This is the first episode I’ve recorded in the new house... and it feels pretty surreal. It’s a truly interesting moment of time in my journey, so I’m glad that I can take a few minutes to sit in the moment and share that with all of you. : ) I also want to take this opportunity to start a conversation about some of the things that are bubbling up in our communities. Because I know that if I’m fee...

Today, I want to check in and reflect on the last couple of months. We went through two eclipses and Mercury in retrograde... and it’s been intense, to say the least!

Christen Delaney is an LA-based jewelry designer, tea goddess, and soon-to-be mother of two – and I have the wonderful opportunity to be her Postpartum Doula this September! She’s an awesome woman, a fantastic mom, and I am so inspired by her work + the creativity that she shares with the world every day.

Erin Erenberg is the founder of Totum Women, a company created to serve women as they enter motherhood, whether for the first or fourteenth time. They offer lactation cookies for new mothers, but Totum is so much more than that – it is a community that new mothers can come to for the support and resources they need in the postpartum period. We all deserve to love our postpartum, and I love that th...

After 20 years of traveling and studying with respected teachers and nearly a decade in the role of teacher, Jana Roemer settled down in CA to share what she learned about yoga, astrology, and birth with the lovely people of Venice. She is a Midwife of Awakening, guiding people to find answers through their inner voice – ironically, by falling asleep (sorta). One of the practices that Jana teaches...

I had the honor of sitting down with Amber L'Estrange and Jenna Pennrose the dynamic duo behind The Mother Loving Future, an incredible podcast about life at the intersection of conscious living and parenting. We talk all about the journey from one kid to two, the realities of life as a mother just trying to find any semblance of balance, creating conscious partnerships, and reflect on our pos...

Rev. Olivia Bareham has been a powerful inspiration and guiding force in my life and in my relationship with death – something that is often difficult for us to talk about or even think about, but something that is also necessary to talk about when you’re discussing life. That is why Olivia – who is a certified Death Midwife, Home Funeral Guide, and Celebrant – founded Sacred Crossings with the vi...

Kelli Tennant is like my second podcast mom. She pushed me, inspired me, and pointed me in the right direction so that I could share my message with all of you beautiful people! Kelli is also the host of her own podcast, (https://kellitennant.com/category/podcast/) , and a big believer in the power of podcasts to change people’s lives. I also know you will love Kelli, too, because she is an advoca...

Ivy Joeva is a certified holistic health counselor, registered yoga therapist, DONA-certified birth and postpartum doula, and Khalsa Way prenatal yoga instructor – which all adds up to being a mother’s personal consultant for birth and beyond! Ivy firmly believes “EVERY birth is a good birth,” and that’s why she’s so passionate about encouraging moms to find their own voice and values, armed with...

Lara Elliott, M.S. LAc is the incredible, inspiring woman who taught me reiki, and she’s really become a dear friend over the years. I have so much respect for the way that she works and how she has studied so many different modalities: craniosacral therapy, Reiki, acupuncture, chinese medicine, and Zen Buddhism to name a few. But before she transitioned into the healing arts, Lara was in the fash...

Last week, I shared all my big feelings about leaving town for nine days without my babies – and, today, I want to share what I learned about myself and my relationship from our couple’s retreat!

Kimberly Ann Johnson is a dear friend and colleague, and she has been an expander and inspiration for me ever since inviting me to be on her podcast! I joined her just four days before I gave birth to Goldy Wolf, and I was in the “birth zone” so I loved sharing what it was like to be in that portal and what my hopes and dreams were for my birth (spoiler: they came true!). That was my first ever po...

Our society likes to talk about the hard things in life after they’ve already happened; we like to wait until we’ve already gone through the healing process and found some closure. But I don’t. I like to talk about things while I’m going through them, and I like to listen to people while they’re going through their own stuff. Especially in this space, I think it’s really important to know how peop...

I am absolutely over the moon to share today’s guest with all of you. Dr. Jo Taisuke is an amazing person, healer, and bodyworker who has been a key player in my postpartum healing. My whole family goes to see Dr. Jo, and we really appreciate his holistic perspective on health; he views the person as an interconnected system of mind, body, and spirit, in which each part of the system is an equal p...

Content warning: I discuss physical and sexual abuse in this episode. Today I want to start a conversation about your relationships, partnerships, and marriages after having a baby. This is a massive topic and I’m sure we’ll talk about it again on the show, but a lot of people have been coming to me with questions about partnership so I think it’s pertinent that we start the discussion today. To l...

Many moms and moms-to-be aren’t aware of Postpartum Psychosis, and it certainly wasn’t something our guest ever thought possible when she got pregnant. And although it isn’t very common – it affects about 1 in 1000 new moms – it’s something that women should be aware of and talking about. So, in today’s episode, Lisa Abramson shares her journey of giving birth, coming to terms with her psychosis,...

What do you feel you are worth? Women’s worth is a massive topic, and it’s something I feel like I’m always discussing with my mom friends, my single friends, my colleagues, and my mentors – so, pretty much every woman in my life! It’s definitely a societal question that’s being asked right now, as women are standing up for themselves like they never have before. But this is also a very confusing...

This interview is a total dream moment manifested. Wah! recently came to my house in LA, met my family (we’re all huge fans), and sat down with me to share her journey of living her dharma, sharing her music, and mantras for healing. I emailed Wah! out of the blue last Fall on what I thought would be a total shot in the dark, but she met my question with a big, “Yes!” I am eternally grateful to Wa...

Self-care is a bit of a buzzword these days, and a lot of us are trying to prioritize implementing self-care into our daily lives – but it can (ironically) be a little stressful figuring out where and when to start, especially as moms and moms-to-be! So today, we’re going to think about what “self-care” means to each of us, in this moment and at this particular point on our journey of motherhood,...

Danielle Beinstein is a great friend and an extremely grounded psychological astrologer. So, if this is a world you know nothing about, if it’s something you’ve been interested in dipping your toe into, or even if it seems a little too woo-woo for you, I urge you to listen with an open mind because she is a beautiful entré into the world of psychological astrology. To learn more, and for the compl...

Birth stories are a fascinating portal into who we are as women and how we bring our babies earthside... and it’s just so incredible how we all do it so differently! So, today, I want to share my birth stories. I think it’s important that I share these experiences because they are really what led me into this work, and they still guide me today. I had to go through a lot of pain and suffering to g...

Today, I am so honored to be able to share one of the most positive women that I know (I swear she is sprinkled with fairy dust): Lori Bregman, a renowned doula, life coach, healer, and the author of both The Mindful Mom to Be and Mamaste: Discover a More Authentic, Balanced, and Joyful Motherhood from Within. From the day that I met Lori as a brand new Postpartum Doula, she has been nothing shy o...

Today I want to start a conversation about the First 40 Days, which is also known as the fourth trimester or sitting moon, and really examine what it means and how you can implement it into your healing, if you feel called to do so. This postpartum period is really a space for you to heal as the mother, and it helps you prepare to show up as a good mother in the many, many months of motherhood to...

I feel blessed to have had the healing hands of today’s guest, Dr. Maura Moynihan, help my baby when she needed extra support as a newborn, as well as for her loving Mama care when I needed it as a mother of a newborn. I think I speak for all of my women friends that know her – whether they are a doula or a client – that she is a true gem in the healing world. So who is Dr. Maura Moynihan? She is...
