    Life Update - I AM PREGNANT??

    How did this happen??? In this deeply personal episode of The Amelia Botanica Podcast, I share the story of discovering I was pregnant — a moment that was both surreal and sacred after years of navigating hormone imbalances, fear, and uncertainty around fertility. This episode is a love letter to the women on all paths of the feminine journey: those who are trying, waiting, grieving, or unsure. I begin with a gentle trigger warning and an open heart, knowing how layered these conversations can be. I take you behind the scenes of: My hormone health history and why I thought IVF might be necessary The emotional and physical preparation my husband and I did before trying The shock and gratitude I felt when I conceived naturally The loneliness and fear I experienced in the first trimester How I supported my body through nausea and overwhelm What I’m doing now in my second trimester and my plans moving forward A brief glimpse into my intentions for the fourth trimester How pregnancy is reshaping the future of Amelia Botanica This episode is tender, raw, and rooted in reverence for the sacred transition into motherhood. Whether you’re on a similar path or simply curious to listen in, thank you for holding space for this new chapter with me. If you're currently on a fertility journey, if you've experienced loss, or if this topic is sensitive for you in any way — please know that I see you, I honor you, and you’re in my thoughts. This episode contains my personal story of pregnancy, and while I hope it feels nourishing and honest, I completely understand if you need to skip it today. All my love, Amelia Botanica

    Self Love with Olivia

    Today we have Olivia on the podcast. Olivia is an amazing pilates instructor that shares so much juice about her amazing practices to self love.  Olivia’s love for movement started when she was a little girl. She used to go skiing with her family each year which eventuated to skiing competitively.  When she decided to stop racing, Olivia found it hard to find a form of exercise that resonated with her and where she felt comfortable and confident in her own skin whilst working out.  Olivia got into reformer pilates and it was a game changer for her. Liv then realised there would be so many women and men out there who may have struggled to find confidence in their own movement so that’s when she decided to start my teacher training to not just better her own personal motivation but to also to help others feel confident and encourage too.  In this episode Liv shares her story and how she promotes self love and confidence into all of her students. Please find Olivia on her instagram @thatpilateslover  Let us know what you think of this episode and we would love your comments and feedback via instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ameliabotanica ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ We would love for you to share with your loved ones, like and subscribe to the podcast so we can support more amazing humans.  Want to work with Amelia?
