Womeness Community is honoring Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month with a special and raw conversation with Womeness team member, Amber. In this deeply heartfelt conversation, Amber shares her experience with loss as she has navigated her way through grief, miscarriage and stillbirth, and being stripped away from her identity, job, friends, and purpose. What has now become one of the most transformative soul experiences of her life, was first met with forgiveness of self through compassion and curiosity, sitting with grief, self-love, and being a "unicorn in the medical world".  She shares how she honors the lives of her children she lost and lets us in on the aftermath of fear, hope, and profound love as she shares the light her daughter, Meadow, has brought into this world. She also gives us a sneak peak on a special project she's working on that will provide support to any woman on their TTC or life after loss journey.

We each have pivotal moments in our life that define how we want to show up in the world. For Lindsey, some of those pivotal moments also impacted how she wanted to raise her children through self-expression and exploration. Lindsey describes herself as a “Mom of Four Trying to Find Her Way Through Life Without Losing Mine”, and shares in this week’s conversation with Gen and Katie how she creates a space for her kids to safely express themselves while staying true to who they are. You may know Lindsey from the TikTok channel “Nats Gets Dressed”, where her daughter showcases her own self-expression on her terms. In this convo we discuss not only Lindsey’s parenting that breaks the patterns of societal norms, but we also learn about what Lindsey’s daughter, Natalie, has taught her about herself and how to ignore the outside noise and tune into being the expert of your own family. Lindsey also opens up about her own exploration of self as she enters a season of getting to relearn herself and what her interests and needs are. This convo is for the Womeness exploring who she is and anyone looking for a perspective on how to raise confident, happy, and vibrant children.

Womeness team member and Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), Amber, joins Gen to cohost this week’s episode with Gen’s bestie and sensory guru, Rachel Harrington. Their convo brings up a diet we can all get on board with, a sensory diet. Do you find yourself feeling over stimulated? Run down? Depleted? Anxious? All the above? Then a sensory diet could be the missing link in your regimen. Rachel, COTA/L, AC, CPRCS uses her experience with helping kids and parents understand sensory processing as it relates to daily life to help our community better understand our own nervous system and how to thrive in our own lives. As a mom of 2 and entrepreneur, Rachel shares relatable experiences in her own life including her symptoms of ADHD as an adult and how she claims her sanity and strives to live boldly in her own identity. Amber and Gen challenge their senses through a game of “Lip Sync Challenge” with Rachel and you may, or may not, be surprised at what comes out of their mouths! Join Womeness and Rachel on Saturday, October 14th at 10 am for a kid friendly hike and meditation at Camel’s Back.

Sierra is proof that women are out here not just talking the talk, but walking the walk...and in 3D print disco ball heels in Sierra's case. Graduating top of her class at mechanical engineering school, Sierra has made a name for herself since her first viral moment when she won the Miss Idaho 2014 title and wore her insulin pump at the Miss America competition. Since then she's given 100+ keynote speeches in over 30 different states, published her book "Sugar Linings", and ridden her bike 4,300 miles from New York City to San Francisco alongside a team of 20 fellow type 1 diabetics. But she doesn't allow herself to stop there. This entrepreneur and visionary is now running her business, 3D PrinTcess full time, and drops a little sneak peak of her next company ready to launch her next company. Sierra opens up the floor to a dialogue about owning the complexity of being a woman and how we are not limited to being just one thing. There's a lot of vulnerability in this conversation as Sierra opens up about body image, showing up authentically herself despite judgement and criticism, and what's next on her radar as she prepares to welcome the next chapter of her life.

Let's be honest, not only can it be challenging to make friends as adults, it can also be difficult to keep up with the current relationships in our lives. Not because we don't value these relationships, but because staying invested in our relationships requires being intentional about showing up and staying curious about the people in our lives. Do you find yourself in a rut with old relationships? Feeling distant? Feeling your needs unmet or not knowing where you stand with old relationships that used to seem almost effortless? Just as you as an individual are evolving, the other people in your life are as well. As a result, the way our relationships play out in our lives will evolve along the way. Katie, Amber, and Gen open up about making and maintaining the relationships in their lives as they've gotten older and experienced transitions in lives. They also take us through a quick, but thoughtful exercise you can do weekly (or even daily) with the relationships in your life to stay curious and invested in the growth. Stay for what might be one of their favorite editions to the Womeness podcast and some hardcore belly laughs. Sorry in advance if we make you ink.
