Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum Preparation: My Lighter Way
This podcast, hosted by Dr. Emma Nagy, focuses on preparing pregnant women mentally and emotionally for birth and the postpartum period. It emphasizes mindset shifts, evidence-based mental health tools, and practical strategies to reduce anxiety and build confidence. Unlike typical pregnancy education, it centers on the mother's well-being rather than just the baby's arrival. Each episode offers weekly insights, real stories, and science-backed methods to help mothers enjoy a more peaceful and positive experience.
