06: From Birth to Beliefs: Reparenting Our Earliest Imprints – with Kaley Kroschinsky

In this soulful conversation, Lisa Watson and regular guest, Isabella Clark, sit down with Kaley Kroschinsky—Maternal Wellness Educator, grassroots midwifery-trained, yoga-informed, and lactation specialist—to explore how our earliest experiences program the nervous system… and how reparenting begins before birth.We unpack how a baby attunes to the mother’s nervous system in utero, why the golden hour, skin-to-skin, and co-regulation are foundational, and how breast/chestfeeding done in a laid-back, baby-led way supports safety, bonding, and long-term regulation. We also name the culture matrix—fear, over-medicalization, isolation—and offer sovereign tools to rewrite the script.In this episode you’ll learn:How prenatal stress vs. safety becomes early nervous-system programming we later reparentWhy co-regulation + oxytocin (birth/early postpartum) create secure imprintsPractical supports: breath, music, affirmations, partner roles, and the B.R.A.I.N. advocacy toolGentle insight on C-sections, baby blues vs. postpartum depression, and healing without shameLaid-back breastfeeding (aka natural/biological nursing) to reduce pain and improve latchDelayed cord clamping, the golden hour, and why community matters for modern familiesReparenting takeaway: When we center safety, attunement, and sovereignty around conception, birth, and postpartum, we interrupt inherited dysregulation and model regulated love—for ourselves and the generations to come.Show notes – Guest links🔗 CONNECT WITH KALEY:Website: themothertree.caInstagram: @themothertreecollectiveBook: The Comfortable Breastfeeding GuideCircles/Classes: Crunchy Mama Meetups & virtual lactation supportSend us Fan MailSupport the showCONNECT WITH LISA WATSONYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@reparent-yourselfTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@reparent.yourselfWebsite: lisa-watson.comLinkedIn: watsonlisakInstagram: @reparentyourselfFREE RESOURCES1.  Newsletterhttps://app.kit.com/creator_profile2.
