16. Pregnancy & Postpartum: No Two Journeys Are The Same
In this heartfelt episode of The Educate & Empower Podcast, Bec is joined by her business bestie, Krysten, for a raw and real conversation about pregnancy and postpartum. While their journeys into motherhood looked completely different, they share the highs, the lows, and everything in between—from the expectations that didn’t quite match reality, to the emotional and physical recovery that’s rarely talked about.
Together, they explore how personal experiences shape our understanding of womanhood and motherhood, and why open conversations like this are so important. Whether you're preparing for motherhood, in the thick of it, or reflecting on your own postpartum journey, this episode will remind you that there’s no “one-size-fits-all” when it comes to pregnancy & postpartum—and you’re not alone.
