The EMF Course - It's Not for the Fan at Heart

In this episode, we welcome back to the show the insightful Melissa Ambrosini. Named a self-help guru by Elle Magazine, our friend, Melissa, is also the bestselling author of Mastering Your Mean Girl, Open Wide, Comparisonitis, and the Audible original, PurposeFULL. She also happens to be host of the #1 rated podcast, The Melissa Ambrosini Show.

The conversation you're about to drop in on is all about Melissa's journey into motherhood and everything she's learned along the way to becoming a first-time mom – so we spend time honoring the important challenges, the blessings, and everything in between.

And Melissa and I also talk about her incredible new eight-week guided course called Wholy Mama, wherein she and a group of other world-renowned fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and even parenting experts, guide members through the entire process of doing all of this holistically. 

I highly recommend checking this out if you intend to have kids. I know I personally can't wait to get in there and learn all of this stuff myself. You can check that out at lukestorey.com/wholymama.
