Now that the adrenaline and the newness of bringing baby home fades... reality kicks in. Sleep deprivation. Painful breastfeeding. Anxiety. Depression. Literally all the things no one tells you about when you were blissfully  pregnant and ignorant to it all! The most comforting thing I heard when I was in the trenches of newbornness was, "this too shall pass." The good, the bad, and the ugly, these small moments will be memories you will look back and smile on. So embrace every moment. These moments shall pass. 

Congratulations momma! You made it! You did it! But wait... postpartum though... Sis, it has only begun, but you got this. Let's walk through these first 2 weeks together. 

I have my friend Liz on to this podcast to talk about her process of pain and loss through miscarriage. I am so thankful for her vulnerability. 

Guided meditation starts at 27 minutes. 

It is no fun to experience complications in pregnancy or birth. New diagnosis. Risks. Emergency c-section. NICU stays. These surprises are scary, shocking, and sometimes lead to self shame. "My body is inadequate... I did something wrong" I thought.  Friends, it quite the opposite. It takes bravery and courage to walk through anything abnormal and to adapt to change. Let's get up, look at our circumstances straight in the eye, and conquer it.  You got this momma. You are very brave and strong. 

Natural childbirth is possible. This episode gives you the tools to strengthen your mind for childbirth. Practice this before labor. And sink into it when you start to feel pain. Contractions come and go like waves that come up to touch your feet then goes back into the vast ocean. You may suffer for a little while but your reward will be great. 

Good luck mommas! You got this!

So you're pregnant! Your body is changing in order to make a safe and happy home for your growing baby. 

Recognizing your soul can be a bit of a challenge; especially if you had to fight for safety and peace in your body and mind first. The soul tends to be ignored because it seems more like a luxury to tend and more intimidating to explore because of its' wild and mysterious nature . In this episode I guide you on a journey of your soul that will help you connect with your soul, evaluate its' needs, and to link you to the Source of life - for me it is God.  All you need is to sit back, and engage your imagination. 

Ever felt like you didn't know what else to say or do? Feeling hopeless in your journey to see breakthrough? I was there too, and I finally broke, and asked the Lord to teach me how to pray. This is no elementary thing! It's something you grow and cultivate in relation to a good BIG God! Take a listen and start praying with power and authority! You need it! The world needs it!
