EP112- How to Manage Your Time in Each of the 5 Trimesters with Anna Dearmon Kornick

Friends, It is with a heavy heart that I close the doors to the Mamas in Training Podcast. The past 3.5 years have been unbelievable and have connected me to so many of you, creating a community I only dreamt of! However, my life has been thrown a major curveball and continuing the podcast is not aligning with me at this time. I want to make sure that I'm showing up authentically and truthfully for each and every one of you and until I can do that again, I am stepping away. So, this is the last episode, but if you haven't heard the past 143 other episodes, I encourage you to check them out! You're also welcome to join us over on Facebook if you're not a part of that community for continued support from each other. I hope to be back in the podcast world some day, but for now, be well! We're in this together, Jess, Your Host

Infertility can feel lonely and desperate… as if you have no control. Especially if we’re told we have unexplained infertility, what are we to do?! How can we not just throw up our hands and give up?!

Without any caution to say the right thing, not scare people or be P.C. Let's ACTUALLY talk about our vaginas and normalize what we will experience after birth. By doing so, we’ll be better prepared mentally and physically and not be caught so off guard. So… if you’d rather get some headphones, this might be a good time. YES, today we are talking about our vaginas post-birth. By the end of this episode you'll really know what goes on down there and what to expect!

Overwhelmed by finances and motherhood? By the end of this episode, you will know where to begin with your money, how to navigate all of those misc. expenses that come along with pregnancy and birth and find comfort in knowing that it is through these Tough, but important conversations that we can create generational wealth and support for our family.

When we enter motherhood, there is an expectation that, “this is just how it is.” You’re never going to get sleep, you’re not going to be able to focus on yourself, good luck, “welcome to motherhood.” But what if we want something different for ourselves? Amelia Kriss is a Drama Therapist and Certified Coach in private practice in the Bay Area, California, where she lives with her husband and two powerhouse daughters. She works primarily with recovering people-pleasers and "Nice" girls who are ready to deconstruct self-shrinking patterns, and find more ease & joy. Amelia is also deeply committed to Birth Story Medicine work--helping birthing parents integrate, and move forward from, unresolved issues connected to the experience of giving birth. She believes that supporting parents through birthing as a rite of passage is an important (and too often missing) piece of creating healthier & happier families.
