A Personal Update: Motherhood, Home Renovations, Sleep Deprivation, and Life Behind the Scenes
Tanya Ellie, Functional Practitioner & Health Coach

In this episode, I’m sharing a little life update and bringing you behind the scenes of what’s been going on lately. We talk about Noah’s latest sleep phase and how months of interrupted sleep have shown up in my own lab results. I also share an update on our kitchen remodel after discovering mold earlier this year. We get into what it’s been like introducing solids and some of the unexpected challenges that come with teaching a baby how to eat. I definitely don’t have everything figured out in this season of motherhood, but I’m bringing you along for the ride. 😅
