Mama Circles, Meditation & Transformation with Taryn Longo

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be surrounded by empowering women?

Taryn Longo did, which is why she's dediced to create women and mama circles in their local communities. "I wanted to be an empowered woman and I knew that that meant surrounding myself with a group of empowered women."

As a way to break free from her destructive lifestyle in her early 20's - Taryn started healing her emotional and physical pain by doing meditation and meeting up with other women that she knew could support her through her transformation. These meetups ended up turning into women's circles and eventually mama circles that Taryn hosted to help women just like her feel empowered through life, birth and motherhood. Now after doing this for over 5 years - Taryn is a transformational teacher for women, specializing in the areas of pregnancy and motherhood. She is the co-founder of Birth Transformed, an approach to pregnancy + birth that teaches a command over your mind in coordination with a setting free of the heart.

In today's episode Taryn talks to us about her personal jouney from hitting rock bottom to finding meditation, to becoming a mother and now to creating and helping other women create women and mama circles all over.
