This week on the podcast I am joined on the podcast by Kelly Smith. Kelly is an E-RYT 500 / YACEP yoga and meditation teacher, founder of Yoga For You, and host of the iTunes chart-topping podcasts, Mindful in Minutes and Meditation Mama. Kelly is also mom to a beautiful little boy, and in this episode, we are discussing all things motherhood and maternity leave! As a yoga teacher and solopreneur, it can be hard to navigate planning for a maternity leave so I picked Kelly's brain on how she planned her time off, how long she took off, what the transition coming back to work was like, and much more.
