On this episode, we hear about this incredible woman's journey through births and how they shaped her passion in Midwifery due to two drastically different experiences with birth. She also shares her experience with postpartum depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideations. She has been profoundly brave in sharing such an intimate experience with us all.  I apologize because I used Grey's maiden name on the episode but her married name is Grey Lovely AND Grey Lovely is a Badass!! There I said it...But you all need to feel it because this woman can bring so much power to our collective. As Women, we need to be aware of our options, strengths and our blind spots so that we can make educated decisions about our bodies. Also, this way we are able to stand in our power without a doubt. Grey has shared her power with us today and her work as a Doula will continue to share this as it empowers each one of her patients. 

Postpartum is real, we need to be speaking on this more often! let us do our part and support our sisters who might be feeling this, or help those who are trying to get through it. Mental health is so important and we are still not loud enough about it, but I know that one by one we will awaken the sleeping giant and thus, save the lives of countless women. All because one of us decided to start sharing. The rest of us lets support, understand and hold space for our sisters. In power, in magic, and in love.

A huge thank you to the beautiful Maggie! Gracias Mujer, for sharing your experience with loss and stillbirths. Your story was so powerful and I am sure someone out there will find healing through your experience and transparency with your ups and downs throughout your journey.

I want to take this space to also speak to all women out there who have experienced stillbirths. We are sharing space in order to hold that space for all those who want to heal, want to share and want to grow from painful experiences. Remember that you are still a mother, you can grieve your own way and we all have different paths. please do not ever limit your healing to the "right way" and instead trust that you are beautiful, valuable and powerful even at your darkest. Maggie wanted to share a personal letter to her angel baby whose birthday just passed, see it below. 

"Dear Ollie,

Meet Carmen Baltazar, a Mujer full of positivity, love and support with an eager heart to give it all away. She is the creator of The East LA Girl through which she aims to empower her community and all those who inhabit it to live in pride and connection to their roots.

If that isn't amazing enough, she is also working on putting on an event to create space for other women who have felt disconnected from their community, culture or roots because of the stigma it has been burdened with.

She lives and breathes community empowerment! If you feel connected to this as well then you can find her on IG under @theeastlagirl

Also, you can find her fitness coach page under @carmen.bfit where she pushes women to achieve their fitness goals and creates a community to keep others and herself accountable on their health journey.

Thank you, Carmen, for sharing your story of miscarriage with our community. Thank you for sharing a different experience within this event in women's lives. Thank you for being open and for opening your heart and home to us.

On today's episode, you will hear me speak with Kassie Yamamoto a Hustler Mom! She shares with us how she worked through the tough times in her life, separating from her husband and taking her son to work with her in order to balance work and motherhood. We touch on what it is like to hold onto all aspects of yourself as a mother and what it can be like when you lose yourself in the process. Kassie shares with us some of her dark times and then speaks about how she made it through. In the midst of it all, she achieved a number of roles and now is working towards expanding her business ventures in order to gain success for her family. Let us continue to celebrate mothers throughout this beautiful month.

Bonus Episode

This was an unplanned episode but I believe that its emphasis on holding space makes for a beautiful transition from the prologue to the first series.

A huge thank you to Lacy @hypepriestess and Maria @swiftyma for allowing me into their space and sharing intimately with all of this Xecure community. 

For more information on the Sacred Space events, they are hosting visit their Instagram pages.

Also, Maria mentions in the closing extras that she hosts meditation sessions with another amazing @sarah_andthebeyond on Monday nights at Behind the Lid Healing Collective. You can find more information about this @behindthelid on Instagram.

Lacy has a shop where these events are being held, where she sells beautiful crystals among other goodies. Check out her account for a link to her shop, her YouTube channel, patreon program and more!

A special "THANK YOU" to the lovely ladies that allowed me to use our brunch conversation for posting on this podcast! Conversations like these are so important to have with our friends and family because they allow us to express ourselves and to become aware of the others experience, thus helping us understand each other better.
