How did this happen???
In this deeply personal episode of The Amelia Botanica Podcast, I share the story of discovering I was pregnant — a moment that was both surreal and sacred after years of navigating hormone imbalances, fear, and uncertainty around fertility.
This episode is a love letter to the women on all paths of the feminine journey: those who are trying, waiting, grieving, or unsure. I begin with a gentle trigger warning and an open heart, knowing how layered these conversations can be.
I take you behind the scenes of:
My hormone health history and why I thought IVF might be necessary
The emotional and physical preparation my husband and I did before trying
The shock and gratitude I felt when I conceived naturally
The loneliness and fear I experienced in the first trimester
How I supported my body through nausea and overwhelm
What I’m doing now in my second trimester and my plans moving forward
A brief glimpse into my intentions for the fourth trimester
How pregnancy is reshaping the future of Amelia Botanica
This episode is tender, raw, and rooted in reverence for the sacred transition into motherhood. Whether you’re on a similar path or simply curious to listen in, thank you for holding space for this new chapter with me.
If you're currently on a fertility journey, if you've experienced loss, or if this topic is sensitive for you in any way — please know that I see you, I honor you, and you’re in my thoughts. This episode contains my personal story of pregnancy, and while I hope it feels nourishing and honest, I completely understand if you need to skip it today.
All my love,
Amelia Botanica
