth' online course, available now for just $197 including GST. This comprehensive program is designed to equip you with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to embrace your pregnancy and birth with ease and empowerment.

In this episode we have a couple Kerri & Tom come onto the podcast to share their journey of pregnancy & birth.



It was so beautiful to listen to them both and how they were very conscious of the decisions they made every step of the way from getting their mind and bodies ready to call in their daughter to the journey of pregnancy and how they supported each other.



Doing Hypnobirthing with Shari and how that helped them feel confident in the decisions they made to have a home birth and how now Kerri is supporting mums herself now through their journeys.



Kerry is a mindset coach, conscious parent educator, hypnosis, and NLP master practitioner and her mission is to support women and mamas to create sustainable connect with themselves and within their families.
