In this episode, I respond to me at 39-weeks pregnant (from last podcast, episode 19) and share the real real of how maternity leave went down.

I cover my postpartum journey...the identity shifts, fears, personal insights, challenges, and the deep transformation that comes with motherhood. (And I'm only 6 months out, WOW)
