Almost HALF of all women experience birth trauma.
Today, I chat with Audrey Ross of A Joyful Birth about why this might be. Why is it so hard to trust our bodies when it comes to birth? Why are we as a society so scared of birth? How do we break free from the fear and step back into our innate womanly power?
Audrey is a birthkeeper, educator of physiologic birth, and a mother. She went from a breech hospital birth with her first, to a homebirth with licensed midwives with her second baby, to a freebirth, and now she's currently journeying through a wild pregnancy (no medical intervention, no scans, etc.) and planning her second freebirth!
Together we dive into:
Why the hospital might NOT be the safest place to give birth (failure to progress, anyone?!) Pros and cons of homebirth with midwives How to protect yourself and your space in pregnancy and birth Audrey's choice of wild pregnancy and freebirth How to build trust in your body's ability to birth a healthy baby-------------------------

āA crunchy mom is someone who doesnāt just accept the status quo. She willingly does her own research for pregnancy and birth, breastfeeding and baby wearing, vaccines and solid foods. She makes informed choices and pursues a more natural way of living. She cares deeply about giving her children the best life possible and also making sure sheās leaving the best world she possibly can for her grandchildren.
Crunchy moms support ALL moms, even if their opinions differ. They believe in encouraging EVERY mom and they understand that each mom has different needs and different beliefs.ā
Press play and letās dig into what it actually means to be a crunchy mom, plus a few tips and resources from my own experience walking this path.

Tricia, through social media, gave everyone a front row seat to her devastating heartbreak earlier this year. But then we also got to see her healing journey that led to her manifesting new career opportunities, meaningful relationships, money, health, and more.
In todayās chat, we dig into exactly how she cultivated such a beautiful glow up, including somatic practices, emotional release, nervous system regulation, and other healing tools. I feel that Tricia's journey is such an important one to highlight because her healing path was so drastically different from what we see in culture, which usually emphasizes emotional eating, partying, rebound dating, revenge, etc. as the way to "move on."
Follow Tricia on Instagram and check out her offerings.

Then we take it from the kitchen into Leshaās area of expertise - tongue and lip ties. Youāll hear her theories on why these are so common today and how you can avoid a painful revision for your little one, plus tips on how to build your own village of support as a new mom.

Jeff is an integrationist with many years of experience in the psychedelic wellness space and is an expert on 5-MeO-DMT and the Bufo alvarius toad. Iāve had the pleasure of working with Jeff several times, including when we sat together with Ayahuasca in the jungles of Peru!

WHY is it so hard for me to trust my own intuition?
Weāll grapple with this question today and Iāll share some tips to help you overthink less and trust yourself more.

In this episode, Iām taking you on an adventure through all of my kidney woes during pregnancy. This is the resource I wish I would have had when I first was diagnosed with severe hydronephrosis in the ER at 17 weeks pregnant. Iām sharing what I went through to hopefully help someone else on their journey.
Weāll cover my diagnosis, the three procedures that followed, nephrostomy tube vs ureteral stent pros and cons based on my experience having both, and my eventual kidney surgery (pyeloplasty) at 22 weeks pregnant.
I hope this helps you if youāre going through something similar. Stay strong mama! You WILL make it to the other side!

What if life throws you a curveball instead of delivering the pretty, perfect image from your vision board?
What do you do? How do you continue to trust, learn, and grow when faced with an unexpected challenge or a manifestation that doesn't work out?
These are questions I've been grappling with recently as my pregnancy has most definitely NOT been going according to the plans I had made in my head. Today on the podcast, I'll share how I've been using my own unexpected challenges as an opportunity to wake up and build a sense of self - and happiness - that is pure and independent.
