Katherine Finley from Sovereign Heart Coaching specialises in trauma healing, and joins us today to talk about her and her daughters attachment trauma post their natural birth in hospital, when they were separated for 2.5 hours immediately after birth.   

How did they overcome their trauma?  Was it worth revisiting?  Why is post traumatic growth an opportunity for incredible healing?

Katherine talks to us about how we can align to our Source connection and to our embodied Knowing in the present time after a traumatic event, so that we can trust our moment to moment decisions, whilst honouring the gift of adaptability. 

The mind should be service to the heart and the gut (intuition),by integrating its energies into the body.

Tune in to learn about the healing properties of surrender and much more in todays juicy episode!

Here's my take on what it feels like to be with child during the Great Awakening, let alone being a mumma to several ankle biters already!  

Crazy times like these call for extra digging deep abilities to unearth the treasures that are hiding under the surface of all the doom and gloom.  

Shine bright fellow mummas....for we are the glue that holds our communities together, we have the abilities to radiate hope & our attitudes can play a huge role in creating an amazing future World for our babies.  

Sending so much love your way....you beautiful diamond Xxx 

Yolande from the Free Birthing Society and founder of Bauhauswife, shares her awe-inspiring journey as a naturally birthing mother to 8 babies...yes 8 babies!... and how at the tender age of 19 she discovered free-birthing with her 1st, which left her forever transformed.    

Riddled with what the medical profession would have labelled as severe complications requiring a C section, Yolande overcame many "issues" in the lead up & during this first birth, which was instrumental in highlighting how her female body was in fact not flawed, yet extremely trustworthy, capable and frankly magnificent!    

Yolande has made it her quest to share the undeniable benefits of this sovereign birthing right of passage with other women who wish to avoid interventions, medications and misogynistic protocols, which predominantly end in trauma for both mother and child due to unnecessary obstetric violence.

In today's episode I'm sharing why I find natural childbirth so utterly awe inspiring.  Sound crazy?  Yeh, I totally get it!  If you had told me 12 years ago that THESE words would be coming out of MY mouth, I would have choked on my white wine (aaah those were the days) in both bewilderment and horror for sure!!  

So please, hear me out and humour me for just 20 short minutes...you never know, it might even change your life Xx 

Hey Beautiful Mumma!

Join me recalling my fond memories of Jesse being born into our spanish home, a mere 6 years ago.  Jesse's birth is strictly speaking the only real, official home birth we've experienced...out of 5 babies!

His birth was when I truly unearthed and unleashed my inner birthing goddess.  This time around I was a more veteran birther so to speak, and so I approached this one with so much more wisdom, gleaned from his 2 older brothers previous births.  

I knew how very integral my birthing environment was both inside and outside of me, exactly how I needed my support crew to show up and was fully aware of how I could best help myself, through this awe inspiring transition of bringing a life earth side, in the most peaceful & loving way.

I hope you can gain some helpful insights from this raw & intimate episode, so that you don't have to wait until your 3rd time lucky to feel like you've mastered natural birth.

Love as always,

Chrissi Xxx

Vee, a pediatric nurse, is a mumma to 3 little ankle biters and due with her fourth in only 2 months time.  

So far she has had 3 entirely different birth scenarios unfold and she patiently talks us through why she thinks they evolved into being the way they did.  These truly fascinating realisations are pure gold, as we all stand to benefit from learning about what is likely to unfold during birth, in given situations and scenarios.  

Vee also explains why giving birth naturally in a hospital is her safe space, which again makes for really interesting listening for those of you who feel the same way, as her tips on staying empowered within this dynamic are invaluable.

Feel free to reach out to Vee if you have any questions...she's happy to help you in any way that she can!
