    #1 Pregnancy and self-care

    In the very first episode of the Becoming Mama™ Podcast, Diana talks about the importance of self-care through pregnancy. We live in a society that makes us feel like self-care is selfish, but really it is the least selfish thing you can do, especially when you are on the brink of motherhood.

    #3 Miscarriage

    This episode is dedicated to women who are experiencing a miscarriage, if listening feels right. Miscarriage is perhaps the most intensely personal experience a person can go through. There is no right way to feel, except the way that comes up for you naturally—just know that you are deeply and lovingly held and supported.

Thankful

I just found out I was pregnant last night and I am so thankful I have found this podcast. This will be my first baby and I am so nervous, excited and all of the emotions in between. My fiancé and I were trying but it happened MUCH quicker than expected. I am soaking up all I can in this podcast and am going to be buying the book as well.
