How can the birth of a child uncover hidden strengths and lead to profound personal growth? Join us for a heartfelt conversation with Lizzy Liao, a holistic wellness coach devoted to supporting women through the transformative journey of motherhood. Lizzy’s own experience of becoming a mother during the COVID-19 pandemic offered invaluable lessons in self-discovery, healing, and preparation for parenthood. Drawing from the principles of Internal Family Systems, Lizzy helps parents embrace and integrate all parts of themselves, fostering a more holistic and empowered approach to parenting.


In this episode, we also explore the crucial process of birth story processing and the essential steps for addressing birth trauma. Whether medically traumatic or deceptively straightforward, every birth experience deserves recognition and healing. Lizzy shares her insights into how transformative sessions can help mothers reflect on their experiences and find growth and healing.


We also navigate the complex emotions that motherhood can bring, touching on the unique challenges of home birth during a pandemic, postpartum resentment, and envy. Olivia shares her intense home birth story, revealing the physical and emotional toll it took and her journey toward recovery. Through guided meditations and reflective practices, we discuss the societal pressures that often silence mothers' pain. This episode creates a compassionate space to acknowledge difficult emotions, while celebrating the strength that comes from vulnerability and acceptance.
