Mother Muse

What if the advice everyone gives about conception is only half true? In this episode, I share why the real shift wasn’t forcing myself to “just relax,” but finding a sense of safety, openness, and creative fulfillment that changed how I experienced the journey. I talk about my own path through years of intuitive spirit baby work, early grief, and the pressure of trying to do everything right. My breakthrough came when I stopped chasing and started creating. If you’re trying to conceive, healing after loss, or feeling stuck in the effort of it all, I hope this conversation feels like company. My journey took me from client readings and intuition training to a miscarriage, a full-time reset as a waitress, and then a spark of inspiration from reading romance and fantasy. That spark eventually led me to write my own romantasy books. Creative fire became an unexpected part of my story - not because I stopped wanting a baby, but because it helped me want from a place of peace instead of panic. In this episode, I explore:

* Why “just relax” is incomplete advice when you’re trying to conceive

* How safety, openness, and neutrality can shift the experience

* The role hobbies, creativity, and joy can play along the way

* What I’ve come to believe about spirit babies and living in alignment with what you truly desire

* How writing romance became part of my conception story

I also reflect on the emotional aftermath of loss, the difference between inspired action and frantic effort, and how creating something you’re proud of can help you reconnect with your body, intuition, and future.If you’re on a conception journey, navigating postpartum, or wondering whether your next breakthrough might come from building a life you love, I hope this episode speaks to you.

Miserable mom culture is breaking down, and Kaisha Slaughter explains why intuition, not guilt, is the way out. If you have ever felt overwhelmed by postpartum depression, ignored your own instincts, or wondered why motherhood can feel like losing yourself, this conversation will hit hard. Mother Muse host Kate Dove sits down with Kaisha Slaughter, intuitive energetic healer, medium, spiritual teacher, and host of the MILF Era podcast, for a raw conversation about postpartum healing, C-sections, and reclaiming your power as a mom. Kaisha shares how training her intuition helped her move from years of postpartum rage, anxiety, and depression into a radically different experience with her second baby.You’ll discover:

* The difference between being a psychic medium and a trained intuitive

* Why so many moms get drowned out by outside opinions and how to trust yourself again

* How Kaisha used intuition and neuroscience to heal her body, shift her mindset, and rebuild her life

* Why C-sections, pelvic floor pain, breastfeeding guilt, and postpartum rage can all carry deeper emotional meaning

* What “MILF energy” actually means and why it starts with self-love, not external validation

Kate and Kaisha also get real about the pressure moms face to become smaller, quieter, and less visible after having children. Keisha breaks down the programming that tells women they are “just moms,” why that belief can keep you stuck in shame and burnout, and how small daily choices can help you put yourself first without guilt.If you’re in the thick of postpartum, trying to make sense of your body, or ready to stop outsourcing your decisions to everyone else, this episode offers both permission and practical tools. Essential listening if you want to feel more confident, more grounded, and more like yourself again.

Motherhood has changed my identity, my emotions, and everything I thought I had under control. In this first episode of Mother Muse, I’m sharing the raw reality of being seven weeks postpartum after an emergency C-section, moving through baby blues and imposter syndrome, and learning to see fear as something that can guide me instead of stop me.

We talk about how the fears that scare us most may be pointing toward our next breakthrough, why postpartum can feel like both a breakdown and a rebirth, and how motherhood brought this podcast to life.

I also share the spiritual beliefs that helped me through this transition—including why I believe my son chose me—and the lessons I’m learning about identity, purpose, and becoming someone new.If you’re a new mother, longing for motherhood, or moving through a transformation that feels bigger than you, this episode is for you.

You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin. You just need to keep moving toward the person you’re becoming.

The Mother Muse era is officially here

It’s 7:45pm, my husband has gone on a Costco run, and I’m typing this as my son attacks my breast like a piranha!

After experiencing a beautiful pregnancy, my little guy decided to come 10 days past my due date. In the final days of waiting for his arrival, I made a decision that probably wouldn’t make sense to a lot of people, but offered me the spiritual completion I felt was necessary in the transition from maiden to mother.

I had trained my pelvic floor and mind for an unmedicated, physiological birth. I mean, I became obsessed. I’ve always loved learning about pregnancy and birth, but going through it myself gave me a sense of fulfillment that I always knew I had.

The piece that was unexpected?

My “what ifs” came true.

I had made peace with the concept of them before birth, but little did I know it would actually happen.

This is the story of my wild, unconventional, emergency C-section birth.

Over 24 hours of back labor.

My water breaking more dramatically than a Hollywood movie.

My son’s heart rate dipping into the 30s after trying different positions, scalp massage, and an epidural, when I was rushed to the OR.

We are here; alive, safe, and healthy.

My double Leo son has activated the sleeping lioness within me, and we are just getting started.

As the next chapter of life begins to unfold, grief clouds around me like fog. But not the kind that would otherwise make the air humid, or the chest tight. Instead, it feels like a cocoon; a quiet place to retreat before the next events arrive. The Glow Code podcast’s first episode arrived on August 1st, 2025. It has held beautiful conversations about femininity, manifesting, and arriving into a new, sovereign identity. The occurrence of those themes amplifying in my life at 35 weeks pregnant has led into the next evolution of who I am as a speaker, writer, and teacher, and what I desire to share with the world.

*apologies ahead of time for the audio clicks!

“The Glow Code” podcast will be retiring, and “Mother Muse” will be born on September 25th, 2026. Listen for the full update, and what’s to come.

What you do in the world isn’t an obligation; it’s a calling.

Many of us have walked the path of curiosity; of asking “who am I?” And “what is my purpose?”

In a fast-paced world, we can end up moving in such a rush as if God/Universe gave us only 2 seconds on a clock to accomplish everything we want in this lifetime.

There are two types of time that the Ancient Greeks believed in:

Chronos: Measurable, Quantitative time

Kairos: Opportune, Qualitative Time

And one of those types of times begins to orbit us when we are on our soul pull and falling in love with the journey, not just the destination

Me and my doula Britt Mason are back with part 2!

*Uploading this at 30 weeks pregnant tomorrow!

My doula and I are back with another Q&A! In our first appointment together, we got to talking about sound and expression after I had shared my journey with vaginismus pre-pregnancy.

We took what we discussed of feeling safe in the body, and how the relationship to intimacy and birth relate, and put together another Q&A for you guys! Stay tuned for part 2!

“Letting go” is a concept commonly thought of as one of the last stages of manifestation; the thing you do after setting intentions, creating vision boards, and keeping up with your daily affirmations.

Some see letting go as giving up.

Others see it as a hopeful state of surrender, when you don’t know what possibly more you could do to bring your desire into the 3D, and now you’re taking your foot off the gas pedal.

However, ‘letting go’ isn’t the other side of the pendulum swing; it’s a stage that can be reinforced from the very beginning of the manifestation journey, starting with knowing a couple of universal laws at play and the key to embodiment that people miss from the get go so that manifestation feels open and liberating throughout each step of the process. We dive into this in today’s episode!

Part 2 w/ my doula Britt Mason on moving through discomfort!

Intuition is so much more than an inner voice; it’s a guide that’s meant to be alive through our external voice, and conviction in how we make decisions

We talked about how you can practice hearing your intuition as you approach labor and motherhood 🤰🏻💓
