Why our hormones are so out of whack? and why so many people are experiencing symptoms of hormone imbalances and being told the only option is birth control?

In this conversation with Dr. Natalia today we are going to discuss what this all means.

What makes Dr. Natalia unique is that she really digs into how an individual's internal and external environment and how it is impacting their body. Their physical environment (connection to nature), their toxic exposures, their sense of purpose, having community, mindset & your relationship to self and their cycle, etc.

Does this feel like you?

You are burnt out, and are experiencing a drop in desire following the weight of the mental load from day to day chores.

You have a male partner who is not understanding the complexity of where you are at and does not understand how you work to get in the mood to feel safe and connected before feeling desired?

Then this episode is for you!

Ashley Mariani who is a social worker specializing in couples therapy helps us understand that a woman's brain is not designed to feel desire towards the humans she is raising, hence lack of sex and intimacy.

If we want our male partners to take initiative we need to understand that most lack this right of passage into manhood and some even into fatherhood... this becomes a fine balance between women not allowing managerial parts ,like the controller, to take up space when male partners are attempting to make change.

There was a lot of ah ha moments in this episode especially understanding how our nervous system responds to these feelings and how to work through it

Please stay tunes for part 2 (not recorded yet)

What is your why? Why do you do what you do?

This question is similar to that feeling when you are in an interview and they ask yourself where do yourself in 5 years?

And your thinking to yourself. Well hopefully I am still here, farther ahead then I am now and....

Then I stop. I don't want to think to far ahead because well what if things don't come true. I don't want to be disappointed.

That is how I felt when I got asked the question, what is your why, Why do I do what I do, where do you see yourself..... ugh...... blank stare.

I want to lose weight because I want to feel better in my clothing. I want to feel confident. I want people to like me.

That is how my why started and to me at the time. That was all I needed to get my butt in to gear and that is what I want to talk about is how I started and how my why got deeper as I got older, transitioned, evolved, whatever you want to call it.

We know motivation dies, and that is where the why comes in.

I wanted to share my start on my journey to 'greatness'. It is in quotations because GREATNESS is always evolving and at the end of the day we all have our own version of what greatness is and as long as we are able to sleep with our own version of greatness then you and we are winning.

In this episode Erin and I reflect back on previous episodes with our amazing guests and talk about our own journey when it comes to pelvic health.

Understanding the body takes time and is a life long commitment. This episode is to share our thoughts and opinions. We are not doctors or medical professionals. Please do your own research when it comes to your health journey.

This episode for myself was not an easy one to record as it deals with some challenges I went through in my past but one thing I know for sure is that sharing and talking about these experiences helps people to not feel alone and that is why I continue to share my journey as well as Erin to share hers.

Hello HIG Listeners!

I have a new podcast episode for you this morning with Pelvic Floor Doula Steph Bouwman all around fitness and pelvic health as there are so many misconceptions about lifting weights during pregnancy and postpartum. 

You’ve just had your baby, and chances are one of the first things on your mind is “when can I start exercising again?” The most common piece of advice is to wait until your 6-week postpartum appointment, where your doctor or midwife will discharge you and officially give you the all clear. But what happens when you don’t feel ready? Or you're not sleeping? Or things still feel weird down there?

In this episode Steph Bouwman will talk about her story as well as will help guide you back and not feel alone and you will walk away with some advice on how to realign with yourself so you can show up as the strong and amazing being that you are! The biggest advice that we are here to give you is not to be afraid to ask questions, especially if you feel something is off. You know your body best, and the more knowledge you have about your body the stronger and healthier you can be for your baby. Hope that you enjoy this episode!

Many people these days are walking around and are unaware about their emotional pain and how it is limiting their capacity for happiness. Many try to resolve their pain unresolved emotions through traditional ways. And although that is great, they are being proactive. Sometimes doing the same thing over again and again can make you feel crazy and stuck. This was me.

Today I will be sharing how the Grief Recovery program helped me with the one and only Tammy Adams who is a Coach Practitioner who specializes in Grief Recovery.

Grief not only affects our happiness but it also affects our self esteem. I believe this is something that keeps us back with not knowing how to resolve and let go.

In this episode Tammy and I will be discussing

What is Grief?

Does grief show up even when we make the best decisions for ourselves?

Are their stages to grief?

How can we move forward?

What is emotional pain?

Normalizing grief through conversation and education.
