Bringing a baby into the world is the hardest, most incredible experience a woman can have. The challenges and hardships of pregnancy all culminate to a moment in time when we're on the brink of exhaustion but somehow, we manage to push through and recently, Justine rose to the occasion. While her birth story is nothing like she expected it would be, the experience was one we'll never forget. This week's episode is an honest, raw and authentic account of what that experience was like and how it felt for us both. Spoiler alert: Lynsey was there! And we're spilling all the tea on what happened in that delivery room including the conversations we had, the moments we shared and the unfiltered details of what it's like to experience it from both sides. We are Mom's, we are best friends and having shared this birth story has now levelled up our wife status to a whole other level so please join us in the celebration with this episode. With all our love, light, gratitude and appreciation, Justine & Lynsey #womensupportingwomen #podcast #podcastforwomen #ambitiouswomen #canadianpodcast #birthstory #wifestatus #experienceofalifetime #theshamelessera #shameless

Welcome to a very special episode of The Shameless Era! We wanted to take an hour to ourselves this week to share an intimate and inside look into the last 9 months of Justine's journey through pregnancy with Baby #3. It's been an emotional experience (for both of us!) as we've navigated through the highs and lows of growing a baby and how that affected our plans, dreams and goals along the way. **Hint hint** We moved the goal posts but the dreams have only gotten bigger & brighter! 😎 We're both sharing openly & honestly in this episode about our reactions to the unexpected pregnancy and how we've supported each other through. This was the final conversation before baby made their big debut and as of this publication, baby has arrived! Listen to this episode for all the back story details and then stay tuned for next week when we'll share the birth story! (Trust us girlfriends - it's a doozy!)
