Denae, Vanessa, and "The Shaft" hear Rachael and Jordan's story of experiencing an intense pregnancy and birth of their son, Jack Dylan. We talk Hyperemesis Gravidarum (yes, the morning sickness Kate Middleton and Amy Schumer also suffered from) and the impacts of this on their relationship and pregnancy. Their perspective is both honest and hopeful – highlighting the good amidst difficult circumstances. This is part one, so stay tuned next week to hear about Rachael's labor and delivery.

As always, we have our weekly check-in, we talk about Denae being her therapist's most challenging patient and what we all look for in choosing a therapist. We all need therapy now more than ever. We hope this encourages you to seek out support if needed.
