Ep 49: The Imperfect Healing Journey
Preparing For Pregnancy After Loss
I used to think that my healing journey needed to look a certain way and have a definite outcome. That eventually--no matter how long it took--I needed to rise out of the ashes like a phoenix then tell the world about it. Sitting with the realness of my unpredictable, and sometimes messy healing journey has taught me that there is no model for what healing should look like. You are an original. Your journey will be a unique one. And by releasing the expectations around who you ought to become and by when that needs to happen, perhaps that creates room for some unexpected, imperfect...

Ep 48: Suffering In Silence
Preparing For Pregnancy After Loss

In this episode, I share: When silence and solitude are in service of our healing and When silence and solitude can lead to our decline Some simple tips for bringing "movement" and release to your body and being\ And here are the Grief playlists I referenced: ----- More...

Ep 47: The Dangers of the Spiritual Bypass
Preparing For Pregnancy After Loss
The "Spiritual Bypass" is often intended to be a reminder that we're spiritual beings having a human experience. It can also be used to dismiss or diminish our very real human experiences, which leads to us holding on to hurt instead of processing and releasing it. In this episode, I share: How the Spiritual Bypass showed up in my experience How it can be harmful if it's showing up in yours Why healing also needs to occur through the body And exploring a sense of purpose after a loss ----- More About Me: I’m a Resilience Coach, Embodiment Healing Guide, Angel...

Ep 43: Healing Relationships with Compassionate Communication
Preparing For Pregnancy After Loss
I consider myself a life-long learner, so it means a lot when I say that Compassionate Communication or Nonviolent Communication (NVC) has been one of the single most important practices I’ve learned. As my teacher, Steve Torma, puts it, Compassionate Communication isn’t just a tool for communication but a shift in consciousness. I’ve referred Compassionate Communication to clients of mine because it becomes a game-changer for ANY conversation or relationship. And today, we have the pleasure of hearing Steve Torma share more about Compassionate Communication and how it can...

Ep 41: Birth Story - Birthing in Community with Tia DeShazor
Preparing For Pregnancy After Loss
I had the pleasure of working with Tia during her pregnancy as her “space-holder,” resource-connector, co-strategist, and emotional healing guide. I’ve been excited to share our follow-up conversation because Tia’s story is such a powerful example of what’s possible when pregnancy and birth are supported by community—family, friends, and professionals who are equally competent as they are caring. It’s a model that doesn’t simply center the pregnant / birthing person, but also makes them the director of their experience, and at the same time, allows them to feel...
info_outlineThis week’s episode with Pleasure Activist, Marisa Sullivan, is now one of my favorites!
We discussed how absolutely magical the body’s anatomy is and the many ways in which it was built for pleasure. We also explored how trauma can inhibit pleasure and conception, and practices Marisa uses to help her clients reclaim both.
This episode also introduces the Wheel of Consent, a tool which can support you in feeling more empowered in your body, relationship, and birthing experience. And last, but certainly not least, we discussed an ancient healing tool that can support you in both healing sexual trauma and successfully conceiving.
Not an episode you’ll want to miss!
