145: Trusting Intuition: Navigating Motherhood, Medical Decisions, and Personal Growth with Elizabeth Tuazon

In this episode, I welcome back Elizabeth Tuazon. We discuss her current stage of motherhood, how the universe always wants us to succeed, and her family’s upcoming transitions. 

With Elizabeth Tuazon’s daughter, Lyla Rose, now a year and one-month-old, I checked in with her for a motherhood update. Elizabeth shares how she celebrated her one-year anniversary of giving birth with a Montessori Walk Around the Sun. It was a beautiful time to reflect on the milestones and growth she and her family made in the last year. 

We then dive into the lessons learned by exercising our free will to make choices and question things, even things accepted as normal or standard, like what a pregnant woman is allowed to eat or why babies are required to have their iron tested. Elizabeth has two significant transitions ahead: an au pair and a doctoral program. Elizabeth’s willingness, grace, and curiosity with which she accepts newness and every step of motherhood never fails to amaze me.
