In this solo episode, the host shares a personal experience about navigating early pregnancy while managing professional commitments. After trying to conceive for two years and undergoing fertility treatments, she becomes pregnant at 36. Excited but cautious due to the early stage of her pregnancy, she decides to cancel a speaking engagement. The host emphasizes the importance of sensitively approaching topics such as pregnancy and body image, sharing an uncomfortable situation where someone mistakenly brought up her expected due date, unaware she had miscarried. This episode also highlights resources and communities like Women in Influencer Marketing (WIIM), encouraging open discussions about often-stigmatized issues. The host aims to foster a supportive environment where women can share and learn from each other's experiences.
