Brittny is joined by Natalie Crandall to discuss trusting in the process and how her competitive dance background and a dark night of the soul moment led to an unexpected spiritual expansion of herself.

Natalie has always been a mover & shaker…literally. She started dancing at the age of 3 and by 6 years old she was an active competitor in ballroom dance. She pursued a career in competitive ballroom dancing for over 20 years obtaining multiple championship titles and 3 National Professional Titles. But after a synchronistic detour from the universe, Natalie retired from competitive dancing and continued her journey as an instructor. Natalie is a certified spin instructor, yoga instructor, ballroom dance coach, and most recently a guide for Kinrgy - a modality created by Julianne Hough.

After years of relentless training as a competitive dancer Natalie now focuses on healing her body, mind and soul through deep connection to breath & movement. She thrives on community and is on a mission to help others find the joy in connecting back to their most authentic selves.

Brittny and Natalie discuss:

• Her “dark night of the soul” moment
• How she went from breakdown to breakthrough
• Listening to her inner critic versus following intuition and feeling
• Kinergy, dance, yoga and other movement practices
• The breadcrumbs that have helped her to surrender to the process
• Her personal daily practices that led to ah-ha moments
• Connecting to the energy within the body and letting out trapped energy
• Inner-parenting, allowing yourself to be vulnerable, and letting go of control

Last week Brittny shared about how to overcome feelings of hopelessness and despair and this week she’s piggybacking on that to discuss freedom and gratitude for the opportunities and daily things she’s afforded in her life. It’s so easy to get caught up in the negative, especially when that can make up the majority of what we see on social media, but there is still so much to be grateful for and we give our power away when we don’t believe that we can be apart of the change or that change isn’t possible. Brittny discusses her everyday freedoms that she’s thankful for, how she stays in her power when it feels like it’s being ripped away, and a practice you can do to show appreciation for your own freedoms and get back into a positive mindset!

Brittny is sharing all the details and her experience with giving birth - from the moment she found out she was pregnant through holding her baby girl in her arms. When sharing the exciting news of pregnancy with others, women are often met with doom and gloom…how painful it will be, how much sleep you’ll lose, how you can’t prepare for anything, and the list goes on. But Brittny decided she wanted to write her own story, and so she did.

In this episode, Brittny discusses:

• How she knew the exact date she would give birth the moment she was told her due date
• Changing the narrative around pregnancy and labor (because it doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom)
• The importance of finding a provider that shares in your beliefs and advocates for you
• How she used breathwork to manage labor pain and have an all natural birth
• Why it’s necessary to prep both the body and brain for the birthing process
• The fear, tension, pain cycle
• Trusting your body and not fighting against what it’s meant to do
• Other ways she prepared to bring new life into the world!

Brittny is sharing all the deets on how she mourns her past self while also celebrating her new life as a mother. Although she thought this experience would be easy (because social media makes it look that way sometimes), there has been a lot of learning along the way and many reminders that “living your best life” means life long work of continuing to examine and know yourself. She dives into why you can’t mourn your old self until you’re actually in the experience of change, allowing herself to feel both the pride in parenting and the guilt that comes up when missing having an hour to herself in the morning, grief and loss in forms other than death and how to honor that grief, matresence, the physical and emotional healing of parenthood and mourning your past self, choosing courage over comfort, and so much more!
