Come Back Into Your Body w/ Abby Hildebrand

Send Shannon A NoteHEY! Did You know I’m hosting a FREE Design Your Maternity Leave Workshop on Tuesday, 10/10 at 1pm EST? Register here!This week's guest is Abby Hildebrand. Abby is a Trauma-Informed Breathwork Facilitator, Human Development Specialist, and Perinatal Mental Health Advocate. Having been a published author at the ripe old age of 10 (okay, so it was for an elementary school poetry contest, but still!), she has woven the soul of her story into her many careers, and despite being only 5’2”, has had the opportunity to flex her growth muscles on all these journeys, most notably in the newest role of Mama. Her mission is to facilitate the healing process for others, guiding them to breathe into their own capacity to heal themselves and take control of their emotional and physical health. Her approach is collaborative and grounded through a Trauma-Informed lens, empowering clients in building a path to wellness, one step at a time. Focusing her practice primarily on supporting caregivers, she offers individualized coaching and corporate group classes through her company, Wellness Creek Consulting.Key Takeaways:Breathwork encourages us to pause and be. It helps us to bring ourselves in, ground, and center. Breathwork is consciously shifting the rhythm of our breath to support different experiences and different systems within. It helps us clear away the debris to get to the root of how our nervous system is/is not responding to things around. You can model breathwork with your children. They naturally respond to breath patterns to support them. Their bodies will naturally help bring their systems down.You can get playful with it to help support them. Their bodies can memorize the response and the down regulation. Tune in to what’s happening in your body. When you regulate your system, your babies and children will respond. You can support and operate your family from such a different level by just tuning in. Get your resources lined up before you have your baby. You don’t want to find out about these a year after the fact. You are deserving of the services regardless of your circumstance. We are all deserving of this support, this village, and this care. You change physiologically when you have a baby. You can’t go back to the same person you were before and that’s okay. Thank her for bringing you to this point, say goodbye, grieve that part of you, and step into the new person you get to carry forward. We’ve developed such a detachment to our bodies. Use breath, use yoga, use time in nature to get quiet and get tuned in and that’s a way to support the community around you by getting tuned in and turned on. The ripple effect is huge. YOU HAVE TO EXHALE TO INHALE. YOU HAVE TO LET GO TO RECEIVE. Give yourself space, give yourself pause. Because you set one thing down, you don’t have to pick something else up. We are inherently worthy and we are not the things that we do. You can find Abby...on Instagramon Facebookand on her website.Be sure to give her a follow!Until we meet again, come hang out w/ me on the socials:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠This podcast is jusSpeak, Mother is hosted by Shannon Warner, founder of Resonant Collective offering podcast launch, maintenance, and strategy services for truth-telling women.Follow @ResonantCollective on IG: https://www.instagram.com/resonantcollective/Connect with Shannon on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/podcastwithshannon/
