Show Notes
In this episode, Alanna Ball opens the door on life behind the microphone. She shares the physical and mental toll of carrying twins, the shock of a 27-week arrival, and the long days in NICU when multiple health issues kept stacking up. She also talks about falling pregnant in 2020, the job she resigned from, and the choice to build this work full time.
Motherhood changed how she shows up in health and safety. The mental load is real, yet so is the resilience that follows. Being part of the Women in Safety community this year has helped, and she feels the best she has felt in years.
You will hear about mental health, professional growth, and the power of community support when life tilts. Listen, then add one line in the comments about what helped you through a hard season. Your words might be the lifeline someone needs.
