We are super excited to be back recording this episode after Carla had a baby (9 weeks ago). Keep an eye out for the birth story in the next episode, she wasn't quite ready to share it yet. In this episode, we have a quick chat about baby stuff (like how loud babies fart) and also about doing hard things, because things can be hard, but hard isn't always bad, right?

Also, Emma's microphone did not have the best connection... for some reason, something to do with my internet and zoom. Anyway, it's not too bad, so still press play!

This is what we spoke about during the episode

Carla had a baby! YAY!
Exercise is not always easy, but the reward is worth it.
Sometimes it's not the action that's hard, but it's starting action. Finding the motivation is hard.
When you have zero motivation, the best thing to do is take action. PUSH THROUGH the resistance.
The book "The Tea Rose" makes us appreciate the luxury of modern living compared to the manual labour of the past.
Running a business with a baby is really hard, preparation and having good systems in place are important (haha).
Have a routine, but be flexible.
We are against dieting. But, we're not against eating healthily.
The hardest thing is to change your mindset.
We also share the unexpected challenges of new motherhood, from feeding and burping to celebrating milestones like baby Denny's first smiles and giggles.
