Heart Point 3: Countless Women Birthed Before Me
Acknowledging the Card Deck we use: CLICK HERE
Self Share: Take comfort in knowing that you are part of a long line of women that have done this. We have all been carried by our mothers, in a womb, have all been birthed into this world. Magical fact: the egg that was necessary for you to be conceived, was already inside your grandmother’s womb! A woman's eggs are all created inside her mothers womb.
World Share: Healing the mother wound and our wounded feminine lineage
Strategy of self-care: How you were born is how you birth projects. Talk about your own birth with your mother (if possible). How to make a mother shrine.

Join us for a tender, raw, and honest conversation about the ups and downs of welcoming a second child into the family. In this episode, Indigo shares her journey as a mother travelling through her second pregnancy. Although Indigo feels deep love for her baby, we also make space for the more taboo and rejected aspects of her pregnancy journey including facing loss of the family unit, gender grief, facing near miscarriage, loss of control and ultimately learning to surrender. Ultimately, this is a conversation about learning to mother the mother within, making space for all that we feel on our journey.

This week’s offerings:
Heart Point: My baby will come when he or she is ready
~ Self Share: External pressure once we pass our ‘due date’. Marlies and Indigo have both experienced this. The medical profession can use frightening terminology. Marlies ~ during birth I was rushed. Marlies ~ speaking to the women trying to conceive and waiting.
~ World Share: Australia has the highest rate of induction. Domino effect of interventions, medicalisation of birth. Manufacturability ~ want to control everything big fear over loss of control (that we don’t actually have), want to control our when, how we get pregnant, what gender/how many children, what our birth will look like (birth wishes [plans] - how I want to ‘look’ as how I want it to feel) and we lose the ability to birth naturally. Knowing our options can be empowering.
~ Strategy of self-care: Make a vision board of how you would like to feel and how you want to experience your birth.
Meditation: My baby will come when he or she is ready

In this week’s episode, we have a mind and heart expanding conversation with Tara Behr covering childhood trauma, psychedelics and Christianity.
Tara is a psychotherapist, poet, writer, and singer-songwriter based in Colorado Springs. In addition to working with men, women, and couples who are experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma, Tara writes poetry and essays on radical feminism, interpersonal phenomenology, animism, Christian mysticism, and psychedelic-assisted therapy.
Tara's life has been dedicated to the discovery of what supports human flourishing and what prevents it. She believes it is our birthright to be connected to freedom, compassion, self-love, and people who respect, honour, and mirror you in your goodness. As a survivor of psychedelic abuse, Tara brings a nuanced and balanced view to the conversation around psychedelic assisted therapy.

Acknowledging the Card Deck we use: CLICK HERE
Self Share: Marlies ~ breaking the ‘all or nothing thinking’ ~ making it sustainable and pleasurable. Indigo ~ burned out mothering is unfulfilling.
World Share: Women today do everything, but nothing is done quite right. What really calls you? Following our passion and making room for creativity in a time of immense creativity!
Strategy of self-care: Starting the day with a daily question “when you don’t have much time or energy what really fills your cup/nourishes you?”. & can you incorporate your kids into self care practices?
Meditation: Taking care of myself means taking care of my baby
