This week, Nikole Goncalves, the face behind HealthNut Nutrition, one of the top healthy food and lifestyle YouTube channels in Canada, returns to the podcast for another visit. Joining her this time is her partner, Matthew Varga, aka ‘Mr. Matt’, himself a budding YouTube star who has built an incredible multimillion dollar real estate portfolio. Their lives have changed considerably since Nikole’s first visit as they have recently become parents to their now three month old daughter, Sage, and today they share the details of this very special experience.   The entire episode is devoted to this incredible superpower of creating life, delving into such topics as Nikole’s preparation for pregnancy and the pregnancy itself, the steps she took to prepare for the actual birth, the pain experienced during childbirth, and the glorious moment of Sage’s actual birth. Along the way, they also discuss Matt’s observations throughout the pregnancy, and the biggest lessons they have both learned since becoming parents. Enhanced with Joy and Walker’s contributions regarding their own experiences, Nikole and Matt’s account of this truly momentous occasion is equal parts informative, inspiring and moving, rendering this yet another ‘must listen’ episode of the Joyous Health podcast.     Episode Highlights:     Becoming parents   Prepping for pregnancy   Nikole’s pregnancy experience   Matt’s experience during her first trimester   The differences between her trimesters   Preparing for Sage’s birth   West End Mamas   Perineal stretching   Working with a midwife and a doula   The pain experienced during childbirth   The moment of Sage’s birth   The first 3 months since her birth   Their biggest learning since becoming parents   Resources:   The Importance of Being True to Yourself and Following Your Passion with YouTube Superstar Nikole of HealthNut Nutrition!   Nikole and Matt's Natural Birth Vlog   West End Mamas      Nikole’s Social Media:    HealthNut Nutrition Homepage HealthNut Nutrition Blog Instagram Facebook YouTube    Matt’s Social Media:   Matthew Varga Real Estate YouTube  Instagram Linktree   More about Joyous Health:    Check out our award-winning blog Joyous Health    Check out Joy’s bestselling cookbooks   Follow Joyous Health on Instagram   Find Joyous Health on Facebook   Learn more about The Joyous Health Business Program    Check out our full line of Natural & Organic Haircare and Body Care.   Join Joy’s Hair Care Challenge at Natural Hair Care Challenge   Explore Joyous Health Kids at Joyous Health Kids
