Today, I'd like to share a personal story about my recent pregnancy and miscarriage. This story encapsulates the ENTIRE reason I started the Better Belly Podcast. People don’t often hear REAL health stories. This aspect of health is somehow taboo! In reality, these stories happen every day, all the time.Maybe this isn’t a story that directly relates to you. If that is the case, I would encourage you to view this as more than just a story about my miscarriage. This is a story about having a health problem, trying to find answers through conventional and holistic healthcare, and what that means moving forward!One takeaway I hope you leave with is to KEEP looking for answers.Other episodes mentioned in this episode:- 3 Reasons We Struggle Investing In Our Health - and What Could Happen If You Don't BetterBellyTherapies.com/podcast/23Is Your Pelvic Floor Effecting Your Health? + Pregnancy Tips!
