Ep 57: Four-Year Follow-Up with Donette Subron (Pregnancies, Losses, Motherhood & The Stories In-Between)
Donette first joined us for an interview in 2020 (). Today, she’s sharing how her journey has unfolded over the past four years. This includes three pregnancies (including being pregnant with twins) and curveball after curveball with unexpected losses, medical support, invasive procedures, the birth of a preemie, and life in the NICU. I marvel at what it sometimes takes to bring these precious little ones into the world. 💖 It was inspiring to hear the layers of support Donette called on during her journey, how the last few years have shaped her, and ways that she practiced self-advocacy when working with her medical team. She shared that a previous episode I did with Tia DeShazor on emboldened her to speak up to have her needs met. Yess! May we continue to be a source of fire and encouragement for each other! .

Ep 56: The Stories These Scars Hold

Ep 56: The Stories These Scars Hold
We're taught to erase our scars, that they get in the way of our beauty and perfection. What's been coming up for me that led to this episode is the wisdom that scars are the physical manifestation of the lives we've lived. They are a part of the stories our bodies hold. They can be evidence of both our pain and growth. I wonder if as souls we ever held the intention to not go through pain. Or was the intention to have the storied life we're now experiencing that has the potential to lead to deep levels of growth? What are the stories we get to tell? What are the stories that our scars now tell? This is a "free-flow" episode, creating room for the thoughts and insights that have been emerging. I hope you find it inspiring or expansive 💖.

Ep 55: We're Here to Birth Many Things!
Our bodies are portals for creation. We have the ability to birth many, many expressions of life. But when our mainstream culture tells us that our worthiness is tied into birthing children, it creates a disconnection within ourselves if we accept that lie.

The podcast is changing, beloved. In beautiful ways though. I've been feeling called to expandind into other topics that speak to the whole of us...or the very least, more of us.

Ep 53: You Don't Have to Smile
You don't have to smile. You don't. I've been sitting with what it would be like to have a world where we can each show up with all the emotions that are present with us—showing up with the grief, the regret, the fear, the frustration—without feeling the need to "fix" yourself or those emotions before being in the room again. This episode explores the cultural patterns that train us into smiling for the camera even when we don't feel like it and dreams up a new way of being with the emotions that are authentic in each moment.

Ep 51: No Version of Motherhood is Perfect
Today’s episode is about permission and grace. If you’re a mom/parent to angel babies, I encourage you to really give yourself the permission to do whatever supports your energy around this time. I also share how I respond when I’m asked if I’m a mother. And if you’re currently parenting or caretaking kiddos who are physically here, I shed light on the lie that we need to strive to be perfect mothers or parents. Perfection doesn’t exist. It doesn’t. Being able to surrender to the messiness, the madness, the beauty, the creativity, the unpredictability…of life and parenting offers a kind of liberation that ends up being resourcing our body and being, instead of depleting.

Ep 50: Being Gentle With Yourself
Today’s episode is a prayer, an invitation to soften, to be gentle with yourself. There’s sometimes the belief–even if unconscious–that softening might transform someone into becoming weak or diminish their ability to be resilient. I’ve observed and experienced the opposite: that it’s ignoring the body’s invitation to soften that eventually leads to shut down and disconnection. The softening, the exhale…creates the opening.

Ep 49: The Imperfect Healing Journey
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 beauty to unfold. In this episode, I share about: The ways in which our society creates “models” for who or what we should be How those models impact our healing journey The liberation that becomes possible through being present with your own journey Accessing the unique wisdom that wants to emerge through you ----- More About Me: I’m a Resilience Coach, Embodiment Healing Guide, Angel Mama, and Birth Doula.

Ep 47: The Dangers of the Spiritual Bypass
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.

Ep 43: Healing Relationships with Compassionate Communication

Ep 43: Healing Relationships with Compassionate Communication
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 benefit you and your relationships. We discuss: What Compassionate Communication or NVC is and some of its many benefits What violence looks like in conversations (it’s not just physical!) How the “Dominator Culture” we’re socialized in shows up in our self-talk and relationships Why men will likely grieve differently from women The patterns/imbalances that may become prevalent in relationships between men and women How Compassionate Communication can help create inner peace, as well as bring empathy and healing to relationships Steve Torma’s Bio: Steve (he/him) was born and raised on a family farm in Ashtabula, Ohio, and is a 25-year member of Earthaven Ecovillage. His ancestors are Hungarian and French Canadian. Steve co-founded an intentional community in Ohio in 1980, where he lived until joining Earthaven Ecovillage in 1996. At Earthaven, he co-founded a thriving neighborhood, was president for three years, and has taught Nonviolent Communication for twelve years. In addition to his passion for community, Steve co-managed a natural foods co-op for 10 years, ran his own traveling bookstore business for over 20 years, and now teaches Nonviolent Communication and other relationship and community building skills through The REAL Center, which he co-founded in 2009. As a lifelong peace, justice, and ecology educator and activist with over 40 years of community living, Steve has sought to integrate personal and social transformation in his own life, in the communities where he lives, and in the larger society. His passion for integral living and thinking has led him to study and experiment with a wide range of spiritualities, psychological systems, and social theories as they relate to creating a more just and sustainable world. Steve has taught Nonviolent Communication for a variety of intentional communities, organizations, and regional gatherings, including Celo Community, The Mountain Retreat Center, Firefly Gathering, Southeast Permaculture Gathering, Organic Growers School, Kinnection Campout, LovEvolution Gathering, Compassion Camp, and many others.

Ep 41: Birth Story - Birthing in Community with Tia DeShazor

Ep 41: Birth Story - Birthing in Community with Tia DeShazor
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 safe enough, held enough so that they can surrender to the process. The magic that unfolded in Tia’s birth is typically reserved for fantasies. But it was real and it came after a fair amount of self-advocacy and intentionality. I also want to acknowledge that when you’ve gone through a loss or fertility challenges, it may feel safer to go with the hospital care we’ve learned to accept as the norm. But if you’ve been finding that unsatisfactory, I hope Tia’s story will spark ideas for the alternatives you have access to regardless of who you choose to be on your birthing team and where you choose to birth. ------ Tia and I discuss: - Challenges she experienced receiving care within the hospital model - The ways she advocated for herself amidst push-back - Choosing a midwife and homebirth - Feeling supported by “prayers, friends, and angels” as she welcomed her baby earth-side Links & Resources We Reference: - Bronx (Re)Birth & Progress: - Midwife Nubia-Earth Martin: - Birth Doula, Jazzmin Brown: Tia’s Bio: Tia DeShazor works in the performing arts as an actor, writer of musicals, and career coach for artists.

Ep 37: Why Self-Love Is So Hard
Self-love is hard for most people. It isn’t a practice that’s encouraged in our culture. Instead, we’re continually fed messaging about what’s wrong with us and what we need to change to reach a certain standard. Now, when you’ve gone through a loss or infertility diagnosis, self-love feels even more out of reach. And yet, it is THE single most important pathway to our healing and liberation. This episode explores the ways in which we’ve been taught to disconnect ourselves from our own love, how this pattern shows up in different areas of our lives, including intimate relationships, and how to reclaim our connection with ourselves as a source of love and self-compassion. **If today’s episode resonates with you, please share it with someone else you think might benefit from it.

Ep 36: A New Look at the New Year
Welcome to 2022, beloved. How are you arriving? Is it with excitement? Some anxiety? With rules about what you need to do to make this the best year yet? We tend to feel that entering the New Year is like entering a magical portal where everything needs to now be new, better, and different. But growth and healing don’t operate that way. They move with a rhythm and cycle that may be different from the flip of a calendar from December to January. Knowing this removes the unnecessary pressure that impacts your well-being. In this episode, I’ll help you to: Unpack some of complex emotions that show up at the end of the year and the beginning of another Understand how these emotions impact your goals for the new year and overall well-being And explore practices that may better support your own rhythm so that you can walk this earth with a greater sense of freedom, ease, and grace **If this episode resonates with you, drop me a line at to let me know.

Ep 33: Why People Don't Heal
Through working with clients for the past several years, and through doing my own healing work for even longer, this is one of the observations I’ve made: We sometimes get in the way of our own healing. It isn’t that we decide that we won’t heal. It’s that we unconsciously choose to stay where we are in the pain. It sounds irrational, but the reason behind it merits compassion. The greatest gift I can offer you is the gift of your freedom. And I do so through making you aware of what influences you in the background, so that you liberate yourself to make conscious decisions instead. In this episode, I share: What happens in the emotional body / subconscious that leads people to block or self-sabotage their own healing, so that even when we say we want something, our actions don’t support our words Ways that healing can be less daunting An upcoming group course that will support you in deepening your healing for the next few months with other Birth Warriors If you’re ready to step into your healing, here are ways in which I can support you: 1.
