In this week's episode I speak with the divine Paris Lucas. Paris is a holistic health and nutrition coach specialising in postpartum, women and children from birth and beyond. Paris was a guest in episode 17 and I’m so excited to have her back to speak about her birth and forth trimester with Coco. Paris is raw in this episode, and incredibly open in sharing the challenges she faced in her fourth trimester. I’m deeply grateful for her vulnerability and honesty, and I know that you will feel a mixture of gratitude and compassion both for your own journey and her’s through this episode.
