862. I’m Pregnant with Baby #2! An Unfiltered Update + Q&A

Show: Almost 30

Maybe you guessed it?! Lindsey is pregnant with baby #2! In this episode, she shares her exciting news and gets real about the emotional, physical, and spiritual shifts of pregnancy the second time around—from body image, being pregnant with a toddler, and squeezing self-care into the cracks.

Ahead, she shares how she and Sean are preparing for the transition to two kids—from daily check-ins to managing capacity, expectations, and avoiding resentment. She also shares mindset shifts around partnership, presence, and creating a supportive dynamic during major life changes.

Plus, Lindsey answers your most-asked pregnancy questions—including her workout routine, nutrition, supplements, and what surprised her most about this pregnancy. She also opens up about her birth mindset—how she’s preparing mentally + physically for labor.

Managing body image + confidence during pregnancy

What she eats in a day during the second trimester
