I Got a Positive Pregnancy Test… Now What?" You might be thinking, “I’m not even pregnant yet… should I be listening to this?” — and to that I say: yes, hermana. This is your moment to prepare in peace. Because my prayer is that every woman who listens will someday see those two lines.

Whether you're holding a positive test right now, or your period is late and you're already imagining your baby’s name… this episode will walk you through the most tender, confusing, and hopeful moments after a big fat positive (BFP).

This is more than “what to do next.” It’s about how to stay grounded, make informed decisions, and care for your whole self in those early, sacred days.

• What a faint positive line really means

• How to avoid the Google spiral after a BFP

• What to expect from early ultrasounds — and what’s actually “normal”

• Why some OBs wait till 8 weeks, but NaPro doctors don’t

💔Feeling anxious, unsure, or even panicked after seeing a positive pregnancy test — especially after loss or infertility? You’re not alone. That swirl of emotion is real, and too often women walk it alone.

🌷Imagine if you could step into early pregnancy with clarity, peace, and confidence — supported by faith, science, and sisterhood. Imagine celebrating new life without confusion, second-guessing, or fear.

🌱That’s why I created this episode — and why I offer 1:1 fertility + early pregnancy coaching. You don’t have to figure this out on your own.
