359. Top 3 Things on Learning About Motherhood and Training to Be a Mom with Jessica Lorion

How do you train for motherhood? This is the question that Jessica Lorion found herself asking. And from her own personal inquiry, that question sprouted a podcast and community dedicated to preparing for motherhood.  We’re huge fans of this idea. Having a number of “non-moms” or “soon-to-be” or in Jessica’s community, “mama in training,” we understand and recognize the value in taking time to reflect on the experience and journey of parenthood -- before the physical experience. Jessica shares the top 3 things she has learned in her own journey and how all moms from preconception to postpartum can take something from these lessons and apply them to their own lives. Things we talk about in this episode: training to be a mom, advocacy in parenthood, preparation and planning, letting go of expectations, importance of community, importance of studying motherhood Links: Jessica’s Website: https://mamasintraining.com/ Jessica’s IG: https://www.instagram.com/mamasintrainingpod/ Jessica’s Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/mamasintraining Doing It At Home book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B098GVJ9KL?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 DIAH website: https://www.diahpodcast.com/ DIAH Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doingitathome/ DIAH YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGoKeBfEZ143sWU7V9I5Gdg DIAH Store: https://yoursuccessfulhomebirth.com/ DIAH Merch: https://bit.ly/3qhwgAe  Give Back to DIAH: https://bit.ly/3qgm4r9 Learn more about your ad choices.
