In today's episode I chat with Holly who shares her pregnancy journey, birth story and motherhood experience.

Becoming a mother didn't quite look how Holly had envisioned. This is her story of an IVF pregnancy, navigating her husbands cancer diagnosis during pregnancy, to a birth and postpartum that looked nothing like she thought it would.

Holly describes her breastfeeding difficulties, postpartum rage, sleep deprivation, and more. As Holly describes, motherhood 'has been the most difficult but incredible journey I have ever experienced.

Holly shares:

• Having a baby with her husband via IVF as a result of a gender transition.
• Preparing for birth and my challenging birth experience
• Preparing for postpartum
• Overcoming breastfeeding difficulties
• Managing postpartum rage
• Navigating husbands cancer diagnosis and treatment during pregnancy and postpartum.
• Learning how to take care of myself properly and maintaining a positive mindset through it all.
