As of May 2026, there has been more awareness about the increase of MMR. The SOGC has come out in June of 2026 saying that MMR has been increasing for 30 yrs. Why the silence for 30 yrs? There is a committee being formed now: https://sogc.org/en/en/content/events/HUB-Pages/Prevention_of_Maternal_Mortality_in_Canada.aspx Looking at data is bringing awareness to the cause in increased mortality. htt...

When French journalist France Pierron called birth "a disgusting moment where the dad is completely useless," she sparked a conversation that goes far deeper than she could have imagined. In this episode of From The Heart, Lyanne reflects on what that comment really reveals — not just about one woman's opinion, but about the shame so many of us have inherited and what we deserve. Wit...

After re-listening to Sara's birth stories and how Sara delivered fast and unattended with her second baby, I looked up online what was posted for clients to see and review about this topic. I wasn't thrilled with the info. So here is the info that I consider important. Here are some videos of unattended births:https://www.instagram.com/p/DXTuvCFJRqX/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXEZ6g...

Today I have my naturopath Erin Kasparek who is here to talk about preventing tick bites and tick borne infections. The conventional medicine system does not usually know much about lymes disease (including myself when I was practicing). Erin breaks down what we know today about preventing tick bites and tick borne infections. We speak of:What is Lyme or tick borne illnessWhat symptoms to look out...

Today’s conversation is an important one. I’m joined by Christopher Balkaran, someone who isn’t afraid to go deep into topics that often get overlooked—or oversimplified. Christopher is objective, factual, and brings much-needed nuance to complex issues. At a time when so much attention is focused on immigration enforcement in the U.S., particularly around ICE, we turn our lens to what’s happening...

I explain the evidence that I see on the management (recommendations) we provide for clients that have a marginal cord insertion.

I am thrilled to have Chandra on the pod again! Chandra's first birth was marked with difficult steps and unknowns. Considering today's culture of birth, viewed with lots of fear and urgency, I approached Chandra to ask her how she processed her birth story. What prepped her while she was pregnant? What she did during and after to help herself process? What advice does she have for women p...

In this episode, I interview Dr. Betsy Greenleaf, who—like me—made a career pivot after realizing that the recommendations we were expected to make no longer felt ethical.

I've attended births of surrogates. And I've heard alot of controversy about surrogacy as well. I wanted to interview Chandra about her process in choosing to be a surrogate. In all things lives duality and it is important that we have a dialogue about how surrogacy looks everywhere in the world. What can a healthy and ethical surrogacy look like? Chandra followed her joy in this process a...

I'm really excited for this episode to come out. I have Remi Doucet, national champion in pistol shooting, hunter and fire arm enthusiast and my friend.

Who uses guns? We share a border with who? What is the f...

Sara is such a great example of a mother who makes her decisions intuitively. And so I wanted to ask her questions about how she makes decisions for the health and wellbeing of her children and family as a whole. She is also a great expander on being at peace with decisions that may be perceived as controversial. I hope that you enjoy this episode! You can find Sara on instagram @sjrrambo You can...

The studies on the effects of alcohol are interesting and complex.

After surrounding myself with pregnant women, I've re-re-realised that our culture needs to come back to reality when it comes to birth. So I asked Amy to share her process of how she prepared for birth and motherhood. She got pregnant at the age of 38 and throughout her pregnancy made choices that enabled her to learn and choose what was right for her. She also shares what she would do differ...
