Pain to Liberation

This episode is to remind you that every woman, every person is limitless in our desires... In our access to freedom. Igniting the power of what turns you on and exploring your longings is brilliant. So let’s journey together and I’m going to share important strategies that apply to an empowered birth that also apply to living a badass life. In celebration of my son's birthday and my doula practice, I present to you, 5 GEMS that I learned from childbirth which apply to everyday living. True freedom is and continues to be uncomfortable. We have been calcified in who we are…and birthing ourselves comes with endless possibilities-it is a cracking open and softening all at once. Possibility is an invitation. Birth is impossible to predict, even under the best management and clinical interventions. You never know what lines up to define your story. I am here for folks to explore fear and to go beyond it. Love is freedom. Love means I will never fully understand you, but I’ll keep coming back again and again….it means walking away, it means we're going to keep working at our differences, to embrace, what changes us, what we need to learn and grow together….it means to stay curious and open all at once. Revitalization of our culture begins with redefining sovereignty. What if sovereignty is to love fully? What if loving was the most revolutionary act we could do? 16 years ago I attended my first birth-9 months later my son was born. After these 5 gems, I share a personal story of choice. I will also touch on teen pregnancy and so that’s your head-sup. Many of our choices influence and change our lives forever. My desire to be his mom changed me forever.
