Today we have an incredible story of the births of Mai’s boys. Mai is a Muslim homeschooling mama who currently lives in Montreal. In this episode, we discuss how she went into her first birth openly trusting the medical system and doctors. She had a difficult experience, leaving her with a 4th degree tear. The tear healed beautifully thanks to her culture’s respect of the postpartum period. She also came out of her birth determined to find answers and a better way to birth her children. This led her to begging her way into a midwifery clinic and having a beautiful undisturbed, unmedicated, empowered birth. This is a story of finding trust in oneself and of a woman learning to listen to herself and her body. “Birth is a powerful emotional transformative experience for a woman”.

Today we have a very special guest, my youngest sister Camille. In this episode, we speak honestly about how she witnessed my two depression episodes once as a high school student and again as a university student athlete. Her strength never ceases to surprise me. I go deeper in detail about visits to the hospital and how bad things really got. If you know me now, you might not think I ever got that bad...that close to taking my own life. Here I am 5 years later with zero anxiety or depression and grounded enough in my life to share these experiences.

We are so lucky to be joined by Amanda Mathers from @my_holistic_home who is a homeschooling high raw vegan mama of 4, wife and herbalist while managing her mini homestead in Ontario, Canada. We discuss how she healed naturally from PCOS, postpartum burnout and anxiety, birth control and herbal medicine. For questions or feedback you can contact Amanda on her Instagram or myself @thisrawmomlife. Enjoy!
