trimester zero: how I'm prepping my body for pregnancy
In this episode, I’m talking about something I’ve been nervous to share: trimester zero (aka the three months before trying to conceive) and how I’m prepping my body for pregnancy without spiraling, biohacking my life, or turning this into a full-time job.
✨ In this episode:
The supplements I’ve added and what I’ve phased out
Why I’m focusing on nervous system > optimization
The reminder that your body is not a project
If you’re thinking about trying soon, already in the thick of it, or just feeling the pressure that women put on themselves in this season, this is me holding your hand through it.

how to get your spark back
In this episode, I’m talking about something I know so many of us go through but don’t always have language for: losing your spark. That feeling when everything feels harder, your energy is dull, and you just don’t quite feel like yourself.
This isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about clearing what’s blocking the version of you that’s already there.
✨ In this episode:
The role hormones, overstimulation, and life transitions play in burnout
The honesty practice that changed everything for me
Small habits that rebuild self-trust and momentum
If you’ve been feeling off, disconnected, or like you’ve lost your energy lately, this episode is for you. Your spark isn’t gone. It’s just waiting for you to come back to yourself.
