Support for Those Trying to Conceive
Lindsey offers empathy, shares her losses, and invites listeners to DM for support and connection.
Maybe you guessed it?! Lindsey is pregnant with baby #2! In this episode, she shares her exciting news and gets real about the emotional, physical, and spiritual shifts of pregnancy the second time around—from body image, being pregnant with a toddler, and squeezing self-care into the cracks.
Ahead, she shares how she and Sean are preparing for the transition to two kids—from daily check-ins to managing capacity, expectations, and avoiding resentment. She also shares mindset shifts around partnership, presence, and creating a supportive dynamic during major life changes.
Plus, Lindsey answers your most-asked pregnancy questions—including her workout routine, nutrition, supplements, and what surprised her most about this pregnancy. She also opens up about her birth mindset—how she’s preparing mentally + physically for labor.
We also talk about:
- Maintaining connection with your partner during pregnancy
- Mobility, stretching, and preparing the body for labor
- Her birth plan + choosing a midwife vs. OB-GYN
- Managing body image + confidence during pregnancy
- What she eats in a day during the second trimester
- Pregnancy nutrition, protein, and choline for baby development
- Supporting your toddler through the transition to a new sibling
- Navigating conception journeys, loss, and trusting your body
