Rise To Her

What if the way we talk about birth has been shaped more by systems of control than by trust, autonomy, and informed choice?  Many women have been taught there is a "right" way to give birth, build a family, and make decisions about their bodies. Over time, that conditioning can quietly disconnect us from our own intuition, replacing self-trust with perfectionism, fear, and the pressure to get eve...

So many of us spend years trying to be the version of ourselves that everyone else expects. We follow the rules, push through the anxiety, stay productive, and keep striving to be "good." Along the way, we can lose touch with our bodies, our emotions, and the parts of ourselves that once felt playful, creative, and fully alive. In this conversation, somatic coach and Healing Embodied founder Chels...

In this episode Barbara and I talk about what it actually looks like to trust yourself when everything around you has been designed to make you doubt that instinct.
