  • Welcome, everybody! This week, we are joined by Chris Greaves, husband to Elizabeth and proud father to Isabel (15), Camilla (7), and Natalie (3).

    I'm excited to share more about Natalie's journey into this world through a home birth.

    This episode is particularly special because it's the first time we've had a father on the show to share his story.

    Chris will take us through the preparation leading up to the big day, how he navigated his own concerns, and the valuable lessons he’s learned from this experience.

    Before we dive in, I want to take a moment to give a big shoutout to Elizabeth, Chris's wonderful wife.

    Elizabeth has just released a PDF birth guide called Coming Home, which is designed to help you understand physiological birth and make informed choices within your birth story.

    This guide includes two separate workbooks—one for the father and one for the mother—allowing couples to prepare together and also in their own unique ways.

  • We are joined by ⁠Uma Dinsmore-Tuli⁠, a leading expert in yoga therapy and women’s health. Uma’s journey with yoga began in 1969 at just four years old, and she has since become a renowned figure in the field, teaching since 1994 and authoring four influential books.

    In this episode, we cover a range of topics that are essential for mothers and women in general:

    Womb Reconnection: Uma shares the importance of reconnecting with the womb space as a source of profound wisdom and intuition.

    Mother-Centered Community: We discuss how modern motherhood has shifted away from communal support systems. Uma emphasizes the need to rebuild mother-centered communities that honor and support women's transitions.

    Signs of Exhaustion: Recognizing the signs of physical, emotional, and spiritual exhaustion and how to nourish the mother back to full health.

    Yoga Nidra and Quality Rest: She explains how this practice can be a powerful tool for mothers to recharge and reclaim their energy.

    Rising to Support One Another: We explore how women can rise to support one another.

    In addition to these insights, Uma’s extensive knowledge on yoga therapy for women’s health is highlighted through her books, including Yoni Shakti, Yoga Nidra Made Easy, and Nidra Shakti: An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Yoga Nidra.

    Her work is supported by certifications from the International Association of Yoga Therapists and diplomas from the Yoga Biomedical Trust and Mukunda Stiles, blending traditional teachings with contemporary insights.

    Uma has also created a library of free Yoga Nidra recordings available to support and deepen your practice (See below)

  • In this week's episode, your host Danielle reconnects with Lauren, a friend from her early military career. After many years, they reunite to discuss Lauren's decision to remove her breast implants.

    Lauren, now 34, is a mother, wife, friend, soldier, and an avid gym and running enthusiast. She resides in Worcestershire with her husband, their 2.5-year-old daughter, and their dog.

    Lauren's perspective on life has shifted significantly since becoming a mother. She is on a path of self-discovery, working through childhood trauma, reclaiming her body, and striving to undo years of self-hatred.

    She aims to set a positive example for her daughter and women everywhere who struggle in a society that imposes unrealistic expectations on appearance and behavior.

    The conversation delves deeply into Lauren's decision to remove her breast implants, known as breast explant surgery.

    She shares her initial decision to get implants while still serving in the military and the health issues that emerged, leading to her choice to have them removed. Despite the health challenges, this journey has allowed Lauren to reconnect with herself, question societal influences, and embrace her true self.

    In this episode, we dive into the holistic journey of fertility and preconception, focusing on integrating mind, body, and spirit.

    There's an overwhelming amount of information out there—some of it helpful, but much of it may induce unnecessary fear.

    It's easy to get lost in the endless to-do lists and protocols, which can overshadow the importance of just being present.
