Recalibrating For Motherhood: Pressure, Identity, and Self-Love with Conor Millstein

052: If you've ever felt the drive to change or prepare your body for pregnancy, birth, or motherhood, this one is for you. Dr. Brittney brought on her coach, Conor Millstein, to talk about the curious threads between pain-free movement, optimization of your body, identity shifts, and the evolutionary human desires to look fit, reproduce, give birth, and be active for life. Grab your headphones, put on your shoes, and get outside to walk and listen for some major inspiration and recalibration - from a body, mind, and soul perspective.
