It's no secret that HeHe is a firm believer in "Mindset is 90%" of the game mentality. This episode, she is sharing how you can mold your mindset and help support your mental health! "Stop planning your birth for someone else!" she urges listeners. When you fail to do the research yourself, you are blindly trusting someone else's knowledge and resources. Part of remaining in control of your birth experience is knowing your rights and never succumbing to the pressure of "Impossible." HeHe is sharing why "impossible" is just an illusion and it's really all about your grit!

In today's episode, HeHe is breaking down exactly what a Maternity Concierge does each day. The care that TBH clients receive is above and beyond because our end goal is above and beyond, the mindset shifts we intentionally walk through is above and beyond, the language we use is above and beyond. It's been called "extra." She's not afraid to "go there" with TBH clients because we've have seen the pay off in the end. The TBH Approach was born during one of HeHe's trainings and has slowly transformed into a comprehensive approach from infertility support to the first three years of your child's life! The TBH team will be with you every step of the way!

Ahhhh! Alas, the topic that is quietly buzzing, circling like a taboo topic, but almost everyone is curious. Cannabis and parenting. Can you use it for morning sickness? Does it get to your baby through breastmilk? Can you smoke it? Do you have to stop using it to get pregnant? These questions are on many people’s mind and we don’t have even a quarter of the information right now. We’ve only begun to tap into the tip of the iceberg. To get our tribe started on this topic, HeHe sat down with Ashley Reynolds, Founder of Elmore Mountain Therapeutics, to bring you the conversation you’ve all been waiting for. This episode will not answer all of your questions. Rather, we’d like it to get your wheels turning. We intend to continue the exploration and conversation around cannabis and it’s benefits for women. This may be for you and it may not be for you, but it is an option for everyone and that’s our goal. Ashley is explaining the basics of CBD including our cannabinoid systems and what you might feel like after you take CBD. She’s also sharing how incorporating CBD into your daily routine may be the easiest decision you make all year. I can't wait to share this topic with you!
