Today's episode expands on an insight that has been with me for a while: Our bodies are the vessels / channels for the prayer -- for all that we want to be made manifest in this physical realm.  This is related to childbirth, as well as birthing anything else in our lives--a business, a creative project, a loving relationship, a new career, and more.    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.

Today's episode is with my dear sister, Abi Ighodaro, who's based in Ireland. Abi is an artist drawn to nature, ritual, and the quiet language of the body. She joins today's conversation as part of an ongoing exploration of her relationship with the body—especially through movement—as a site of memory and learning, and offers these reflections simply as part of a shared journey among sisters. Together we explore: Reclaiming art/creative expression from any elitism, perfectionism or locked gates, and experiencing it as a primordial expression of our soul Exploring art as a portal for connecting with the body and healing Recommendations for those looking to connect or reconnect with their innate creativity Honoring the body at any stage and age And more!    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.

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.

Today's interview with Dr. Naha Pandya pulls the curtain away so we can see the huge gaps in both information and care as it relates to the postpartum period. Dr. Pandya, who's the founder of The Recovery Method shares the challenges she faced after childbirth, including postpartum depression. She also shares about her mission to create a comprehensive, interdisciplinary platform to support new mothers. Dr. Pandya emphasizes the importance of building a supportive village for postpartum women and discusses how other countries like France and the UK are leading in postpartum care, offering lessons that could be applied in the U.S.   How to Stay in Touch with Naha Website: www.therecoverymethodinfo.com IG: the_recovery_method Email: [email protected] 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.

I also share ways that those experience can impact your relationship with your partner. And what I'm MOST excited about is to share that I'll be hosting a 5-week group container starting the first week of Feb 2025 for folks who are pregnant and now experiencing a lot of fear, anxiety, and worry as they move through their pregnancy.

Donette first joined us for an interview in 2020 (Ep 13: Pregnancy & Loss in a Foreign Country). Today, she's sharing how her journey has unfolded over the past four years. This includes three pregnancies (including being pregnant with twins) and curveball after curveball with unexpected losses, medical support, invasive procedures, the birth of a preemie, and life in the NICU.   I marvel at what it sometimes takes to bring these precious little ones into the world.  💖   It was inspiring to hear the layers of support Donette called on during her journey, how the last few years have shaped her, and ways that she practiced self-advocacy when working with her medical team. She shared that a previous episode I did with Tia DeShazor on Birthing in Community (Ep 41) emboldened her to speak up to have her needs met. Yess! May we continue to be a source of fire and encouragement for each other!   .    Some Resources We Reference: The previous podcast episode with Donette - Ep 13: Pregnancy & Loss in a Foreign Country: https://www.nataleefacey.com/podcast/episode/2fa2a72f/ep-13-pregnancy-and-loss-in-a-foreign-country  The episode Donette references that inspired her to advocate for herself as a Melanated Momma - Ep 41: Birthing in Community with Tia DeShazor: https://www.nataleefacey.com/podcast/episode/1c1b2932/ep-41-birth-story-birthing-in-community-with-tia-deshazor  Another episode that Donette has taken inspiration from - Ep 27: Why Do You Want to Have Children: https://www.nataleefacey.com/podcast/episode/1dcfe7ff/ep-27-why-do-you-want-to-have-children    ----- 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.

We're taught to erase our scars, that they get in the way of our beauty and perfection. What's been coming up for me that led to this episode is the wisdom that scars are the physical manifestation of the lives we've lived. They are a part of the stories our bodies hold. They can be evidence of both our pain and growth.  I wonder if as souls we ever held the intention to not go through pain. Or was the intention to have the storied life we're now experiencing that has the potential to lead to deep levels of growth? What are the stories we get to tell? What are the stories that our scars now tell? This is a "free-flow" episode, creating room for the thoughts and insights that have been emerging.

Our bodies are portals for creation. We have the ability to birth many, many expressions of life. But when our mainstream culture tells us that our worthiness is tied into birthing children, it creates a disconnection within ourselves if we accept that lie.    Today's episode is an Instagram Live recording where I speak to:  Staying in connection with ourselves and our sense of worthiness regardless of where we are on the pregnancy journey Birthing occurring on an energetic / spiritual level  When it becomes problematic to make a business or project "your baby" Removing blockages or resistance in the creative/birthing process and  A live Q&A on what reclaiming your womb, your yes, and your no might look like   ----- 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.

The podcast is changing, beloved. In beautiful ways though. I've been feeling called to expandind into other topics that speak to the whole of us...or the very least, more of us.

You don't have to smile. You don't.  I've been sitting with what it would be like to have a world where we can each show up with all the emotions that are present with us—showing up with the grief, the regret, the fear, the frustration—without feeling the need to "fix" yourself or those emotions before being in the room again.  This episode explores the cultural patterns that train us into smiling for the camera even when we don't feel like it and dreams up a new way of being with the emotions that are authentic in each moment.   If you enjoy today's episode, please share the love with someone who might find it useful as well.    ----- 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, or a traumatic pregnancy.

Today's episode is about permission and grace. If you're a mom/parent to angel babies, I encourage you to really give yourself the permission to do whatever supports your energy around this time. I also share how I respond when I'm asked if I'm a mother.  And if you're currently parenting or caretaking kiddos who are physically here, I shed light on the lie that we need to strive to be perfect mothers or parents. Perfection doesn't exist. It doesn't. Being able to surrender to the messiness, the madness, the beauty, the creativity, the unpredictability…of life and parenting offers a kind of liberation that ends up being resourcing our body and being,  instead of depleting.    If you enjoy today's episode, please share it with someone who might find it useful as well.    ----- More About Me: I'm a Resilience Coach, Embodiment Healing Guide, Angel Mama, and Birth Doula.

Today's episode is a prayer, an invitation to soften, to be gentle with yourself.  There's sometimes the belief–even if unconscious–that softening might transform someone into becoming weak or diminish their ability to be resilient. I've observed and experienced the opposite: that it's ignoring the body's invitation to soften that eventually leads to shut down and disconnection. The softening, the exhale…creates the opening.  I invite you to receive today's invitation if it resonates.   ----- More About Me: I'm a Resilience Coach, Embodiment Healing Guide, Angel Mama, and Birth Doula.

I used to think that my healing journey needed to look a certain way and have a definite outcome. That eventually--no matter how long it took--I needed to rise out of the ashes like a phoenix then tell the world about it.  Sitting with the realness of my unpredictable, and sometimes messy healing journey has taught me that there is no model for what healing should look like. You are an original. Your journey will be a unique one. And by releasing the expectations around who you ought to become and by when that needs to happen, perhaps that creates room for some unexpected, imperfect beauty to unfold.   In this episode, I share about: The ways in which our society creates "models" for who or what we should be How those models impact our healing journey The liberation that becomes possible through being present with your own journey Accessing the unique wisdom that wants to emerge through you   ----- More About Me: I'm a Resilience Coach, Embodiment Healing Guide, Angel Mama, and Birth Doula. I support women and femmes who've gone through different forms of loss in their emotional healing, pregnancy, and giving birth to a more powerful, compassionate, authentic version of themself. Healing is the greatest gift one could give to themself or their family. And it's an honor and privilege for me to be a form of support on that journey.   Ways That I Can Support You on Your Birthing / Rebirth Journey: Book a complimentary Clarity Call here: nataleefacey.com/contact Send me any questions or reflections you have: [email protected] Join my mailing list and receive a free guided meditation: https://www.subscribepage.com/k8l9d0 And let's connect on IG if we haven't already!: @thebirthwarriors   Donate: If you'd like to donate to support families experiencing financial hardship as they seek to access healing sevices, please do so here.   With Love, Natalee
