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. Your message just might be what they needed to receive today.    And If you’d like some support on your healing or pregnancy journey, here are ways I can help: 1.

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 [email protected] to let me know.      And If you’d like some support on your healing or pregnancy journey, here are ways I can help: 1.

I’ve shared in previous episodes that my experience with my angel baby, Mateo, was so massively impactful that I could never capture our story in one single episode. Well, this one got pretty close!

Acupuncture is one of the healing modalities that support fertility and a healthy pregnancy. In this episode, I chat with Acupuncturist and owner of Sano Acupuncture, Joannie Campuzano-Cepeda, about why acupuncture is beneficial, what happens in a session, and how it can support overall health.    Here’s more about Joannie and how to get in touch with her:    Joannie’s Bio: Joannie Campuzano is an acupuncturist, herbalist, and wellness coach specializing in the treatment of fertility, mood disorders, and pain.

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.

I share a lot about the limitations of our conventional healthcare model. And so, what an absolute pleasure it was to sit and chat with Naturopathic Physician, Dr. Monique Mazza, and learn more about what our care should actually entail.  In this episode, we discuss: What Naturopathic Medicine is and how it’s different from Allopathic Medicine (or what I refer to as the “conventional medicine” in the episode) What might be happening in the body that could lead to infertility or loss What testing you should ensure you’re having done to get to the root cause of those imbalances And more! Dr Mazza’s Bio: Dr. Mazza is a licensed Naturopathic physician with over 15 years of clinical experience. She began her medical career as an emergency medical technician for a volunteer fire department in New York. In addition to her education as a naturopathic primary care physician, Dr. Mazza has additional certifications in intravenous nutrient therapy, German biological medicine and biodynamic farming. Her current passion surrounds growing food as medicine at her home in Earthaven Ecovillage.

Going through loss or infertility is difficult on its own. And having a history of sexual trauma adds even more layers of triggers and emotions to work through. Because these triggers and emotions intensify during pregnancy and childbirth, I want you to be aware of them. When they’re no longer operating in the background, you get to take your power back!    In this episode, I walk you through: What triggers and emotions may show up in pregnancy, while you’re giving birth, and in hospital settings in general  What you can do to overcome triggers/heavy emotions and feel safer within your body Forms of support you can enlist to increase the chances of your birth being a healing experience (vs a retraumatizing one)   **Please share this episode with someone who you think might benefit from it.

This 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!    Here’s how to learn more about Marisa and her work: Visit Marisa’s Website: marisasullivanhealing.com Connect with her on IG: @marisasullivan1  Reach out via Email: [email protected]  Check out her upcoming Sexual Empowerment Course   Marisa's Bio: Marisa Sullivan is a Modern Day Mystic, a Dance Mom Tantrika, a Pleasure Witch.  She teaches Women and Couples Sexual Empowerment, Sacred Sexuality, How to maximize the magic and medicine of sexual juiciness, how to be authentic in our sexual expression, inhabiting our yes and no and, understanding the power of pleasure.  She shares her awe and respect of the wisdom of our anatomy, especially the female genital and pelvic bowl anatomy and their entwinement.  She helps women balance their menstrual cycles, harness their fertility, birth, mother, partner, build communities, vision and create their lives.  She is a mind/body/life journey healer using yoga, Breath, meditation, Reiki, ritual, Yoni steaming, joy, laughter, Breathwork, creative play and sexual education.

I believe that we are spiritual beings expressed in physical bodies. It means that even after our babies have made their transition out of their physical bodies, they still exist in spirit.    A few months ago, I did a podcast episode reading excerpts from “Memories of Heaven” by Dr. Wayne Dyer (Ep 24). The book features stories from parents whose little ones had memories of being in heaven before they came here on Earth, including children who had made their transition prior due to a pregnancy loss, abortion, etc. I know, it’s wild! But there were too many accounts from parents all over the world to deny that babies are also spiritual beings who aren't limited by a physical death. And even after they make their transition, our connection with them remains.    In this episode, I share some of the beautiful and magical experiences I’ve had with my little ones. I hope this encourages you to keep the connection open with your baby and still feel their love through the many ways they might send you reminders that they’re still here.    With lots of love,  Natalee And here are some ways to get additional support while you’re on your journey: Get on the Birth Warrior Mailing List to receive inspiration and resources for your emotional healing.
