Ep 60: Practicing Grace in Mothering & Self-Mothering with Brigid Harris

I had the pleasure of sitting with Brigid Harris, a beloved in our Birth Warrior community whom I first connected with four years ago. We've stayed in touch as penpals of sorts and had the opportunity to do some deep healing work together.  It was a gift to receive this offering of Brigid's story and hearing her share openly about the tender places she continues to navigate as she calls in her baby. In our conversation, we touch on: Noticing patterns that no longer support wellbeing and intentionally shifting them The ways that her son, Ronan, teaches her to love herself more deeply The ways that she honors her mother, Bernadette, who's in the Ancestral realm And the ongoing practice of mothering and self-mothering with grace   Please join me in sending love and appreciation to Brigid, and to all those in our community who continue to navigate those tender places of love, life, and pregnancy after loss.    If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with another beloved you think might be lifted up by it.    With Love, Nat   ----   More About Me: I am a Resilience Coach, Birth Doula, and Emotional Healing Guide, walking alongside women and femmes like you who've experienced womb-related loss, such as infertility, a pregnancy loss, infant loss, traumatic pregnancy or childbirth, or missed opportunity to become pregnant.
