Expanding our Edges: Welcoming the next baby in, Signs and Spirituality, and Potty Training

In this episode, we explore the quiet knowing that your family might be ready to grow, the grief of letting go of versions of yourself you've worked hard to reclaim, and the tension between trusting your intuition and wanting logistical certainty.We talk about building a village, honoring the loved ones who continue to shape us after they're gone, and redefining prayer, spirituality, and what it means to be a light in the world. We also share honest reflections on toddler potty training and the practice of releasing perfectionism in motherhood.If you're navigating change, standing at the edge of a new season, or learning to trust yourself more deeply, this conversation is for you.Key Topics:Trusting bodily wisdom vs. logistical readinessPreparing emotionally and spiritually for another babyBuilding and receiving support from your villageGrieving and honoring changing identities in motherhoodDreams, signs, ancestors, and continuing bonds after lossPrayer, spirituality, and connection to the divinePrivilege, abundance, and giving backThe return to community-centered livingToddler potty training and releasing perfectionismLearning to trust our children—and ourselves—through transitionsBooks, Products, & People we mentioned:Rosie’s “Balance Yo Self” Grounding Spray: https://mintbodystudio.com/shop/balance-yoself-spray Artist: Tabitha Benedict: https://tabitha-benedict.com/Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe by Laura Lynne Jackson: https://a.co/d/05Gq8UyLOh Crap!
