In our culture, we no longer have ceremony or celebrations around major life changes. In this episode, Bea talks about Birth as a Rite of Passage. She offers some points to ponder and lots of easy ways to celebrate this special time in your life.

When you are being confronted with a medical issue, do you respond with fear and give away your locus of control or do you become a seeker or researcher and truly make the decision for YOU and YOUR children? This is a tough question to ask yourself but it is so important in a world where we are often followers rather than the leaders we were raised to be.

In this episode, we review BRAIN but we also dive deep into how we can lead as women and mothers and use our own power to make decisions and be our own advocates in this world inundated with patriarchal “recommendations”. This is a juicy one - listen up!
