episode 41: #041 My first time - Hanna's first pregnancy test
Hanna takes us on the ride of her very first pregnancy test ever! There's no buns in these ovens, but it's a beautiful rollercoaster ride to clearing up some brain space. When your cycle just isn't playing by the rules, all of the thoughts and best/worst case scenarios can take up a lot of room, and there's only one (almost totally) reliable way to clear up the question marks.

Caity committed to pumping exclusively, which she kept up until his first birthday. (Quote Hanna: "You are a Ninja!") Caity talks about the ups and downs within that first year, her struggles and what helped her to keep going and trust herself, what she learned along the way and all that she is grateful for...
episode 39: #039 A beginning. - Movement and exercise as a new parent.
Megan brings us news of a (re-)new(ed) beginning in her life: movement! She tells us about her experience of exercise through pregnancy and as a mom. We talk about finding time and motivation for exercise and how there's no "just" doing anything when facing different kinds of barriers to taking care of our bodies. Each step taken is a victory, and now on to trying to do it again.. https://www.youtube.com/c/yogawithadriene https://jamesclear...

Hanna and Megan talk about periods and cycles this week! Our constant companion (with some breaks) is a topic of much discussion in our relationship, and we love to talk about her. Hanna shares her many-faceted journey through pills and products and the cycle of the moon, and how she got to where she's at - in tune with where her body is and what it needs. Megan talks about getting back her old familiar, though now foreign, rhythm after being period-free for over a year...
episode 37: #037 She gone. - Life changes after kids...
Today we introspect a bit about the changes we go through as parents in our everyday life. How is life different, and what changes are we looking forward to? We talk prioritizing the essentials and figuring out what those even are. And of course, we cover the classics: sleep and date nights. Life may be unrecognizable, but it's a beautiful change! ...mostly Go to 3:52 if you want to skip our chat about curtains. ;) Website: https://heymamaihavequestions...
