Takeaways
Sylvia's journey began with her pregnancy and birth experience. The perception of birth can be influenced by family narratives. Setting boundaries is crucial for a positive birthing experience. Natural oils can provide effective sun protection. Sunscreen chemicals can accumulate in the body and breast milk. Astaxanthin is a powerful supplement for skin resilience. Understanding the relationship between diet and skin health is essential. Natural alternatives to sunscreen are not just alternatives; they are by design. Sunscreen chemicals are significant environmental pollutants. Empowering others with knowledge about natural living is Sylvia's mission.Were you inspired by what you heard in this episode?

Preparation for birth involves both physical and mental readiness. Labor can be unpredictable and intense, requiring flexibility. The experience of birth can vary greatly between children. Postpartum emotions can include unexpected grief and joy. Involving older siblings in the birth process can be beneficial. Expectations for subsequent births may not align with reality.

Key takeaways from this conversation:
takeaways
Induction carries significant risks that are often not communicated to patients. Informed consent is crucial in medical procedures, especially during childbirth. Uterine rupture is a serious complication that can occur during induction. Katie experienced a traumatic birth that led to severe complications for her and her baby. The healthcare system can sometimes fail patients, leading to tragic outcomes. Grief for a child with severe health issues is complex and ongoing. It's important to advocate for oneself and seek second opinions in healthcare. Researching medical options and understanding risks is essential for expectant mothers. Katie's experience highlights the emotional toll on families dealing with medical trauma. Finding a supportive healthcare provider is key to navigating complex medical situations. -

In this episode, I discuss the closing of the bones ceremony, a postpartum practice that brings women back to themselves after giving birth. We explore the cultural and historical significance of the ceremony, highlighting its presence in various cultures around the world. I interview Japjeet, who teaches the closing of the bones ceremony through the lineage of Ecuadorian shaman and healer RocĂo AlarcĂłn. We discuss the different techniques and variations of the ceremony, emphasizing the importance of postpartum care and support for new mothers. Closing the Bones is a postpartum healing ceremony that involves a combination of massage, energy work, and wrapping the body with cloth. The ceremony focuses on bringing fluidity and movement back to the body, particularly the abdomen, hips, and pelvis. It helps to release tension, realign organs, and promote relaxation. The wrapping of the body with rebozos (traditional Mexican shawls) creates a sense of deep relaxation and allows for reflection and integration of the birth experience. Closing the Bones is not only a physical practice but also an emotional and mental journey of self-discovery and empowerment as a mother.

In this episode, I speak with my friend Astrid about her birth experiences. We discuss Astrid's perception of birth growing up, her previous births, and the planning for her third child, Frankie. Astrid shares how her partner's brain tumor diagnosis affected her pregnancy and birth plans. Despite the challenges, Astrid advocated for a home birth and had to navigate the fear of induction. Astrid's story highlights the importance of trusting one's body and making informed decisions during pregnancy and birth. She also talks about the emotional journey she went through leading up to the birth and the deep connection she felt with her baby once she was born. Astrid's story is a true testament to the strength and resilience of women in childbirth.

In this episode, I follow up on the previous interview about birth trauma by discussing healing birth trauma with Melissa, a healing birth specialist. Melissa shares her personal experience of traumatic birth and how it led her to work with women on healing their own birth experiences. We discuss the importance of support and understanding for women who have experienced birth trauma, the long journey of healing, and the impact of birth imprints on future generations. We explore how friends and family can best support someone who has gone through birth trauma. The conversation emphasizes the need for women to trust their intuition and take responsibility for their birth experiences. The conversation concludes with advice on navigating sex postpartum after a traumatic birth.
