Differences between Carrying, Birthing, and Parenting Each Child with Kristin Carlson
What I love about Kristin’s story is that it once again reminds us that every birth is different and there is no way to TRULY plan ahead for it. Episode 02 of Poised & Powerful Podcast is sharing the story of how Kristin became a mom and then having another baby!

Expecting parentings will have a framework for considering and building positive habits for not just the baby - but also yourself. New parents will learn how to move like a kid again, so you have more energy for what matters.
In this episode of Poised & Powerful Podcast, my guest and I discuss the following:
We chat through pregnancy, two different births, and the parenting experience.
The differences between Kristin’s first and second birth experiences.
How the Alexander Technique helped her be able to have a birth experience that worked for her.
Kristin opens up about her anxiety as a mom and how she gets support to help her navigate that right now.
Kristin shared such an important reminder that sometimes we go into something we’ve done before, like giving birth again, with preconceived ideas based on our past experiences; but it’s important to remember that no two births are the same - even for the same person!
