Our mindset is extremely influential. It creates our filter on the world, impacts how we interpret the results we get, and even shifts the results that we do get. I was mindful of my mindset before and during my pregnancies, because, quite frankly, I knew at times that I didn’t have the most empowering mindsets….
I’ve gotten to know Nichole Churchill at Radiant Heart Yoga (RHY) well as we’ve worked together on Advocate Sherman Hospital’s Empowered Pregnancy Program.

It’s OK to feel overwhelmed. Let me start there. It’s easy to think that you’re not succeeding or you’re not effective if you’re feeling like it’s too much….
Set backs happen. Sometimes they happen when we feel the least equipped to handle them. Often in the leadership training that I facilitate (along with being a Pregnancy Coach, I’m also a Training and Development Consulting and Business Coach), I share about the learning curve. Ah, the learning curve! I seem to more easily remember the…
I’ve spoken and worked with women who created their ideal birth experience, because they first had a delivery process that didn’t work for them in some ways. Maybe they agreed to an episiotomy (or other intervention) that in hindsight they wish they hadn’t authorized. Maybe they felt they invited too many people to be part of…
