Radically Thriving

Today is a bleed time rant on Pitocin and the lack of the risks being shared with people. It's making us (Lara especially) super mad.

We talk about fear tactics, flippant decisions, and discuss if we should take a month of social media again this summer.

As always thanks for being here. We will be back for Season 4 in September! Leave us a review and a rating so we can GROW!

Pam and Meagan are sisters who are incredibly passionate about breastfeeding and the need for support.

We appreciate their client specific approach to every client and have heard rave reviews from everyone we have sent to them!

Listen in while we cover some great advice and information for anyone starting out on their breastfeeding journey

Today I interview my friend, artist, creator, and amazing mom, Joti Wall.

She is a wealth of birth confidence and shares her three birth stories and her transformation throughout the process.

From an emergency cesarean, to a hospital vbac, to a home birth (almost... but listen to hear the story)... she describes birth in such an eloquent way.

Empowered birth is not the same as unmedicated, a cesarean can leave you empowered when you make the decisions from an informed and consenting place.

Listen in while you go for a walk, have a cup of tea, and hopefully you will find some empowering words here.

Sarah and Brandon talk openly about some questions that people submitted, as well as discussing therapy, and things that are working for them right now. 

As one of the most communicative couples I know, this is a great episode to listen to, and will give insight into your own marriage.

Today we talk about the new book Lara is reading called "The Mountain is You" and we discuss if "fine is the new rock bottom" and what that even means. 

Given that our podcast is called Radically Thriving, its interesting that on reflection, I am afraid to actually thrive because I don't want to feel spoiled or look like my life is SOOOO good, for fear of judgement from others. What I know from Gabby Bernstein is our judgements of others are our judgements of ourselves, so clearly these thought patterns exist in my life where people can't have TOO much success or happiness. I don't know where that comes from, but I am diving deep into it starting with this conversation.

Today we're chatting with our friend, and client, Ariana Christie. One of the kindest humans I know, and the BEST mom. 

We discuss her first birth with twins, and how she came to the realization that she wanted a different experience the second time around. 

We hear about Cali's birth and what she did to set herself up for a birth that was about HER. 

We talk about birth trauma and pregnancy/postpartum anxiety, and why we should be telling people more often they are good moms.
