We are Lara, and Sarah. We are the hosts of Radically Thriving. We also hang out on Instagram @dynamicdoulas, and @radicallythriving. This podcast is best consumed along side a cup of coffee, or on a long walk by yourself.

We are moms, coffee and kombucha lovers, health nuts, doulas, friends, and on this journey to not just survive but to THRIVE.

There is so much available to us in this life, and the auto pilot for motherhood is martyrdom. We are trying to move through the mom guilt, the childhood patterns that were demonstrated to us, and we do that by only offended 1/10 listeners per week.

A conversation with Sarah’s 12 year old son. We cover his love of engines, what farm life has been like, and what he misses from the city. We touch on what it’s like being a twin, if it’s weird knowing so much about birth, and feelings - what it’s like being a boy. Lastly we discuss what our schooling journey has looked like to date, with jumping around from unschooling, homeschooling, French immersion and English school in a small town.

On today's episode we catch up after the holidays, Sarah starts us off with some heavy topics, and then we talk about our planned sabbatical, our Sedona Trip, new years word of the year's and so much more. This episode is all over the place, which is our favorite kind!

If you, or someone you know has suffered with Birth Trauma, please reach out to a professional. You do not have to suffer alone. 

This conversation answers nothing and is a whole lot of ranting and rambling:



TRIGGER WARNING - We talk about stillbirth, and babies not making it in this podcast a lot. Please do not listen if you aren't feeling safe with that kind of content.



This is a great conversation for any doulas to listen to who are tired of the system!
