    Understanding the 1st Trimester
    May 27 2024
    A reflection of my most recent 1st trimester, now that I'm "half way" through my current pregnancy! We've all been told that certain symptoms whether they're physical or emotional are just par for the course, but if we look closer, what are these symptoms actually telling us?

  • Birth Trauma At Home: It DOES exist!

    Birth Trauma At Home: It DOES exist!
    Feb 3 2024
    If I've said it once I've said it (and will keep saying it) a thousand times: BIRTH IS AS SAFE AS BIRTH CAN BE. And majority of the time, it goes off without a hitch! But what about those of us with different stories? What about those of us who are the rare exceptions? We who's experiences are denied in order to try and save face within the birth community? Let's be REAL about birth: TRAUMA CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE! And we aren't doing this sister wound any favors by silencing, shaming and blaming those of us who do experience birth trauma at home. Thoughts on this and the birth story of our son, Dexten <3

  • Auld Lang Syne

    Auld Lang Syne
    Jan 1 2024
    A brief reflection of 2023 and discussion of what I am bringing and calling into the new year. In this episode I share some raw truth about what Motherhood has looked like for me over the years. 19 year old me, unprepared for the true duties and responsibilities of parenthood, certainly made her fair share of mistakes. But the person I am today is here to own those mistakes, hold myself accountable for them and offer my children the tools needed to end the perpetual trauma handed down through our lineage. Featuring a hidden bonus track LOL remember those?? Let's say goodbye to what no longer serves us and hello to continued health, happiness, peace and FUNCTIONAL PARENTING in the new year!

Featuring a bedtime tantrum as only my daughter can deliver and I'm grateful for all of it :)

  • The Big "O"

    The Big "O"
    Nov 27 2023

    The big "O" that no one ever wants to talk about- OBLIGATION. In this episode I discuss three big issues- obligation, responsibility and ownership. How they apply to birth work as well as the overall birth experience, explore why we seem so reluctant to apply them to ourselves and how to move past this false and often misplaced sense of responsibility for that which is out of our control. You can find the link to Maryn Green's podcast "When The Midwife Is Blamed" below and I sincerely hope you give it a listen <3

  • Her Cries on Deaf Ears

    Her Cries on Deaf Ears
    Nov 20 2023
    Sometimes they don't hear you because of who/what they think you are, sometimes- they just don't listen. This episode looks at some of the ways women are not heard through out their childbearing experiences and exposes the importance of self education and discovering your OWN power, instead of relinquishing it to a care provider. An emotional reflection of my first two pregnancies and births. Inspired by an IG reel by Flor @Badassmotherbirther.

How many ultrasounds does a women actually get during pregnancy and what effects could the assumption of its safety have on you and your baby?
