Welcome to our very first guest episode! We are so honored to be joined by the lovely Kendall Havens, who sits down with us for a heartfelt and honest conversation about her journey through the first trimester of pregnancy.

In this episode, Kendall takes us from the very beginning—the conversations and desire to start a family with her partner (and our host's brother!), the unforgettable story of seeing that positive test and the rush of emotions that followed.

Kendall gets real about the "first-trimester fog," sharing her candid experience with morning sickness, fatigue, and the emotional rollercoaster that defines those early weeks. We talk about the magic of the first doctor's appointment, the excitement of sharing the news with family, and what she’s looking forward to as she heads into the second trimester.

This is a must-listen for anyone who is planning for a family, currently pregnant, or simply loves a story about one of life's most profound milestones.
