REWILD + FREE (Nicole Pasveer)

Marissa's story resonates deeply!! Together, we explore the intersection of modern day witchcraft, nature, and feminine embodiment!

Marissa also explains the importance of self expression and intentionality in your space; how to heal through your home; and the cure (and psychology) behind clutter!

Listen in as we redefine consistency, untangle (and embrace) our natural cyclical rhythms, and discuss the delicate balance between desire and obligation and where devotion fits into motherhood and/or conscious entrepreneurship. 

While we are both celebrating the 1 year anniversary of our podcasts, Lauren and I reflect on our devotion to getting to this point by defining our own rules around consistency. We open up about the challenges of staying dedicated to our vision as entrepreneurs, the societal pressures to be consistently productive, and the impact of podcasting on our lives.

We reflect on the changing capacity within motherhood during the toddler years in contrast to the need for dedication and commitment to business, all while continuing to unlearn from previous programming, and resistance to obligation and mainstream definitions around productivity. 

Lauren and I dissect how obligation might be tied to self-doubt, lack of self-trust, and people-pleasing behaviour, contrasted with desire seen as a more authentic, and feminine embodied driver, and of course what aspects of this are being illuminated to us in this lunar cycle, and inviting us into deeper devotion to our values. 

We have no doubt that some part of this episode will be relatable or offer language to your own experience as you untangle the messy middle of motherhood or entrepreneurship.

As always, we love to hear from you!

Join us for another all-over-the-place episode in true Lauren and Nicole style, where we continue to share insights about introspection, practicing self-compassion, and embracing uncertainty from our experience as mother entrepreneurs. 

Lauren and I pull on some pretty thick threads anchored around fear, perfectionism, performance, and productivity, all while orienting back to our values of connection and embodiment. 

One of the key themes that emerged from this discussion is the importance of embracing the messy middle. We share our personal experiences and reflections, emphasizing the value of permission to show up imperfectly and the significance of being comfortable with being a beginner or messy.

We also explore the concept of taking small steps to expand comfort zones, highlighting the idea of titration as a gentle approach to facing fears and embracing new challenges. The conversation is rich with insights on the interconnectedness of different aspects of life, and the recognition of the need to tap into slowness and radical responsibility for our own responses to external pressures including the intensity of the current eclipse season.

As we navigate our own journeys, it's essential to recognize the power of noticing and responding to our inner conflicts and fears, without allowing them to dictate our actions. Invitation to allow this episode to serve as a gentle reminder to grant yourself permission to be vulnerable, to slow down, and to be present in the messy, beautiful middle of your own growth.

In the midst of uncertainty and the ebb and flow of life, we hope this episode offers you moments of reflection, inspiration, and the courage to take small steps towards expanding your own comfort zones.

In this episode, Lauren and I vulnerably reflect on the turbulence we’ve both experienced this past month and how it’s impacting our nervous systems, our creativity, our productivity, and our sense of Self.

We share our own journeys of discomfort and fear, and embrace the concept of pausing and slowing down to return in a more authentic way.

As we continue to deepen into cyclical embodiment, we both acknowledge that being in a season of slow down is normal and necessary despite societal conditioning telling us to push through. We share both the discomfort and expansion of paving our own ways.

As always our conversation pulls the threads of many different topics including:

• Seeking so called “balance” between business and the ever changing phases of motherhood
• Body image struggles
• Mom guilt and self worth
• Reframing burnout, shifting priorities, and embracing a season of self-tending
• Redefining procrastination and leaning into your own creative process
• Healing perfectionism and witnessing the embodied growth

We have no doubt that some part of this episode will be relatable or offer language to your own experience as you untangle the messy middle of motherhood or entrepreneurship. As always, we love to hear from you! DM us on IG and let us know what this episode stirs up for you.

Generational conditioning is impacting our physical health as mothers, this episode sheds light on the importance of supporting our feminine physiology to reclaim health in the chaos of modern day motherhood.

I'm joined by Katie Galvin who is a functional diagnostic nutritional practitioner. Katie walks us through reclaiming vibrant health in motherhood through an ancestral and holistic lens of functional nutrition and nervous system regulation.

We discuss how generational conditioning and conventional medicine is failing moms and some controversies around antidepressants, including why postpartum anxiety and depression need to be viewed as a symptom not simply a mental health diagnosis.

As two former overachievers and recovering people pleasers, Katie and I discuss our shared experience of how good girl conditioning has impacted our physical health and why we've placed nervous system health as top of mind.

Katie gives us tangible tips to start reclaiming our health yesterday including simple nutrient dense foods to swap out some modern day trends.

Katie is on a mission to challenge the normalization of symptoms and raise the bar for optimal health for mothers.

Taking care of ourselves as moms is not only essential for our own well-being but for the future generation we are raising. 

Meet Katie:

Katie Galvin is a former speech therapist turned postpartum doula and functional diagnostic nutritional practitioner. She specializes in postpartum health, but loves all things women’s health and hormones! She’s a wife, and homeschooling momma of two. Katie was diagnosed with postpartum anxiety and depression after having her daughter in 2016. After struggling with severe physical symptoms and mental health, she struggled to find answers and was able old that medication and therapy was her only option. Medications did not help her symptoms, and she felt that conventional medicine had completely failed her as a mom. She dove head first into the holistic health space and learned how to heal her body with functional nutrition and lifestyle strategies. Katie went on to become a certified functional practitioner and now helps other moms identify their root causes so they can self-heal and experience vibrant health in motherhood.

Have you ever stayed silent on a topic out of fear that you don't know enough? That you'll say the wrong thing? Or that you'll be cancelled from a group of people?

Me too! In this episode, I'm graciously held by my friend Lauren while I share an experience that unfolded earlier this year.

This conversation is important to have and also hard to navigate. During the process of creating this episode, I battled a lot of mind chatter questioning if this story is even worthy of being made public. I felt like I needed to be very careful with my words and am still holding a lot of fear around how this could be misunderstood.

The good girl conditioning and people pleasing tendencies that I've been working hard to unlearn and heal from have been creeping in, and I've also been practicing deep self compassion and space holding for myself.

I invite you to be open and curious as you're listening and please reach out and share any reflections or musings that come alive for you.

Today is my daughter's 3rd birthday which means I'm entering my 4th year of motherhood and celebrating another rebirth and deepening into my truest self

This episode is a reflection of the past 3 years on my self-reclamation journey and a bit of declaration as to where I'm going, what kind of work I want to bring into this world, and who I want to work with

I explore how motherhood and entrepreneurship have been a catalyst for profound personal and spiritual growth, bringing about continuous cycles of rebirth and self-discovery

Welcome to this impromptu recording answering the big question you might share with me....

"What's standing in my way of wild success?"

Spoiler!! It's our own head getting in the way

The fears we hold, the projections we make, the stories we attach to...

We don't have to wait for xyz before we can embody the version of ourselves we want to be

This episode is both invitation and solidarity, it's a taste of the medicine I'm scooping up right now

• What's actually getting in your way of wild success?
• What gaps can you close between the version of you right now and the version of you that you desire to be?
• What supports does your nervous system need right now? Can you meet those needs, or voice them to others, or set boundaries to protect your current capacity?
• What would NOT playing small actually look like in your life right now? (In your mothering, in your marriage, in your business?

Buckle up friend! This is a true glimpse into how our behind the scenes conversations usually flow… a little all over the map, but with so much depth, curiosity, and reflection along the way.

Join us as we begin this FULL MOON episode by each candidly sharing updates around what’s currently alive in our respective seasons of business and motherhood. 

We then begin to untangle the harsh extremes in the online motherhood, entrepreneurship and healing space and why more nuance is desperately needed. Together we rewrite our stories about business “fails” and get real about our own experiences as mother entrepreneurs. 

We tap into the significance of intention setting, the importance and POWER of ritual and ceremony, and how we’re carving our own paths to step away from some of the belief systems and religious traditions anchored from childhood. 

You’ll hear us express our utter (and hilarious) lack of knowledge of astrology and the full moon energetics, but we bring much needed humor and FUN to the conversation as we attempt to learn in real time and illuminate that which we’re letting go of with the full moon.

Plus, we touch on:

• The effect of social media consumption on our creation cycles, and the delicate balance between inspiration and comparison
• What having a holistic view of nervous system dysregulation really means
• Our personal experiences of disentangling from Christian and Catholic upbringing, and creating our own traditions, rituals and ceremonies around seasons and holidays 

Together we weave in so much and pull the threads of so many thoughts and interesting topics. Come laugh, learn and reflect with us.

In this episode, I'm joined by Shruti Kumar, a parenting coach. Together, we dive deep into the topic of conscious parenting and explore the importance of connection, nervous system regulation, and personal discovery in raising the future generation.

Shruti shares her personal journey and how she switched careers to focus on motherhood and parenting. We discuss the challenges of balancing entrepreneurship and being present with children, while emphasizing the need for self-care and creating pockets of time for ourselves.

Throughout this episode, we also explore:

• what conscious parenting actually means
• viewing behaviour as communication of met or unmet needs
• the importance of rupture and repair
• how to model repair to our children and seeing ruptures as opportunities for growth and connection
• simplifying self-care and not measuring self worth solely by productivity

Shruti offers us practical tools and insights for nurturing a deep connection with our little ones while maintaining a strong connection to Self.

Meet Shruti:

Shruti Kumar is an international lawyer turned full time parent coach. She found her passion in conscious parenting during Covid and after having her second child. She helps parents with all kinds of parenting challenges and helps them raise resilient kids through connection, empathy and joy. She offers awareness, tools and strategies that help parents move from overwhelm and exhaustion to more presence and ease.

A cute little 'minisode' offering a reframe on what it means to be thriving.

If we look to nature as a reflection of our own life, motherhood, and business... it can show us that surviving storms and moving through the death and rebirth of winter to spring are indicators of growth and flourishing

(Thrive by definition, means "to grow and flourish")

So is it possible that even when you aren't in a season of outward growth (aka the full bloom of summer), you are still growing. You are still thriving!

Thrive on my friend!

This is a recording clipped from the replay of the Winter Solstice women's circle I held on December 22/23.

I wanted it to have a permanent spot on the podcast, along with the following to reflect on:

Think back to this time last year, what were your expectations/goals heading into 2023  

Reflect on your growth / transformation 

Did you have a keyword for 2023?  Bring that front of mind as you reflect 

Scan through your year - meditate or look through your camera roll to jog your memory 

It’s easy to look at the good times, but can you hold space for the hard times too? 

Notice the challenging moments AND the celebrations. 

Pick a few prompts below to journal on: 

• What am I proud of? (Don’t dim anything down. Hold space for even the smallest wins) 
• What am I grateful for? Where did abundance show up? (doesn’t have to be financial abundance)  
• What was my biggest challenge? 
• What would bring comfort, care, or completion to this challenge? (Perhaps a Ritual, ceremony, communication, setting a boundary, etc.) 
• What *isn't* working for me?
• What *is* working for me?
• Where am I rushing? Or feeling a sense of urgency?
• Where can I add intentional pauses (microrest) to my life? 
• What does my body need right now?
• What ‘shoulds’ or stories do I want to release? 
• What am I still harvesting from last season (fall)? 
• What am I letting go of (letting die) this season (winter)?
• How can I prepare and nourish myself (soil) to be fertile next season (spring)?

My unfiltered musings on AI and the use of Chat GPT in biz/content creation. Exploring how to remain authentic as a spiritual and heart led creative, while also allowing AI to be a supportive tool to amplify my own intelligence.

In this episode, I share my own internal dilemma of using AI and how I'm untangling and discovering my place in this ever-evolving technological landscape.

I believe, as conscious and holistic mother entrepreneurs, it's important for us to question the relationship between technology and our well-being. Are these tools truly helping us or are they perpetuating a cycle of busyness and disconnection?

We’re so often given the advice of “more being, less doing” yet what does this actually look like in modern motherhood as busy, potentially high achieving, and conscious mothers or women entrepreneurs? 

It can be easy to enter a shame spiral when we find ourselves betraying our own needs or not following through on things we intend to do. 

In this episode, we uncover the identity of efficiency and discuss how being efficient can be a strong motivator in our day to day actions. We reflect on how societal conditioning and external validation has led to a distortion around self worth and productivity. 

We explore how to show our nervous systems that it’s actually SAFE not to be efficient despite past and current programming, and we talk about different ways we are each personally infusing micro pauses of intention into our day without massive adjustments to our to-do lists.  

This episode invites you to find ways to infuse more being into your doing.

Some ideas we offer include practicing awareness and strengthening your muscle of discernment. Strengthening awareness and discernment can increase Self trust and Self worth in small, bite sized ways while allowing flexibility for the changing seasons of one’s capacity.  

We set new moon intentions for ourselves and invite you to join us in asking yourself questions like: 

“What does my body need right now?”

And “Have I felt my heartbeat today?” and invite you to either follow through on what comes up in response to those questions, or hold space for what is present without jumping to fix it or take it away.

TLDL (too long didn't listen): STOP PUTTING YOURSELF IN A BOX WITH CONTENT AND OFFER CREATION BY ACTING OUT OF PRESSURE AND OBLIGATION

In this episode, I'm sharing a candid update on the behind the scenes of my business and some of the pressure I've been putting on myself to "oblige" to mainstream marketing norms, to "perfect" my offer suite, and to be "accessible" to as many potential clients as possible…

So of course, I'm walking you through my in-real-time process of HOW I’m swapping pressure for play!

I share about some of the urgency I've been feeling around the common practice in the coaching industry to offer multiple products or services at varying price points, and to have this 'perfectly proven funnel' set up in my backend. And of course share my unpopular opinions on this, which I believe is actually keeping us in a box, and diluting our voice and points of connection with potential clients.

Instead, I argue the importance of experimentation in your marketing and offer creation in order to align your offerings with what feels truly energizing and inspiring, rather than succumbing to societal pressures or obligations. And seeing offer creation less linearly, and more cyclically!

This is your massive permission slip to PLAY! Begin to look at offer and content creation like a massive science experiment, start "trying things on for size" without the unnecessary pressure and attachment to outcomes/timelines.

Swapping pressure for play is also a way to expand your nervous system's window of tolerance AND an opportunity to heal good girl conditioning and perfectionism!

Be sure to listen to the end where I tease my upcoming group program for mother entrepreneurs wanting to get their head out of the way of their heart led business. This group training will be centred on unlearning, relearning, and embodying. The intention is to create a space to unravel and integrate. Think of the experience as an embodied reset to reframe your mind, reconnect to your body, and rebirth the soul of your business

This episode is inspired by the flood of Black Friday emails beginning to fill my inbox as we approach American Thanksgiving. It had me reflecting on how it feels to be sold to by mother entrepreneurs using some common mainstream marketing tactics, you know, the ones created by men....

So I'm calling out some mainstream "bro marketing" strategies and inspiring you to quit marketing like you have a dick.

Jokes aside, I offer some alternative ways to sell and create content authentically, and some behind the scenes actions you need to be taking to show up to your business from a place of overflow, not depletion.

Feminine embodied business creation involves you claiming your desires, following joy and pleasure, and prioritizing rest.

I hope this episode inspires you to speak from your heart, share your stories, and connect on a deeper level with your audience because the world needs you to stop dulling your light and stop selling/marketing like you have a dick 😛

In this solo episode, I pretend we are on a first date and begin unloading my life story with you!
 
I discuss the pressure I put on myself during high-school and university to get good grades and pick a "successful" career path .  Looking back now, it's so easy to see I spent a lot of those years worried about my reputation and held onto the belief that my worth was measured on my achievements... and that "achieving" equaled success.
Since becoming a mom, it's become clear to me how strong my overachieving/perfectionist/people pleasing tendencies were... it's given me opportunity to make different choices and start forming my own identity!   
For the first time ever, I'm doing things because I want to, instead of because it's expected of me! 

If you like what you see (um hear?) so far, or resonate to anything I've shared, please let me know.

In this quick chat, I reflect on celebrating the launch of this podcast. I encourage you to notice the little things in life worth celebrating and I remind us both that what we focus our attention on grows... so we need to stop critiquing ourselves (which is subconsciously rooted in lack and scarcity)  and instead start paying attention to our baby steps and getting back up each time we fall (growth and expansion)

Spontaneous solo episode where I go on a little rant about human design and shedding layers of societal conditioning. I reflect on my journey so far, feeling naked and afraid as I approach this limitless path in front of me.
I'm feeling it ALL
The fear, the excitement, and the biggness
I know I'm on the right right path if I can continue to follow my heart and get out of my head

There's a massive gap in care for mothers after having a baby. 
Brittany Zeer, creator of Blissful Womb Care joins me in this episode to discuss the importance of supporting postpartum healing as a way to improve the wellness of not just a family, but the community.

She outlines the 5 essentials that every woman should be offered including: Rest, Warmth, Body Care, Nourishment, and Community Support

We also discuss the Rite of Passage a woman goes through when becoming a mother and how often the Rite of Passage is incomplete; missing the integration of a new beginning and new identity. To properly complete this Rite of Passage, we need social recognition and community care, which is generally lacking in our culture. 

“Birth is just a blip in time
Pregnancy is just a blip in time
But postpartum is forever
You’ll never not be postpartum again”
-Brittany Zeer

Brittany reminds us that the postpartum period is forever, not just the 6-12 weeks we are led to believe.  At the time of this recording, I was 18 months postpartum and had the opportunity to experience one of  Brittany's postpartum packages first hand. In this episode, I  debrief my experience including the lessons I learned after processing my birth story with her and  my experience during the Closing of the Bones ceremony. 

Brittany supports women and mothers with Menstrual Cycle and Fertility Awareness, 1-on-1 Pregnancy Support, Prenatal Yoga, and Postpartum Care.
Details on in-person support for those living in the Calgary/Airdrie area can be found here
 
Brittany also has virtual offerings including prenatal yoga and her intimate group container on cycle awareness, called Blissful Cycles

Starting and ending friendships can be tricky to navigate,  especially as a mom! 

In this episode, I'm joined by Bekah (@radicallyrebekah) and we discuss adult friendships, specifically “mom friends” and how to put yourself out there to cultivate relationships with like minded people.
Bekah shares her story of moving across the country with a newborn and having to start "fresh" in the friend department. 
We dissect the difference between mom shaming, judgement or lack of support versus, being your authentic self and holding space for people who have contrasting values or opinions as you.
We offer tangible strategies on how to make new friends, walk away from old ones and  how to be intentional in where you seek out advice!

Are you just a character in someone else’s book or are you holding the pen and writing your own story?  

In this episode,  I'm joined by Alexis (@intentionally.alexis) and we chat about all things healing in motherhood,  including self-worth, spiritual bypassing, and radical responsibility to finally get out of that victim mindset. 

Alexis Stearns is a healing mentor for moms who are ready to heal their birth trauma, break generational cycles, and enjoy motherhood.

• Looking at balance as a myth, instead striving for presence as our goal 
• Falling victim to this idea of destination  addiction  
• Who you are before the world got to you 
• Recognizing when your 'shoulding' on yourself 
• The ripple effect our healing has on future generations 
• How fitting in and belonging might lead to self abandonment

How do you navigate the complex world of relationships, parenting, and identity while embracing your true self?   

This week, I'm joined by Dana Struthers from New Zealand, who answers this million dollar question for us through the lens of her own matrescence journey.
 
Matrescence has been no straight road for Dana. The journey into and through Motherhood saw Dana experiencing pregnancy loss, severe postnatal depression & anxiety, a changing career, a break up in her marriage, and having her own sexual realization and Queer awakening.

In this episode, Dana opens up about her decision to end her marriage,  her journey into dating women, and her vastly different birth experiences, while exploring the importance of being mindful of our biases and the opinions of our ego in the birth space. With her now-partner, Rebecca, we discussed their experiences during lockdown, navigating relationships and parenting, as well as Dana's experience with postnatal depression and the significant changes she went through during this period.

Finally, join us as we delve into the balancing of divine masculine and feminine energy within a woman-loving-woman relationship and how it shows up within the partnership and household. Dana's valuable insights on the importance of standing in your own truth and being aware of your own biases serve as a powerful reminder for all of us to live life unapologetically and intentionally.

You aren't failing mama, but society might be failing you.
In this episode, I'm joined by Nikki Matthews who shares her experience preparing for pregnancy/birth and navigating postnatal depression and anxiety after becoming a mom. She discusses the societal taboo surrounding maternal mental health and the struggle to seek support.  This is part 3 of a 3 part series on Matrescence (tune into episodes 12 and 13 to hear other matrescence stories) 

In this episode, Nikki and I also discuss: 

• The differences in healthcare, parental leave, and childcare in the UK, Canada, and the US 
• How society is failing in preparing mothers for the emotional changes and identity shift that come with motherhood
• The importance of exploring personal values and why self-discovery should be prioritized instead of fitting into traditional metrics
• The pressure to bounce back and return to pre-baby life and how this adds to the struggle of understanding one's new identity as a mother
• Navigating feelings of isolation and inadequacy in new motherhood

Nikki shares the importance of understanding matrescence and normalizes some of the hardships so many of us face in early motherhood.  Tune in and join the conversation as we dissect the need for societal change to better support mothers.

A note from Nikki:
"I'm a Brit, currently living in the USA away from friends and family. I'm married to my wonderful husband James, I have a rambunctious 2 year old little boy, and I also have a non-stop 4 year old pup called Dora. Our house is loud, high energy and messy (just to keep things in perspective!) I used to work in the corporate HR space for 14+ years, but recently took a career break to spend time with my son & explore some of my creative passions... Which brings me on to the.maternally .... an idea that I had when in the throes of postnatal depression and anxiety, and realised so much more needed to be done to support mums as they transition into and throughout motherhood. When I first stepped into the role of mum, I really needed an ally in my corner ... hence the.maternally was born!  I'm a motherhood ally, a matrescence educator, a fierce supporter of maternal mental health, a recovering people pleaser and perfectionist and a HUGE croissant lover! I'm just getting the.maternally off the ground and very much learning as I go, but I'd love for you to join my community!"

Is it your intuition or society's "to-do" list?
Have you ever stopped to check in with yourself and actually notice if that thing your doing (planning a wedding, preparing for a baby, or moving up in your career, etc) is guided by your intuition or just the next thing to cross off the (never ending) list of things society expects from you? 
I'm certainly guilty of living by default and getting wrapped up in the 'checklist',  striving to meet my next career goal and chasing society's definition of success... but this episode isn't about me! It's about Ashley! 
This week, I'm joined by Ashley Beatty who is a self development coach and fellow student in the Seasons of Matrescence® training I'm part of right now. She's also a mom and teacher from Ontario, Canada. Ashley shares her journey through motherhood and how she trusted her intuition while balancing her professional goals with the turbulence of new motherhood.  Listen in to uncover the wisdom she's gained along the way.  
We also explore:

• how to find alignment between professional goals, career and motherhood
• navigating expectations versus reality within new motherhood 
• the significance of investing in ourselves, avoiding the comparison game, and recognizing our own strengths and weaknesses
• how motherhood can be an opportunity to unearth new passions and find your true path in life 
• embracing and embodying the full spectrum of being a mom

Don't miss this uplifting and empowering episode as we continue to celebrate the resilience, strength, and wisdom of mothers everywhere.  And be sure to tune into Episode 12 and 14 to continue hearing vulnerable and inspirational stories from other moms in this (sort of unintentional) three part series on Matrescence! 

When not momming or teaching 8th grade, Ashley is self development coach who empowers women to discover who they are at their core through genuine and authentic connection. She supports working moms to live with greater alignment. To learn more about her 1:1 coaching offerings, check out her website here

Do you have a hard time trusting your intuition and end up following other people’s strategies in order to find success?  What if I told you that leaning into your intuition and simplifying what you can handle is the secret behind sustainable growth and success? 
This week, I'm joined by Gina DiSalvo and we dissect what it means to follow your intuition and focus on what you can actually manage in this season of your life. Gina is a backyard veggie gardener, wife and mom of 3 on a journey to self sufficiency. She doesn’t have much time to spend in the garden but loves growing food for her family that is nutrient dense and free of chemicals. We talked about the importance of simplicity and trusting the natural processes of growth, whether that's in the garden or in our own lives. Just like seeds and plants naturally want to grow, our babies and businesses have their own journeys and growth timeline.   
We also chatted about:

• Overcoming good girl conditioning
• Recognizing people-pleasing tendencies when you consider yourself a "rebel"
• Standing in your truth ,even around authority figures 
• Taking radical responsibility in your household 
• The simplest definition of trusting your intuition 
• Intuitive gardening and connecting to nature without adding to your to do list 
• ...and so much more! 

If you're a mom or a business owner looking for tips on finding balance and owning your authentic self, you don't want to miss this episode!

Long overdue solo episode! It's just me this week, giving you a little life update and sharing my own musings related to prioritizing rest, understanding my menstrual cycle and navigating my own nervous system health. 
In this episode , I share the humbling lesson I'm currently learning about saying no, setting boundaries, and not feeling like a failure for not meeting expectations. I also dive into my experience since restarting my menstrual cycle postpartum and how it's been a game changer for understanding my energy shifts throughout the month. And I discuss the concept of healing as an upward spiral and how revisiting triggers and moments of resistance indicate growth and progress!  I reflect on the discomforts in finding calm and ease in my life as a stay-at-home mom, podcaster, and business owner, and how it's positively impacted my nervous system.

Another solo episode sharing what's alive on my heart 💃
This week I continue to talk nerdy to you about the nervous system! I get into my own self shaming tendencies and share my personal experience currently thawing from a freeze response.  I explain why we need to stop looking at our nervous system with a binary lens and also discuss: 

• the importance of finding space for rest
• integrating slowness in your life to create space for joy
• understanding pleasure beyond sexuality 

The conversation highlights the importance of holding space for circumstances instead of trying to control, fix or micromanage.  This is an invitation to you to slow the f down and get curious about the symptoms in your body without judgment.
 
Questions to ponder: 

• How have societal pressures to perform or achieve impacted your self worth? 
• Have you ever found yourself believing that you have to work hard and endure suffering in order to experience pleasure and joy?
• How do you practice slowing down and creating space for rest in your own life? Are there any specific activities or rituals that you find helpful? Do you wait till it's too late 
• How do you personally experience the concept of intensity in your own life? Do you see it as a positive or negative?   

 
Books mentioned in this episode that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND 

1. The Healing Power of Pleasure: Seven Medicines for Rediscovering the Innate Joy of Being by Julia Paulette Hollenbery 
2. Call of the Wild by Kimberly Ann Johnson

How many times were you thinking "I wish someone would have told me this"  in the early weeks after having a baby?  
In this episode, Gaby and I chat all things postpartum including how to navigate the transition into early motherhood, the importance of  rest and deep nourishment, and why we need to start raising the bar in terms of societal expectations for the mother baby dyad. I also share a bit of my own early postpartum experience and things I wish I knew/did differently.  

We go on to to reflect on some parallels between birth and business, including the mystery behind creation, navigating the desire for external validation,  and how human design fits in to this. 

Gaby and I also discuss: 

• How to regulate and center yourself 
• The importance of identifying and voicing your needs 
• How to create and set boundaries 
• Emotional regulation in motherhood 
• Why you should stop seeking advice outside yourself

It's time to start rewriting the narrative on birth, postpartum, and business creation! 

Meet this week's guest:   
Gaby supports and walks alongside women to prepare for the most sacred transition (Birth and Postpartum) through online workshops, 1:1 virtual prenatal preparation, and in-person birth and postpartum support for NY moms.

In this episode, I'm joined by Gerry Tait who shares her own pregnancy and motherhood experience as well as her business birth story. She discusses how each have given her an opportunity to carve her own path in order to live life in alignment with her values and in support of her nervous system! 

Gerry and I also discuss: 

• Why we believe there should be more of an emphasis son personal development and self-discovery during the prenatal and postnatal period. Parenting starts in pregnancy. 
• The importance of self-compassion and deepening self-worth during this transformative time
• The connection between creating a successful business and being an authentic mother in tune with intuition and values
• How to work with your menstrual cycle,  and allowing your children to witness as a way of social change
• Making a conscious effort to prioritize self-care during the cycle and its benefits in all aspects of life
• Redefining success and consistency in motherhood and entrepreneurship 

Meet this weeks guest:
Gerry is a Childbirth Educator & Coach as well as a parent to two kids and a dog. She loves birth, but *really* cares about the people doing it. Her goal is to provide the education, strategy, and mindset support you need to birth, parent, and live like the badass you are.

Go ahead and call me a conspiracy theorist if you must..
These are my honest thoughts around the current fires happening on Maui and In BC.
Some things simply are not sitting right with me

BUT I think the WHY behind all these fires actually doesn’t even matter while they are STILL burning. My heart goes out to those impacted.  And our energy is best served holding space and compassion and not trying point fingers at this time

This episode feels a bit edgy for me because I’m not even clear on my own beliefs.   What I say/feel/think today might be completely different than what I think tomorrow and that’s ok!  

In this episode, I attempt to process some of what I've been feeling in response to the massive fires happening on Maui and across British Columbia and the NWT 
I also share a bit of my own uncertainty within my business, which listening back feels like peanuts compared to the rest of the weight I'm feeling. 
At the end of the episode, I share some tangible strategies I'm trying to implement to help ground and nourish me in these confusing times. 

I’ve carefully chosen certain organizations to donate to that disperse funds/resources DIRECTLY to families in need, I'll share them below if you feel called to donate with me!

This one is super vulnerable for me! 
It is also likely going to surprise some people, especially some of the people that have known me a long time. 

Thank you for holding space and witnessing me as I unravel and reclaim my own truth in real time. 

I invite you to dig deep and dissect some of your own beliefs around spirituality and religion. Asking yourself: 

• Are these beliefs my own? 
• How does patriarchal conditioning show up in my life?   
• What do words like witch, witchcraft,  church, God/Goddess, etc mean to me? 
• What do I feel in my body hearing these words?

This week I'm joined by Lizzie AKA Fierce Lizzie!!
In this episode, we chat all things related to birth, motherhood, running a business as a SAHM, and finding "balance" in this modern world . We share our experience healing from good girl conditioning, detaching from perfectionism and the A+ mentality and shifting the focus to connection instead of performance in our business and our mothering. 
We go behind the scenes of our own entrepreneurial and motherhood experience in this digital era including conversation around homeschooling, homebirth, cycle syncing, countercultural biz strategy (that fits in with motherhood) and parallels between business and birth. 
Lizzie opens up about her own journey of becoming a mother and reflects on how the availability of information and education has changed over the past 10 years. Lizzie and I share our own insights on the online coaching industry's focus on passive income and automation, highlighting the importance of connection with clients and being firmly grounded in one's own truth. 
We dive deep into business strategies and our experiences with different approaches, from live launching to evergreen courses. Lizzie discusses her decision to make changes to her birth course structure to align with her vision and create excitement among her clients.  We also explore Lizzie's experiences as a homeschool parent and the challenges of balancing homeschooling and work, as well as her strategies for finding nontraditional family time.
This conversation will likely inspire and empower you to embrace imperfections, redefine success, and create a life that aligns with your values.

Eden has been walking the path of awakening and remembering for years now, journeying into the depth of her being to call herself back home. She is multidimensional, multifaceted, and a mystic at heart. Eden is deeply passionate about authentic self expression and vulnerability, and has devoted much of the last 4 years to removing her layers of conditioning, people pleasing, and watering herself down, finding her true essence and expression at the core of her being. The unraveling never ends and she continually shows up for herself in this way, finding new stories and programming at the surface. Eden values story telling and sharing as a form of expression, and is constantly offering her experience as a mirror and reflection for others to witness.

Eden is in the midst of her Maiden to Mother initiation, and it has completely rocked her world, inviting her to walk a path that she had not yet expected to be on. Her surprise pregnancy has already stretched her in many physical, emotional, and energetic ways. 

In this episode, Eden shares moments of her personal and spiritual exploration with us, including how she: 

• got out of the cycles of self hated and victimhood 
• found her voice and stopped people pleasing 
• learned how to show up in relationship to feel safe and loved and give it back 
• cultivates a deep sense of self worth, self love and body acceptance during pregnancy 
• finds safety in self expression 

Together, Eden and I also delve into the fluidity of birth planning, detaching from outcome, protecting your energy and the importance of softening into our bodies innate wisdom 

This episode is sure to bring about reflection and inspiration as you weave in parallels from your own life with Eden's story

Podcast rebrand announcement and my own reflections around shifting identities, avoiding burnout, and navigating business creation through the lens of cyclical orientation

I share how I've been very  intentional with where my energy is going lately. Acknowledging that a loss in momentum can easily turn into a spiral of self shaming or labeled as "self-sabotage" or "procrastination"

Instead, I see this is a sacred pause, an intentional space to recenter and recalibrate and get clarity  so I can create from an embodied place in alignment with my values

#1 is to begin discerning between desire and obligation (aka STOP shoulding on yourself)

I invite you to practice this while listening to this episode. Take what you hear as inspiration.
It's not prescriptive!

What works for me might not work for you!

I also share share 3 tech alternatives to save you money:   
1. Milkshake
2. Tidycal
3. Thrivecart (👈 this is my affiliate link and I'll likely look like this 💃 if you decide to use it)

How often do we make things harder than they need to be due to our own agendas and attachments?? 
Once you become aware of this, it becomes apparent in both motherhood and entrepreneurship. 
In this episode,  I discuss how so often we as mother entrepreneurs can be our own worst enemy,  getting in our own way due to attachments to time and success. We can easily miss out on experiencing joy in the journey if we are always focussed on the future and thinking "if I could just have x, then I'll feel y".
I share my own musings around privilege versus taking intentional action and getting out of victimhood in our own lives. I delve into the idea of time flexibility, gratitude, and the belief that creating a life of abundance and freedom is possible for everyone. I invite you to consider your own journey as a mother entrepreneur and encourage you to celebrate the life you have built while taking intentional action towards the life you desire.
I also share several things I've done internally to help me get closer to creating a life of time freedom including:
- nervous system regulation
- openness to receive
- money mindset
- healing my wounded maiden archetype (victimhood)
- and finding joy and pleasure in the mundane moments so I'm not constantly seeking something outside of my current life

I would love to hear what lands for you! I hope this episode is both inspiring and thought provoking.  Connect with me on IG and let me know!

In this episode, I'm joined by fellow matrescence facilitator Kat Farrell Davis where we explore the depths of motherhood; including societal expectations, collective feelings of inadequacy and disconnection, and why we should rebirth the lost art of writing. 

Kat and I address our primal need for connection, and the generational impact mothering has on the world. We also discuss the importance of redefining success based on our own values, and the magic of embodied poetry. 

Kat believes we are all poets and introduces us to the idea of using poetry / storytelling as a tool for mothers to hone intuition, root into inner authority, and source resiliency, empowerment & community.  Kat sees writing as a small thread to dismantle the patriarchy and shift the paradigm. After listening to this episode, I think you'll agree!   

So grab your journal, because this conversation is both thought-provoking and soul-stirring. Get ready to unveil your inner poet as we journey together on the path to rewilding and embracing our true essence as mother entrepreneurs.

Meet Kat:
Kat is a poet, mother, matrescence facilitator & nature devotee. Through various containers, she offers generative writing circles, matrescence mentorship and postpartum support. You can find her rock hopping along the shores of southern Maine, wandering deep in the north woods, or online at www.katfarrelldavis.com

A conversation about embracing imposter syndrome, fine tuning the energy of your offer, matching the structure with your current capacity in this season, and ACTUALLY making money.

What conscious offer creation is NOT:

❎ Doing what your coach / favourite biz guru online does

❎ Believing that overdelivering equals more value (less can be more!!!)

❎ Pouring from an empty cup, not compensating yourself, mismatching your energy/capacity

What conscious creation is:

✅ Matching your capacity (boundaries, biz hours, etc)

✅ Tapping into the energy of your offer

✅ "profit first" pricing... if you're not making money, your business is just an expensive hobby

✅ Save the backend sh*t for later!!

Ways to currently work with me:

Join HELD - my monthly membership community (only $44/month) for conscious + curious women entrepreneurs desiring a landing place for integration, self exploration, and regenerative biz strategy

Join the waitlist for Recalibrate - my annual 6 month long mothermind (aka mastermind) for mother entrepreneurs ditching boss babe bull sh*t for a biz that breathes with every season

DM me on IG if you're desiring 1-1 mentorship, I have 2 spots available

Are you overcomplicating your self development, healing, and/or spiritual journey? Do you find yourself attaching to or outsourcing your intuition to certain "tools" or "methods"? Are you measuring your worth based off how well or how consistently you "use" these tools/methods? Are you struggling to tune out the noise of the outside world to hear your own truth?

Listen up!!!

"We are no longer bound to outside methods, structures, or rules for our healing"

In this episode, I'm joined by one of my mentor's Hannah Tovar, aka The Primal Priestess who teaches the methodless method to inner mastery! How simple can it be?

One of the most impactful things I've taken away from working with Hannah is bringing my awareness to the multidimensionality of literally all realms of my life in reflection of my own inner world. Hannah's work has taught me to simplify my personal growth and become a radical witness and co-creator of my own inner world.

With Hannah's guidance, I've began cleaning up my own energetic grid, and am proudly building a stable foundation for my business, my marriage, and my mothering to thrive on. This starts with a commitment to myself and a deepening of self worth and connection to intuition.

The work Hannah does is about simplifying and bringing form to some fluffy concepts in the spiritual and personal development space. I trust this episode will serve as a starting point if some of these concepts are new to you or be a humble invitation to deepen the work you've already started.

In this conversation, Hannah shines light on some tangible ways to support detaching from outcomes and trusting the Divine (God/Universe/Source) in business, birth, and relationships.

Together, we also explore:

• Recognizing and detaching from the distortion of giving power to others to measure our self-worth
• The NEED for validation, support, and connection in personal and professional growth
• Limitations of above-ground business coaching strategies and the impact of inner mastery on business, relationships, and self-development
• Ways to discern whether learning and certifications are driven by the intention of making money or self-discovery 🪞

Meet Hannah:

Hannah is a mother, wife, entrepreneur, and self-initiated mystic. Her medicine centers the space where birth, sex, and business meet. From here, she guides women in both intuitive frequency and tangible form to tap into free flowing cyclical creation. She is currently enrolling for her signature course, Inner Mastery - the methodless method to energy work. This is a 12-week group journey into guiding consciousnes, somatic embodiment, shadow integration, and practical manifestation through frequency fine-tuning.

In this episode, I'm THRILLED to be joined by Rachael Maddox.

Head Witch and Business Alchemist with over 15 years experience. Somatic Trauma Specialist who's supported over 1000 people on their post-traumatic growth journeys. 2-Time Author. Serial Creative. Mom to a very small rascal. And wife to a real life wizard.

Rachael is turned on by supporting World Changing Witches birth their most powerful contributions and experience wild abundance while doing so, and she’s devoted to pouring her genius into the cultivation of a more beautiful world.

In this episode, Rachael and I discuss: 

• Rachael's personal journey marrying her soul's aliveness
• More accurately defining the buzzy language of "somatic healing" and post traumatic growth
• How to cultivate safety (and sustainability) in seasons of change including the building phase and deconstruction
• The cultural trauma of capitalism and how this has created a collective hyper self-sufficiency  in entrepreneurship and motherhood
• The importance of real community aka coven creation (solidarity, celebration and support)
• How the innate need for belonging is stronger than the need for self expression and why this makes it hard to marry your soul’s true aliveness 
• The double edge sword of modern motherhood
• Entrepreneurship as a self initiation journey
• The importance of non-extractive and relational marketing/business creation 

This conversation is rich with personal anecdotes, wisdom, and practical advice, whether you're navigating the creative cycles of entrepreneurship or the patriarchal demands of motherhood.

This episode is a bit of a year end review/ramble. I share some of my own reflections with offer creation and mourning the end of my first cohort of my mastermind, Recalibrate. Tons to celebrate and tons to let go of to create space for what's to come.

I talk about the multi-dimensionality of life in regards to seasons and cycles: nature, menstrual, life, motherhood, and biz

And I share how I've been in this beautiful season of softening and tending to what is, instead of constantly trying to fix. I'm calling this my self-acceptance era after being on a pretty intense self development journey to the point of perfection.
