Today's episode is sponsored by my beautiful friend Emma Norris, Perinatal Clinicial Nutritionist at Maia Mothers Collective.

Are you thinking about conceiving again in the next 6 months, but concerned your body isn't quite ready to go again? Do you feel exhausted, foggy and overwhelmed? Are you anxious to have a better pregnancy, birthing and postpartum experience that your previous one? 

My friend Emma is a Clinical Perinatal Nutritionist and she wants to change the way women approach their pregnancies by empowering them to take control of their health in the few months prior to conception. Emma has just launched an online course called Your Trimester Zero. 

The live 6-week course explores all of the important stuff you need to know to get your body and mind ready for a thriving pregnancy and postpartum. She walks you through preconception nutrition, supplements, the menstrual cycle, sperm health and lifestyle practices that are helpful before you get pregnant again.

The course has tonnes of value like weekly handouts, preconception meal plan, interactive food planning template, blood pathology cheat sheet, weekly journalling prompts, meditation and even breath work guides. As a mum herself, Emma knows how easy it can be to put your own needs last. But she wants you to feel in control, empowered and confident you're doing everything you can to optimise your own health, future pregnancy and postpartum period by teaching you the tools she knows can make a difference in your experience.

Emma has generously given poddy listeners an exclusive 20% discount to the course. Just use code MAMAMATTERS at checkout.
