Ep 9 š¤ The Courage to Change & Postpartum Realness with Kelsi Ludvigsen
In this episode, Iām hanging out with my amazing dearrrrr friend and fellow entrepreneur, Kelsi Ludvigsen. We dive into her incredible journey through career changes, her must-have self-care practices, and why having a supportive community is crucial for both business owners and new moms.
Kelsi shares her jaw-dropping story of a near-fatal snake bite, how yoga completely transformed her relationship with her body and intuition, and her big leap from owning a yoga studio to becoming a postpartum educator.
We chat about the ups and downs of making bold decisions, how our bodies play a role in decision-making, and the magic of taking a step back to learn and grow. Plus, Kelsi gives us the lowdown on prepping for maternity leave as an entrepreneur, supporting partners during the postpartum period, and how to build a genuine and integrity-driven online presence.
