Welcome to the Pure Nurture Book Club! Grab a cup of tea and soak up chapter 3 entitled, Mindfulness and Meditation from my book, Pure Nurture—A Holistic Guide to a Healthy Baby. (It's only 25 minutes.) I wrote this book to pass on self-care tips I wish my friends would've shared with me while I was pregnant because the development of our babies is closely related to how we take care of ourselves. I hope it inspires you to find new ways to feel your best because self-care is NOT a luxury. It's vital. Each chapter of my book will relate to another book or guest I've had on the podcast so you can dive deeper on whatever intrigues you. As always, take in what feels right for you and forget the rest!
