02: Mindy Renard - Mama, Friend, Superwoman. A miscarriage redemption story.

So excited to be sharing my FIRST interview on the Perfectly, Wonderfully Made podcast.  Mindy Renard is one of my dear friends, and I'm so excited for you to hear from her. She was one of the first doula clients I ever had the privilege to work with. She will be my first 3 - peat client! I'm been so blessed to attend her first two births. We were neighbors in Puyallup for a season, and when they recently moved to Bonney Lake, we missed them so much we too moved to Bonney Lake.

We talk about living in a house full of boys, love languages, the importance of date night, and being a working mom. She shares her two very different hospital birth stories with us. She also talks about the pain and recovery of miscarriage, and pregnancy after pregnancy loss. She shares some fun ideas for special get aways with your significant other and her favorite resources for new mamas. She also talks about why she is choosing to have her third baby out of the hospital setting. You'll be sure to laugh and learn something new!
