Today on the show, McLean is joined by her good friend Emily Stanwyck. A mom of two, wife, trainer & BIRTHFIT Coach, and a birth doula, Emily has a vast amount of experience in the wellness and birthing world. She works advocating for freedom, informed consent, and birthing out of the medical system. She teaches birth education and leads a year long doula training and mentorship program in the hopes that more women will stand up for their rights in the face of childbirth so that they can feel empowered, whole, and complete when she brings a child into the world and becomes a mother! Today, she and McLean dive deep into the world of birthing. Listen as they chat about the birthing wisdom we’ve allowed ourselves to forget, why women need to learn how to trust their bodies again, and rethinking the role men should play in labor and delivery. 

In this episode of Mother the Mother:

• Creating new paradigms with old wisdom
• How women can use birth as an opportunity to take back their power  
• Reclaiming female-centered birth experiences 
• Why neutrality isn’t the answer when it comes to birth

Treating Yourself: 

If you feel like treating yourself with some Organic and Nutrient-dense power food teas, hot chocolates, tonics, and green juice from Organifi. Use my code “mother” at checkout to always receive 15% off your purchase. I have been loving adding in both Green and Gold juices as part of my daily routine. 

Also, an amazing company that I LOVE for Prenatal, Postnatal, and Motherhood Nutrition is https://thisisneeded.com use my code “motherthemother” at check-out for 20%. They focus on helping women thrive nutritionally during pregnancy and afterward. Most prenatal vitamins are subpar and leave expectant Mamas lacking in crucial nutrients. I personally have been loving the collagen and protein powder recently as I healed my injured leg. And even 3.5 years out, I still am laser-focused on building back my tissues after the birth of my second daughter. 

Healy:

The Healy Device is a Holistic Frequency machine that is portable and uses a microcurrent frequency (IMF) to boost your health. It is the size of a credit card so can be used anywhere at any time.  Its programs scan your personal system for what it needs in real time and suggest frequency programs to run in order to help you reach optimization. There are a few different levels of devices depending upon your personal and professional needs. I own the professional grade device and it has rocked my world in the best possible way since I started using it. I feel a massive energetic shift for the better. If you are interested, please DM me on Instagram to discuss or schedule a call at this link here!

I see you, I hear you, I love you.

Jai Ma.
