In this episode, we sit down with holistic prenatal nutritionist and mother of two, Anisa Woodall, to explore how intentional nourishment before conception can transform pregnancy and birth. Anisa shares her personal story of healing from depletion, her transition from midwife-attended birth to sovereign free birth, and how her work empowers women to reclaim their innate fertility and vitality. Together, we discuss how deep nourishment and self-trust prepare women for a resilient motherhood journey.
