Spotlight, Love & Covid at 36 Weeks Pregnant - Vanessa Creaven

In this episode host Sinéad O'Moore talks to Dr. Vanessa Creaven who pre pandemic was living a fast paced international, business building life with the success of Spotlight, the oral care brand she started with her sister Lisa. Motherhood was always on the agenda but didn’t seem possible right now. Until the pandemic grounded her like all of us.  But that wasn't the last of the twists and turns of pregnancy.High blood pressure impacted her health and then came a covid positive test result at 36 weeks pregnant. With only weeks to go until the birth of her first baby, Vanessa felt isolated, vulnerable and at the time grateful to be unaware of the risks covid during pregnancy can have on your unborn baby. What could have been an incredibly stressful event thought Vanessa so much about motherhood and how her body needed her to be kind to it. How her mind needed to stay in touch with her business. And how her baby would be the saving Grace of an incredible year. We talk birth, business and the transformation we make as women.If you enjoyed this conversation subscribe, rate or leave a review.
