    BONUS EPISODE - Third Trimester Energy Shift

    This episode nearly didn’t make it out of my drafts. I recorded it during a moment where my energy felt low, my mindset was shifting and I wasn’t feeling like my usual self… but listening back, I realised there are some really important reminders in here for this stage of pregnancy. The third trimester can feel different. Slower. Heavier. More emotional. And that’s not something we talk about enough. Inside this episode, I share what this shift can feel like, how it’s shown up for me, and how I’ve been supporting myself through it, physically and mentally as I prepare for birth. If you’re in your third trimester and not quite feeling like yourself, give this a listen!
