Double Dose of Wellness Podcast

Part 1: The Pregnancy Diaries Welcome to Double Dose of Wellness! In this special 3 part series we’re opening up about one of the most personal and transformative chapters of our lives: pregnancy. As twin sisters and healthcare professionals you might expect our journeys to look the same… but as you’ll hear they were every different from emotions we felt, challenges, and lessons. This conversation is raw and twin perspectives you won’t hear anywhere else. Whether you’re pregnant now, hope to be one day, or just want a peek behind the curtain of real motherhood journeys, we hope our stories make you feel seen, supported, and a little less alone. Part 2 of the Pregnancy Diaries, Our Post Partum Journeys, followed by Part 3 our miscarriages--a heavier, but deeply important conversation we believe needs more space and compassion. We’d love to hear from you, too whether you’re growing a human, raising one, or simply caring for your own body, the same principles apply: nourish yourself, manage stress, and give yourself grace. ⁠A&N Holistic Health Coaching⁠ ⁠The Fourth Trimester: A Postpartum Guide to Healing Your Body, Balancing Your Emotions, and Restoring Your Vitality: Johnson, Kimberly Ann: 9781611804003: Books - Amazon.ca
