From The Heart

All references in previous episodes.

This meditation is a sweet reminder for pregnant women and their support people of what is to come.

From Mind Over Labour

As of May 2026, there has been more awareness about the increase of MMR.

The SOGC has come out in June of 2026 saying that MMR has been increasing for 30 yrs. Why the silence for 30 yrs? There is a committee being formed now: https://sogc.org/en/en/content/events/HUB-Pages/Prevention_of_Maternal_Mortality_in_Canada.aspx

Looking at data is bringing awareness to the cause in increased mortality. https://www.thinkglobalhealth.org/article/the-mysterious-rise-in-canadas-maternal-mortality

I unbamboozle and continue to push for transparency and enumerate some first steps in the stop of MMR.

It is a privilege to be alive and speak and make a fool out of one self for the purpose of something BEYOND IMPORTANT!

Statistics are NOT statistics! They are people!

Other "recommendations"/options told or done to women in the last decade:

- low dose aspirin

- vaginal chlorexidine before CS

Remind me of what other recommendations have changed in the last decade. I will look them up carefully when I have the chance.

When French journalist France Pierron called birth "a disgusting moment where the dad is completely useless," she sparked a conversation that goes far deeper than she could have imagined. In this episode of From The Heart, Lyanne reflects on what that comment really reveals — not just about one woman's opinion, but about the shame so many of us have inherited and what we deserve.

With over a thousand births attended, Lyanne shares why the presence of a support person isn't just nice to have — it's crucial.

This episode explores:

- What it really means to show up — physically, emotionally, and mentally

- Why strength doesn't require competition, and why choosing family is never useless

After re-listening to Sara's birth stories and how Sara delivered fast and unattended with her second baby, I looked up online what was posted for clients to see and review about this topic. I wasn't thrilled with the info. So here is the info that I consider important. Here are some videos of unattended births:https://www.instagram.com/p/DXTuvCFJRqX/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXEZ6g2WLoM

Recorded in 2025

Today’s conversation is an important one. I’m joined by Christopher Balkaran, someone who isn’t afraid to go deep into topics that often get overlooked—or oversimplified. Christopher is objective, factual, and brings much-needed nuance to complex issues.

At a time when so much attention is focused on immigration enforcement in the U.S., particularly around ICE, we turn our lens to what’s happening here in Canada. Why is immigration suddenly so controversial? What’s actually changed over the last few years?

In this episode, Christopher unpacks the realities behind the headlines—looking at health care impacts, workforce pressures, criminal law differences, and the policies shaping who comes in and how decisions are made. This is a conversation about facts, context, and consequences—beyond fear-based narratives.

If you’ve been feeling confused, concerned, or simply wanting a clearer picture of what’s really going on with immigration in Canada, this episode is for you.
