Radically Thriving

We're going deep today talking about grief, trauma, and transference.

Emma is a co-steward of The Sacred Village, a community mission where all seekers of love and truth can unite, co-create, freely express, and be in reciprocity together.

Sarah is talking about Acute and Chronic Anxiety today, cold plunging and when is it actually better to just take a hot bath or a hot tub?!!

Sarah answers some of your questions that you submitted over on Instagram, and shares a couple Love Mantras that have been feeling really good lately - there's maybe a little sign along.

She ends up talking a bit about her own births, and what could have gone better if she had had a power house of a doula with her.  But who knows.  And ends talking about what's going well in parenting right now and what's not.  Thank you for listening!

It's just Lara today, answering the questions you all submitted! Quickie episode today because I'm headed to Florida in a few hours! 

Thanks for being here, for listening, and for sharing, reviewing, and subscribing! 

We appreciate you!

On todays show:

Does Lara pee with too much velocity?

Is it a problem? Or is Sarah actually chronically dehydrated and jealous?

We discuss the Apothecary that Jaime brought to Mexico including the black tar Shilajit, and other health hacks.

How Jaime is helping Demi prepare her body for having a baby (which will be Jaime’s new niece or nephew) in a very kind, caring, sister in law way. So loving!!!

How to add Liver to your diet to help support your hormones.

We get juicy about bleeding, why menstrual cups may not be the right choice for you, and how to intuitively bleed.

She is a passionate advocate for improving prenatal, birth + postpartum care for all. She would like to see access to pelvic physical therapy become normalized throughout the lifecycle for all people, and especially in the postpartum time.

Improving egg quality in pre-conception:

The pathway to conception begins long before we conceive. This is because it takes roughly

three months for an egg to mature within the ovary leading up to ovulation. For those planning

to conceive, there is an opportunity to influence egg quality in the 3 months prior to ovulation.

Some ways to support egg quality include making simple but supportive diet and lifestyle

changes. In the pre-conception time, consuming animal-based protein (including eggs, muscle

and organ meats, organic raw or A2 dairy), reducing processed foods and sugars and other

known inflammatory sources like polyunsaturated fats (like canola oil), and alcohol. Pre-

conception lifestyle changes include include reducing stress, supporting your nervous system

health, and prioritizing quality sleep. Trading in high intensity exercise like HIIT workouts for a

more moderate alternative should also be considered since vigorous exercise is a stressor to

the body. Additional supplements may also be considered and are best used on a individual

basis. I always suggest working with a care provider who specializes in supporting pre-

conception and conception like an acupuncturist or naturopath.

Other supplements I love and use daily to support my female physiology include:  *** if you would like the links to any of the below please email us at [email protected]

Have you ever woken up and thought "I am NEVER drinking again"

Are you waking up with anxiety or depressed thoughts after drinking?

We're in Mexico! And took some downtime to record and talk about the emotional, and physical workload of motherhood. Sarah prepared questions for Lara to answer about the division of work in the home... We're exploring the feminine, the masculine, and motherhood with curiosity and intrigue. We talk about some of our favourite characters we met in Cancun, and how much we love the resort we're at!

This is probably our favourite episode ever. What a JUICY way to start off 2023. We are not designed to be in isolation, and the bridge to connection is through intimacy, with ourselves, and others. 

We talk about the freedom of saying no, and being respected. We talk about sex, connection, community and what is involved at a Solstice party. 

Tips for self healing: 

Be honest with yourself

Inquire "What is my body saying?

"What do I need?"

Check in with what you're desiring.

This is one of our FAVOURITE episodes ever. Wow. Megan is a writer and it shows!  In this podcast we talk all about her cesarean and the parts that upon reflection, she wishes had gone differently.  Megan reads us her blog, and it is SO POWERFUL, Sarah has tears in her eyes.  The reality is, we just don't hear women talk assertively and clearly, and man, we need it!!  Megan wants cesareans done differently - she hopes some nurses and OBs will hear this podcast.  She wants women to not give up and to speak up about what they want in their births.  As a recovering people pleaser, Megan is learning about being sweet and quiet leads to pain. 

Today we're talking travel. Why w're travel addicts, how we became this way, and our histories of travel. We share travel thoughts, ideas, dreams and goals. Why we're so confused when people don't have the drive to travel, and what we have in our futures.
