The Well-Nourished Mother: Helping You Thrive in Pregnancy, Birth & Motherhood

MUSINGS & MAGICK: Evolving Out Loud: Messy Creation, People Pleasing & Business as a Living Ecosystem (JUNE FULL MOON with Lauren & Nicole)

Lauren Fortuna-Floch

Nicole and Lauren gather just ahead of the full moon to share honest updates and reflections on life, business, and the ever-changing seasons of motherhood. 

Our biggest intention for this episode is to give you a big behind the scenes peek into our process behind launching and refining our latest offering, Held—a community designed for mother-serving professionals. 

We openly discuss the little pivots and  “course corrections” we’ve made, the importance of play and spaciousness in the creative process, and how responding to YOUR feedback and our own needs has shaped our business in a deeply embodied way.

As usual there’s also a sprinkling of so many juicy topics waiting for you from:

  • Our usual energy/cycle/life updates (including iron infusions, birthday months, and new kittens!)
  • The acceptance of and identity shifts of neurodivergence
  • Honoring different seasons in business and motherhood
  • Navigating ambition, capacity, and the myth of one-size-fits-all strategy
  • Balancing “people pleasing” with true responsiveness and evolution
  • Fullness vs. busyness: Reframing your perception of life’s demands
  • The importance of slow growth, prioritizing relationships over transactions, and letting action (not overthinking) shape the next right steps in entrepreneurship
  • Finally, we’re sharing our biggest piece of advice for any other space holding entrepreneurs out there

You'll find plenty of relatable insights about honoring your own rhythm, letting go of rigidity, and building community in ways that are truly nourishing. Whether you’re here for reflections on motherhood, inspiration for your own creative ventures, or just to feel a little more connected to these 2 silly weirdos, there’s magick in this episode for you. 


HELD is a community membership for mother-serving visionaries—birthworkers, coaches, and space holders—who want to grow their business without bypassing their body. Inside, we blend somatics, embodied strategy, and values-led leadership so your business can nourish you and your clients. Founding member spots are open (only 10 available!) at a deeply discounted rate — we start September 9. Secure your spot now: www.nestandnourish.ca/held
