Sit back, kick your feet up and enjoy this very special episode with my dear friend, Grace! Grace & I haven't known each other very long but our first conversation (this one) was one for the books. I felt a very deep connection to her and her spirit. She is kind hearted, intuitive, and super chill. I love how she speaks + writes and I know you will too!

In this episode we chat about getting off birth control + what that looked like for her. We also ended up talking about her journey back to self through some testing times as a child and how that has led her to evolve into the woman she is today. Get ready to be inspired.

I myself have lost touch with my intuition. I have listened to friends and family who only wanted the best for me but at the end of the day I have always known what was best for me even when my ego thought I didn't. Recently, I've began connecting to my intuition again through yoga, deep meditations and continuously checking in with my body.

Joey (Johanna) is my cousin who is a RYT, RPYT & Reiki Master Practitioner! She has inspired me to add these tools to my tool belt because I have seen the profound outcomes from incorporating these practices whether it be for myself or for my clients. Nutrition and proper supplementation can only do so much to heal. They are an important part of the puzzle but we have to address stuck energy within the body. Get out of our minds into our bodies. 

Joey and I sat down to chat about where the heck to begin tapping into our intuition. Joey shares some techniques she loves to incorporate! Ultimately, our intuition is our best guide throughout life - so why not connect daily?

Join Taylor & I as we sit down and chat about her journey with pregnancy and birth with her first baby girl, Isabel. Taylor & I were in the same FNTP program and became really close. In the midst of our program, Taylor found out she was pregnant! Caught by surprise, Taylor still ensured she did her own research to make sure she was doing what felt right with HER pregnancy. She sought out help and searched up and down for resources. She created a phenomenal birth team and plan so she could have a safe and healthy pregnancy & birth. 

Taylor and I chatted about her home birth, who she had on her team, breastfeeding, vaccinations, a mapped out food plan for Isabel and SO much more. 

This episode is not to be taken as medical advice but as some insight from a couple of FNTP's and a mama's experience. At the end of the day, we want every mama to be informed when they make family decisions and so it feels right - not just because someone is telling you to do something.
