This episode is about getting to know our bodies so we can connect more authentically in relationship and community.

| Mothering Was Never Meant to Be in Isolation: Postpartum Depression and Rage Ep 111 | 13 Jan 2025 | 00:47:19 | |
Welcome to this episode, dedicated to the postpartum phase, where we hold space for the mother's experience following birth. This is a time following her rite of passage, when she returns, embodying her new experience. As with any rite of passage, this moment is not just for the mother and child, but for the community and the collective as well. I am honored to have Beatriz, a postpartum and birth doula joining us today. Together, we raise awareness on how to recognize when things are not okay and how we can notice these signs, whether you are a mother feeling confused about what is happening or a family member/support person. There are many expressions of imbalance—physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual—and all of these expressions are valid and welcome. The main thing is that something needs holding. We begin with the most fundamental needs: you are not broken; your needs are simply not being met. As we journey through this conversation, we also explore the needs of the immediate family, with a reminder that they too require support. Thank you for joining us today. Sending love to the mothers, past, present, and future, and to the families and children coming through. We are planting the seeds to reclaim our innate nature and reconnect more deeply with ourselves and one another.

| How Myofascial Release Supports Physical and Emotional Healing + Release with Lindsay Courcelle: Ep 104 | 21 Oct 2024 | 00:50:34 | |
Today we sit down with Myofascial Release Therapist Lindsay Courcelle to uncover the secret power hidden within our bodies. Did you know that your fascia—a vast network of connective tissue—holds the key to releasing years of stored tension, trauma, and emotional pain? Lindsay shares her deep wisdom on how Myofascial Release can help mothers heal from the inside out. Get ready to discover how trauma and emotions are stored in your fascia and learn practical, easy-to-follow techniques to release that tension at home. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, physically drained, or disconnected, this episode offers tangible steps to reclaim your body, find your flow, and nurture yourself in motherhood. *Correction: Lindsay misspoke when she mentioned the research on breast cancer cells. Research at UC Berkeley has shown that cancerous cells can revert back to normal healthy cells through manual pressure (in a laboratory setting), not through Myofascial Release specifically.

| From Home Birth to Hospital Transfer: My Costa Rican Birth Story - Episode 76 | 16 Jan 2024 | 00:56:33 | |
Danielle warmly welcomes Nina as a guest host to hold space for her own birth story. Leaving her home in France after a surprising pregnancy with her partner of just six months, Danielle embarked on a transformative journey to Costa Rica for a home birth. Despite her initial reservations about home birth, Danielle, who was holistically trained, had an awakening after watching the documentary "The Business of Being Born" with Ricki Lake. This pivotal moment led her to delve into the world of home birth and undisturbed childbirth. As Danielle recounts her experience, she opens up about the challenges she faced during her 28-hour labor without the presence of a midwife or doula. Overwhelmed by fear, she ultimately sought medical support. She goes on to share the trauma she endured during the birth, including the intrusive hands of doctors, the loss of control and voice in the birthing room, and the heart-wrenching separation from her partner. In Danielle's postpartum journey, she shares of the loneliness she felt without a supportive tribe. The lack of connection during this vulnerable period prompted Danielle to create this podcast, as she realized the importance of sharing stories, creating awareness, and building a community for those navigating the complexities of childbirth and postpartum. Join Danielle and Nina in this emotionally charged episode as they explore the highs, lows, and transformative moments that shaped Danielle's journey from fear to empowerment.
