This week Brianna discusses how scar tissue can effect women's health and how to heal it. 

After experiencing a radical hysterectomy in 2015, Dionne quickly learned how little support there is for women post surgery. She first discovered a drastic impact on her sleep due to the change in hormones, then she learned she would not only have to advocate for her health, but help to educate her doctors along the way. 

With 27 years of experience as a therapist, Dionne has created various services and products to inform, instruct & give practical advice to women. She is passionate about helping other women and spreading awareness of the heroine's journey of hysterectomy women. 

In this episode you will learn:

• the various levels of a hysterectomy
• how scar tissue effects other areas of your health & how to heal it
• this practice can be applied to any abdominal surgery; ie appendectomy, c-section, laparoscopy  or any degree of hysterectomy

If you've been hearing a lot of talk about "default parents" recently, it's not just in your head. The controversial buzz word is yet again trending on social media, with more moms opening up about the burnout they're experiencing being the first-in-line person for all things kid-related.

The ‘default parent’ topic is, however, not a new phenomenon. Since women started returning to the workforce after having children, there has been an undeniable pressure on women to do it all. In order to start dismantling the ‘hustle mindset’ that has been instilled in women over the years, it’s going to require a frank, honest, and ongoing conversation with your partner about how ‘default parent syndrome’ might be showing up in your family and the feelings it provokes.

In this episode, Brianna and Mark discuss:

• Different ways to implement support for the ‘default parent’
• How to avoid burnout and resentment of your partner
• The impact of different parenting styles on ‘default parent syndrome’ 
• How moving away from multi-generational living has affected this phenomenon
• Tips that have helped Brianna and Mark balance responsibilities and navigate conversations around dividing roles

At a recent retreat, I was lucky enough to meet Astrid Eden.  Astrid is a psychedelic sex witch, who supports clients with healing and transformation using holistic sex coaching and microdose consulting, as well as magic. 

Her energy was nothing short of magnetizing, and what fascinated me the most was how she tapped into her inner feminine. But it hasn’t always been this way for Astrid. After rejecting herself in her first marriage, suppressing her truth and how she wanted to live and express herself, Astrid suffered the painful experience of divorce and punished herself for what she deemed a failure. 

In this episode, I got to chat with Astrid about her journey to cultivating a healthy, beautiful relationship with her inner feminine. She also reminds us of the importance of having compassion and empathy for ourselves, especially if we are in a place of rejection, separation, or divorce.

• How you can differentiate and elevate the Self so it can be an effective leader in the system
