Preparing For Pregnancy After Loss

I used to think that my healing journey needed to look a certain way and have a definite outcome. That eventually--no matter how long it took--I needed to rise out of the ashes like a phoenix then tell the world about it. 

Sitting with the realness of my unpredictable, and sometimes messy healing journey has taught me that there is no model for what healing should look like. You are an original. Your journey will be a unique one. And by releasing the expectations around who you ought to become and by when that needs to happen, perhaps that creates room for some unexpected, imperfect beauty to unfold.

In this episode, I share about:

• The ways in which our society creates “models” for who or what we should be

• How those models impact our healing journey

• The liberation that becomes possible through being present with your own journey

• Accessing the unique wisdom that wants to emerge through you

Feeling as though you're suffering in silence is perhaps one of the most common experiences after going through a loss. Silence and solitude might be exactly what you need in the earlier stages of your healing journey. And at some point, the silence or isolation may no longer support your healing. 

In this episode, I share:

• When silence and solitude are in service of our healing and 
• When silence and solitude can lead to our decline
• Some simple tips for bringing "movement" and release to your body and being\

The "Spiritual Bypass" is often intended to be a reminder that we're spiritual beings having a human experience. It can also be used to dismiss or diminish our very real human experiences, which leads to us holding on to hurt instead of processing and releasing it. 

In this episode, I share:

• How the Spiritual Bypass showed up in my experience 
• How it can be harmful if it's showing up in yours 
• Why healing also needs to occur through the body
• And exploring a sense of purpose after a loss

Hi Beloved - Have you been waiting for your comeback? To "uplevel" your life or quickly have another baby to  show that your life after loss is better than before? I share the imbalances in our culture that are at the root of this, how it showed up in my own experience after loss, and why inner healing is necessary. 

If this resonates with you, be sure to share it with someone else who might need to hear it.

I consider myself a life-long learner, so it means a lot when I say that Compassionate Communication or Nonviolent Communication (NVC) has been one of the single most important practices I’ve learned. As my teacher, Steve Torma, puts it, Compassionate Communication isn’t just a tool for communication but a shift in consciousness. 

I’ve referred Compassionate Communication to clients of mine because it becomes a game-changer for ANY conversation or relationship. And today, we have the pleasure of hearing Steve Torma share more about Compassionate Communication and how it can benefit you and your relationships. 

We discuss: 

• What Compassionate Communication or NVC is and some of its many benefits
• What violence looks like in conversations (it’s not just physical!)
• How the “Dominator Culture” we’re socialized in shows up in our self-talk and relationships 
• Why men will likely grieve differently from women
• The patterns/imbalances that may become prevalent in relationships between men and women
• How Compassionate Communication can help create inner peace, as well as bring empathy and healing to relationships 
  
  
  

Steve Torma’s Bio: 

Steve (he/him) was born and raised on a family farm in Ashtabula, Ohio, and is a 25-year member of Earthaven Ecovillage. His ancestors are Hungarian and French Canadian.

Steve co-founded an intentional community in Ohio in 1980, where he lived until joining Earthaven Ecovillage in 1996. At Earthaven, he co-founded a thriving neighborhood, was president for three years, and has taught Nonviolent Communication for twelve years. In addition to his passion for community, Steve co-managed a natural foods co-op for 10 years, ran his own traveling bookstore business for over 20 years, and now teaches Nonviolent Communication and other relationship and community building skills through The REAL Center, which he co-founded in 2009. 

As a lifelong peace, justice, and ecology educator and activist with over 40 years of community living, Steve has sought to integrate personal and social transformation in his own life, in the communities where he lives, and in the larger society. His passion for integral living and thinking has led him to study and experiment with a wide range of spiritualities, psychological systems, and social theories as they relate to creating a more just and sustainable world.

Steve has taught Nonviolent Communication for a variety of intentional communities, organizations, and regional gatherings, including Celo Community, The Mountain Retreat Center, Firefly Gathering, Southeast Permaculture Gathering, Organic Growers School, Kinnection Campout, LovEvolution Gathering, Compassion Camp, and many others.

I had the pleasure of working with Tia during her pregnancy as her “space-holder,” resource-connector, co-strategist, and emotional healing guide. I’ve been excited to share our follow-up conversation because Tia’s story is such a powerful example of what’s possible when pregnancy and birth are supported by community—family, friends, and professionals who are equally competent as they are caring. 

It’s a model that doesn’t simply center the pregnant / birthing person, but also makes them the director of their experience, and at the same time, allows them to feel safe enough, held enough so that they can surrender to the process. 

The magic that unfolded in Tia’s birth is typically reserved for fantasies. But it was real and it came after a fair amount of self-advocacy and intentionality. 

I also want to acknowledge that when you’ve gone through a loss or fertility challenges, it may feel safer to go with the hospital care we’ve learned to accept as the norm. But if you’ve been finding that unsatisfactory, I hope Tia’s story will spark ideas for the alternatives you have access to regardless of who you choose to be on your birthing team and where you choose to birth.

------

Tia and I discuss:

- Challenges she experienced receiving care within the hospital model

- The ways she advocated for herself amidst push-back

- Choosing a midwife and homebirth

- Feeling supported by “prayers, friends, and angels” as she welcomed her baby earth-side

Today’s episode features one of my favorite Birth & Postpartum Doulas, Kris Bailey. Knowing that you can add a Birth and Postpartum Doula to your birthing team helps to take the “scary” out of childbirth. And so, I’m thrilled to have Kris share more about how doulas can improve your birthing experience. 

Kris is also the founder of Birth Sent Lisi, an organization whose mission is to inform, educate and support birthing people on the island of Saint Lucia by providing access to maternal health services during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum period. 

Kris and I discuss:

- Why a Birth and/or Postpartum Doula is an important part of your birthing team

- Having awareness of the “strong, independent woman” archetype and asking for support

- The difficult experiences of Black and Brown birthing people 

- The wonderful work she’s cultivating in her home country of St. Lucia and how you can play a part in its success

These words are in honor of the “other mothers”…those on the not-so-easy pregnancy journey whose stories I’ve had the privilege of holding sacred space for. 

If today’s episode resonates with you, please share it with someone else whose motherhood journey might have been different from the one that’s often celebrated, but who knows themself to be a mother just the same. 

Lots of love to you!

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.

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

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
