Pregnancy, Miscarriage and Home Birth with Lauren Williams

In this episode Alyssa chats with Lauren Williams about her pregnancies, how she and her husband walked through having three miscarriages and about her home birth experience with her little man Oliver. 
 
Lauren is a mama to 3 angel babies, 3-year old Ollie and baby girl on the way. She is the wife to a chiropractor, business owner at Roots Family Chiropractic, occupational therapist + happy homebody (enneagram 5w6 all the way!). You can most likely find Lauren enjoying an oat milk at her favorite coffee shop or strolling around the beautiful neighborhoods of Chicago with her little family.
 
She says, "Life is crazy, but I always make time for a hot shower at the end of the night and scouting out the newest non-toxic product. Oh and I love sharing my world rooted in health and simplicity on my Instagram, @growingmay. I'm pretty much an open book!
 
Ps- Virtual cheers to all those ladies out there trying to figure it all out + chasing the dream of drinking coffee while it’s still hot. You are my people!"

Om Podcasten

Hi friends, welcome to the Fit For Motherhood Podcast!!! Thank you for taking time out of your day to listen, we are SO excited to have you with us! We have been friends since early childhood, grew up together and are currently the moms of littles 5 and under. A LITTLE BIT OF INFO ON US Ali lives in central Illinois with her husband, Matt, and their three kids (4, 3 & 1). She is a part time hair stylist and spends the rest of her time at home with her kids. She is an enneagram 9w1. Alyssa lives in Chicago with her husband, Grant, and their two toddlers (3 & 1). She works part time as a pediatric oncology nurse and is also a certified holistic health coach & life coach and the owner of Grounded Roots Coaching. She especially loves working with women during their first year postpartum. She is still trying to figure out her enneagram. WHY ARE WE PASSIONATE ABOUT THE TOPIC OF MOTHERHOOD? • We’re MOMS • We’ve both experienced difficulties in our journeys as moms and have felt alone in dealing with those challenges. • We’re tired of the perfect images that are crafted on social media to which we find ourselves comparing our lives. • For Ali, she has become more self-aware in the last year or so and is tired of being dragged along by life. She has challenged herself to find ways to be more proactive about her mental and physical health because she realizes how much those things affect her ability to parent effectively. WHY ARE WE DOING THIS PODCAST? • Letting moms know that they are not alone in questioning their fitness for parenting • Encouraging other moms to know that we can do the hard things of motherhood, even when we doubt our abilities. • Sharing practical applications and also ideas that can be helpful in keeping ourselves mentally and physically fit for motherhood. We would love to have you with us every week as we talk together through topics that are important to us (and hopefully you!), interview other moms who are walking through all the different issues that come with the different stages of motherhood, and bond together over the things we have in common that truly make us fit for motherhood.
