Episode #41: Solo Catch: Weaning, traveling, current habits, cyclical living, food as a pathway to higher healing and more

Food is the foundation of physical health for me, but it’s also a pathway to a much higher, deeper type of healing. I need to take care of the physical to even get to the emotional/mental/spiritual/relational healing. I’ve been on a journey recently with going a lot deeper in these other areas of my health and wellbeing. In this episode, I’m catching you up with where I’m at in my own personal health journey (and life!) talking about everything from:

• Taking care of my health while traveling
• Weaning my baby
• Living cyclically + how I’m learning to lean into my luteal phase
• Where I’m at in my personal fertility journey
• How I’m filling my cup mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally
• + so much more

What do you think of when you hear the word labor? If you’re anything like me, your first associations are probably horrible  scenes out of a movie with women screaming in pain. If you have scary associations with labor, it makes sense! That’s all that most of us have heard. But what if it isn’t necessarily true?

In this special solo episode, I share my two birth stories, which were the most beautiful, empowering, embodied experiences of my life! 

Listen in to hear me share:

• Why my deep fear of needles pushed me to look into natural births
• How conventional birth practices in the west have put doctors before mothers
• Why feeling safe and empowered during birth can speed up labor and prevent complications
• The resources that best supported me in having a natural, unmedicated birth
• Both of my labor stories (and how my son was born in less than 2 hours)
• How my birth stories helped me heal the distrust I developed with my body through infertility
• And so much more!
