Today, we're tackling a super common question: How do you tell the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger? But did you know there are actually four different types of hunger? Understanding these can help transform your eating habits and your relationship with food.

In this episode, I break down the four types of hunger and share:

• The subtle clues that reveal which type of hunger you’re experiencing.
• How knowing this can change your eating habits for the better.
• The key to reducing stress and anxiety around food.
• The surprising truth about emotional eating – it’s not what you think!

We’ll also dive into why keeping regular eating intervals can be a game-changer for your energy and hormone levels, and how it helps you avoid those impulsive eating moments. Plus, we’ll explore how to create positive memories with food without the guilt.

During my pregnancy, I was obsessed with listening to positive birth stories and imagining what my own would be like and I'm so excited to share it all with you today. I recap all the nitty gritty details from the highs and lows of pregnancy to the unexpected twists and turns of my labor and delivery!

In this episode you'll hear:

• How I decided between birthing at-home, in a birth center or at the hospital
• What resources, courses, and classes *we* took to prepare
• What expectations I had of my husband
• The really important conversations we had before getting pregnant
• How long it took for me to get pregnant
• Tips for morning sickness
• How we did our gender reveal
• Why we chose to hire a doula
• What my birth wishes were
• My attempt to go unmedicated
• All my desperate attempts to induce labor
• How hypnobirthing helped me
• The challenges I faced with my baby's position
• What contractions / back labor felt like
• What I used for pain management during labor
• How I advocated for myself
• And what happened immediately after delivery

I delve into the various stages of my pregnancy, the preparations my husband and I made, and the intense emotions that accompanied the journey. Despite the unexpected twists, the birth of my son was a profound and empowering experience.

This episode is not just a recount of my birth story but also a tribute to the incredible support from my husband, my doula, and my medical team. Whether you're a soon-to-be mom, a new mom, or someone who loves birth stories, I hope my journey brings you insight, hope, and maybe even some excitement for your own path to motherhood.

Links to things mentioned in the show:

• Use Code 'JESSIJEAN' for 10% OFF >> The Birth Class For Couples - by Balanced Families. This course was a GAME-CHANGER for my husband and I and helped us understand our options for various ways of birthing, how to prepare for birth during pregnancy, labor 101, knowing our options / how to advocate for ourselves, pain management techniques, what to expect immediately after baby is born, and how your partner can best show up for YOU. It was AMAZZZZZING!
• Expectful App - I loved the pregnancy and birth focused meditations, visualizations, and the hypnobirthing audio course inside this app.
• Super Soft 'Lila' Labor Gown - I wanted to be as comfy as possible during labor and this gown was incredibly soft. I loved it!
