134: Why Nervous System Regulation is Essential During Fertility Treatment, a High-Risk Pregnancy and Postpartum
I'm asked frequently why I like to focus on bodywork and nervous system regulation. The simple answer is that I want to know (and I want you to know) not just how to cope, but how to not be affected by the anxiety that comes with life. When you're affected by trauma, the truth is that not...

132: The Biggest Problem of Prenatal & Postpartum Care
This is the episode I didn't want to do. I tried to avoid it, but I can't.

127: When You Feel Lost After Having a Baby in the NICU

122: How to Say No Without Feeling Guilty with Brigid Dineen
Why does saying NO feel so hard to do sometimes? The reason is that we want to be people-pleasers, well-liked, and the one who says YES to everything, but that's just not possible in every situation.
