Ep. 42: Pregnancy, Birth, and Beyond: The Mind-Body Connection with Ivy Joeva

Your body has the answers, the wisdom is within you. In today's episode, I invite doula coach and educator Ivy Joeva to share her experiences and wisdom about the journey to parenthood and her passion as a guide for fertility, vitality, and empowered births. We dive into topics of how to baby-proof your relationship, dealing with changes in libido during and after pregnancy (for both the women and their partners!), and how conception, pregnancy, and birth can be a gateway to deeper healing.    We get deep into: Ivy's journey to becoming a doula and the transformation in her life from her work The ripple effects of her maternal grandmother's birthing experience and how past traumas can affect your journey to parenthood How traditional talk therapy can sometimes fall short (and how Ivy supports her clients move through layers of grief) Why relationship to self is so VITAL during this journey Some helpful practices for couples to stay connected during pregnancy and postpartum  Orgasmic birth and what you can do to achieve this powerful experience Why some male partners lose libido during or after pregnancy And so much more!
