About Very Beginning

Welcome to my podcast Very Beginning! My name is Anastasia and through personal hardships, I made it my mission to help women feel less alone on their personal women's health & fertility journey. By talking about taboo topics, sharing my personal story, and having conversations with experts in the field my goal is to educate & inspire women and couples dealing with fertility challenges. Season 3 focuses on my own journey of starting my business Carea to provide a pregnancy and postpartum solution for women with a mental-health focus at it's heart.

   S3 Episode 5: Surprise Pregnancy, Birth Centre Birth & Reconnecting with Your Intuition I with Lisa (german)

   Today's episode is my first German episode with the amazing Lisa @villetta.papillon Lisa is sharing her incredible journey of finding out she was unexpectedly pregnant, navigating mental health struggles and anxiety in early pregnancy and fighting for the birth centre birth she envisioned. I am so thankful for Lisa's openness and willingness to share her story - I designed Carea exactly for women like Lisa: who are keen to inform themselves about all their choices to then feel empowered to make the decisions for themselves and their babies that feel right to them. If you are pregnant or postpartum why not give Carea a try: https://careaapp.onelink.me/I5Vw/f3pvkfdd Instagram: Lisa: @villetta.papillon Carea: @careaapp Carea will also soon be available in German - stay tuned!
