    14. Advocating for a natural birth at 42+ weeks with Angelique Wood

    Welcome Back! It's been a hot minute since our last episode with the birth of my third bubba. Now it's time to get recording again! In this episode we speak with Angelique Wood, a mother of two who lives here in Perth, Australia. Angelique had two beautiful water births but the experiences leading up the births were very different. Angelique shares how the pressure to have a c-section created immense stress and how she advocated for herself the entire pregnancy for the birth she wanted. Angelique then shares how healing her second sons birth was with the support and trust of her birth team. We discuss: - The birth of her first son who was born during the pandemic in a birthing centre in Mexico, where she birthed at 42 weeks - How she had to advocate for herself and fight the system for her natural birth and rights in labour - How the pressure from the medical team impacted her birthing experience - Angelique's birth of her second son in Perth, Australia at the Family Birthing Centre - How this was a very empowering, supportive and healing experience for her - The importance of choosing aligned birth and support people - How the birthing environment can impact the birth experience - How to advocate for yourself and your natural birth amongst external pressures

    11. Natural VBAC twin birth story with Diane Pierotti

    Welcome to this episode where we have a VERY inspiring guest with us; Diane Pierotti. Diane is a mother of three boys. Her eldest son is almost 7 years old and her twins are almost 4.   In this episode we hear about Diane’s incredible birth story of her twin boys which was a VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean). Diane had planned for a natural birth with her first born but after a very long and distressing labour, this birth resulted in a caesarean. Despite this, she was determined to experience a physiological natural birth with her twins but this required a lot of determination to find a support team that encouraged her vision. A VBAC with twins is not something that the medical system encourages but Diane researched all the risks and found that it was a safe option to birth her twins vaginally. She found her support team and she had a wonderful natural birth in hospital.   Connect with Bianca: Instagram: www.instagram.com/biancajanelangstaff.xo facebook: www.facebook.com/biancajanelangstaff.xo Website: www.biancajane.com.au

    9. How to create Sacred self-care practices in Motherhood

    It’s up to us to ‘create’ or ‘find’ time for our Sacred self-care practices and moments in Motherhood. Creating or finding the time for ourselves means that we take self-responsibility for the way in which we fill in our days and the relationship we have with our Self. In today's episode, I discuss: - The constant thoughts of “There is no time” - Feeling the intense demands of the kids and family life - Your conditioning can bring up a lot of guilt for putting yourself first - How shifting your perception of time and what you do with your time can radically change your relationship with yourself. - My top 3 tips on how to create Sacred self-care moments in Motherhood - How to embody these practices each day with ease Connect with Bianca: Instagram: www.instagram.com/biancajanelangstaff.xo facebook: www.facebook.com/biancajanelangstaff.xo Website: www.biancajane.com.au
