Freckled Foodie & Friends

In this episode, I give a life update and share my recent experience being eight months pregnant at my cousin’s wedding, and how I’m generally feeling physically and mentally. I unpack the confusion of feeling anxious over daily life things but not “bigger” events, why anxiety sparks when I’m not able to show up as my truest self, and why I’m choosing to ignore the “more is better” mentality right now and lean into “less.” I share all the things I’m excited for postpartum (hello, soft belly), and what I plan to do differently in my second postpartum experience versus my first. Key Takeaway / Points:On the confusion of feeling anxious over daily life things, but not “bigger” eventsOn feeling anxious when I’m not able to show up as my truest selfOn being eight months pregnant at my cousin’s weddingWhat people don’t tell you about parenthoodThings I’m excited for postpartumOn choosing to ignore the “more is better” mentality and leaning into “less”What I plan to do differently in my second postpartum experi
