I did a new thing this past week, which is I recorded this podcast live on Youtube. You’ll hear other people’s questions, and some more thoughts and pondering on how to label postpartum hemorrhage, the rates of hemorrhage in my own practice (hint; it’s super duper low) and other ideas to consider when excess bleeding […] Click the icon below to listen.          

Wow, I had fun with this one! We posted a reel this week on Instagram of a beautiful “Closing of the Bones” ceremony that we offered a mama we served. This podcast is a combo of describing that to you AND offering my very transparent truth around this idea of “cultural appropriation”. I won’t spoil […] Click the icon below to listen.          

I am so excited to finally launch my Magical Mama Circle! I talked all about it after a quick webinar this week called “How to Raise Magical Children”.

I had fun with this one since I’m not attending births right now and felt I could be so super duper honest! My hope for this podcast is that it inspires you to think beyond the (medical) box we’ve often found ourselves in as midwives and even as mamas that seek midwives. If we threw […] Click the icon below to listen.          

In this podcast, I wanted to riff on a recent post/blog I made about birth not being something you order up like cabinets. I go into a LOT more detail and expand on this idea with what I feel we CAN and CANNOT influence. Ultimately, we don’t get to choose life or death for another […] Click the icon below to listen.

Take these 10 minutes or so to connect with the baby that is growing in your womb, at whatever stage of pregnancy you are in.

SO excited to have Sam and Angelia on my podcast! Both of these amazing ladies have been working alongside of me the last year as students and apprentices and friends.

So fun to have my friend Bridget back on my podcast after many years!

There are many ways and reasons that midwives are taught, and continue to do, really weird things. I want to share more about some of the reasons behind this all, as well as using some of the weird things rarely and in a sacred nature! All of this and more will be covered and supported […] Click the icon below to listen.          

I’m back for what might be a long awaited Mothering episode! Someone asked me recently to talk about how we handle money and chores and all that in my house. So tune in if you are curious about it all; beliefs around money, how we approach jobs and working and what we pay (and don’t […] Click the icon below to listen.          

The new paradigm is such that we MUST use our discretion and our internal compass to know what, who, why or when is right (or not right for us). Gone are the days of “I work with every single woman that comes my way” unless someone chooses to be there or needs to learn those […] Click the icon below to listen.          

With the darkness coming to an end, we release that which does not serve. And heading into the light, we can have appreciation for it and imagine what we will create!

What a deep, dark internal time it’s been! Sharing all the happenings, inside and out that have been going on seasonally and personally. And it’s related to birth because this idea of being present and non-attached manifested this week for me in midwife role and I wanted to share all about that. What do you […] Click the icon below to listen.
