➡️ On this episode, you will hear Nicolette's “I HAD NO IDEA” moments throughout parenting. Season 1: Episode 7 (Part 1 of 2)

✅ This episode is unique because Nicolette had a great first birth experience with her daughter, followed by 9 wonderful years of parenting before her son came along.
✅ During her second birth, Nicolette ended up suffering a life-threatening, and rare birth complication, that resulted in a near miss for both her and her son, and had an extreme amount of birth trauma with it as well.
✅ Because of this, her parenting experiences for each of her kids has been very different, and we'll be discussing those experiences over the next 2 episodes!
✅ This episode has a good mix of fun, honest, real and raw moments all in one - and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
