Ep 14: Ancient Wounds of Loss & Infertility

Challenges around fertility and pregnancy activate an ancient wound within us—the fear of being ostracized from our tribe (whether the one we were born into or the one we chose through our partner), the fear of our partner replacing us with another, "more fertile" mate, and the fear of losing opportunities for recognition and upward mobility.    This ancient wound runs so deep that it operates on the subconscious level without our awareness. And yet, it's one of the sources of panic and emotional distress around pregnancy. Because it causes emotional distress without our conscious awareness, it means that this ancient programming actually inhibits the body's ability to be in an optimal state for conception and pregnancy.    In today's episode, I share more on where this ancient wound comes from, how it continues to play out in modern society, and how you can actually TRANSFORM THIS INTO A GIFT to regain our sense of sovereignty on the conception and pregnancy journey.    As a heads up, this conversation is gonna be one of the heart-to-heart ones. I go a bit deep because I want you to be able to move through this journey from a place of power instead of from a place of fear. And what's more empowering than having an awareness of the hidden influences on your journey?   If you find today's episode helpful, please share it with another Birth Warrior on their journey. It just might be the words they needed to hear today.    The Birth Warrior Bootcamp kicks off this Weds, Dec 2, 2020! Wooh!
