SO much changes when you become a mom.
Your body.
Your priorities.
Your sleep – or lack of – hello!
And your relationship with yourself and your spouse.
But of all those changes, navigating the changes in how you view both yourself and the dynamics of your relationship with your spouse isn’t something most birthing classes will cover.
That’s where my guest this week wants to fill in the gaps.
Through her own challenging postpartum journey, Laura Spencer became passionate about supporting and nurturing moms as they learn their new role.
She’s now dedicated to guiding new moms in restoring their relationship with themselves and their partners by learning to redefine expectations, embrace the new, and cultivate hope.
In this very candid conversation with Laura, she shares how she’s transitioned from full-time teacher to postpartum coach. And the challenging personal journey of discovery and growth both with herself and with her husband that she’s been on in the past year.
