What if you could choose the sex of your baby? There are many existing sex-selection methods out there, but parents have come to find out that these methods are confusing and unreliable. Kathryn Taylor introduces a natural sex-selection approach known as *The Babydust Method,* which is based on the latest scientific evidence. This book details the science behind the method, and explains how you can dramatically increase your chances of conceiving the sex of your choice. This book reveals the flaws in the Shettles method, O+12, egg polarity, pH, and acidic/alkaline/ion diets, and offers a brand new approach involving a combination of precise timing and frequency that has been proven to work based on several published clinical studies. https://www.instagram.com/thebabydustmethod/ Buy The Babydust Method Book https://amzn.to/3J9ZyuF e: Elizabeth@ElizabethJoy.co w: www.ElizabethJoy.co fb: https://www.facebook.com/groups/311455916387591/?ref=bookmarks in: https://www.instagram.com/esandoz/ This podcast is sponsore

Lindsay Stuart is a mom of three, entrepreneur, and founder of the postpartum apparel brand Mamalux.  Lindsay has a great story about how motherhood gave her the courage to venture into the unknown – and how she went from hiding and apologizing for being a working mother to bringing it into the light. Lindsay developed Mamalux after having her second child – when she got sick and tired of wearing bras to bed because she was breastfeeding. Launching into a business she knew nothing about, Lindsay figured out design, manufacturing and even patenting her product  – eventually funding a kickstarter.  https://wearmamalux.com/ https://www.instagram.com/wearmamalux/ Learn about the meaning of Chava https://www.chabad.org/multimedia/video_cdo/aid/3506698/jewish/Inside-the-Name-Chava.htm Connect with Liz: https://www.instagram.com/esandoz/?hl=en https://miraculousmamas.com/blog
