Today I'm talking with Marnie Madras about how she helps change the cultural narrative around pregnancy. Marnie is the founder and CEO of Rumbly. This new incredible brand is on a mission to change how women experience pregnancy. Rumbly started as a small idea during her third pregnancy when she realized women's experiences during this life changing time deserved a new narrative. With previous entrepreneurial work in hospitality, food, drink and product development, Marnie embarked on a new journey focused on leading a change in how we approach the transition into motherhood. Helping Women prioritize themselves throughout the whole journey, and particularly when no one else is, while further tapping into the excitement of it all continues to be the mission of Rumbly since the first conception. And to this day Rumbly is so much more than just a curated box of awesome products. It's carving a new way for women to experience pregnancy, one that's dedicated to both the woman she is and the mom she's becoming. Being a mother and starting Rumbly has equally brought Marnie the highest levels of joy. Key Questions:Virginia  01:26 Have you always kind of been the entrepreneurial type?Virginia  04:06 What are some things that people could find in your box?Virginia  07:48 Do you guys have like an ideal client?Virginia  08:44 Where can you get Rumbly?Virginia  11:11 So how do you guys get in front of your ideal customer?

At least he had all the king's horses and all the king's men to help him get back together again. Unfortunately, no one could help Joshua in such a way.He became anxious for no apparent reason at all and felt no control over his emotions. He became easily overloaded and had such bad migraine headaches that it knocked him out for 24 hours. Some days he wasn’t even functional to the point where he couldn’t move forward in his life. He never thought he could heal or resolve these problems, even though he kept working and working, and maybe became a bit compulsive at healing himself to no avail. He studied and studied an abundance of healing modalities with the intention to heal himself.

She felt it leave her body during their work together.
