This conversation explores identity beyond our roles, giving our partners room to grow, and learning to be present enough to hear ourselves again.\nAnd just when you think you've heard it all, I share the journal entry that unknowingly documented the beginning of one of the biggest plot twists of our lives: a cryptic pregnancy! Because apparently, the universe had other plans. 😭\nWe're closing out this season with a conversation about marriage after kids, redefining wellness in our 30s, and building a family legacy on our own terms.\nFendi Fact: Early Marriage in the United States — Read the research on PubMed Central.\nHerb of the Week: Maca Root 🌿 — Explore the research and potential benefits of maca.\n(As always, please do your own research and consult a qualified healthcare professional before using herbs medicinally, especially in concentrated oil form.
