Parenting Our Children + Reparenting Ourselves Brittany Taylor

A few days before Ilya's 4th birthday, our breastfeeding journey together came to a close. It has been a month since and in today's podcast, I reflect on that transition, including a transition to stop nursing together at night (we co-sleep), and then a couple months later to stop nursing together entirely. I share about why I chose to make these shifts, what inspired them, how weaning has felt for me, and how I sense no longer "doing boob" has felt for Ilya.

Welcome to Parenting our Children and Re-Parenting Ourselves. I am your host, Brittany Taylor and it is a joy to be here with you. I am a coach, specializing in relationships- our relationships with ourselves, our partners, our children, and beyond. I coach beings who are ready to step into the more full version of themselves they have been calling forth. I support pregnant mamas and families, partnerships, and individuals. Reach out to me for an initial session or to to see if we are a good fit for my dedicated 12-week coaching program. This podcast is alive thanks to the incredible journey I have experienced parenting my almost 4-year-old child, while simultaneously immersed in the deep work of healing and developing within my own internal system. It is my belief that our children offer us the portal to the growth we have been asking for, on an individual and collective level. The intention of this podcast is to offer insight into topics and themes that can help us evolve in harmony alongside our children, with unconditional love and support for us all.

In season 2 of this podcast we are diving into topics related to attachment parenting, holistic, heart-led parenting, unconditional love, re-parenting ourselves, healing trauma bonds, and aiming to support ourselves re-emerging as full, integrated beings, while supporting our children in maintaining this same integrity within themselves and connection to their own system and intuitive knowing.

Season 1 of this podcast took you along my journey of an autonomous, non-medical pregnancy and Freebirth, with a glimpse into our postpartum life.

Over the past 4 years since free-birthing my child, I have received a lot of questions about my freebirth and wild pregnancy. I have shared my birth story, both the actual birth as a video, and my birth story on various podcasts, but this is the first dedicated podcast that I share more about freebirth and wild pregnancy in general. In this podcast I will be covering the following questions:

What is freebirth?What is wild pregnancy?Why I choose and chose freebirth?How to have a freebirth?What are the benefits of freebirth? What are the risks of freebirth?How to know if freebirth is right for you?

In this episode, I share about how we navigate the holidays - with a young child, as health-conscious beings, as an atypical/poly family, and beyond. I share about how we navigate Santa and Christmas songs about "naughty" and "nice," gift giving, and sharing time as a family and individually. I also share about now we navigate Halloween, trick-or-treating and sweets/candy.

It has taken me 34 years to learn what my child was born into this world knowing: how to eat intuitively. And honestly, I am so darn proud of myself! Coming from a lifetime of dieting and body image struggles, I didn’t think it was possible for me to have a loving relationship with my body and food. I am thrilled to be where I am today and I am excited to share my story with you.

Over the last few years I’ve received a lot of curiosities about my diet and if it has changed. The answer is yes. It has changed many times in many ways. And I trust that it will continue to evolve, as I do. Many of you started following me during my 7 years of eating a strictly plant-based / vegan diet, which is no longer a diet I follow. I asked you all to send all the questions you've had in, and I believe I address all the ones I have received in this podcast.

Today on this podcast, Bridgette Wolleat joins me to help tell my story and share her knowledge on the topic of intuitive eating. We will be covering the following: What is intuitive eating?How did I move from a life of dieting to intuitive eating? What has changed about how and what I eat?When did these changes happen?How have they felt for me?How did I transition from a plant-based / vegan diet to eating animal products and meat?How did I deal with the emotional aspects of transitioning away from veganism?Why did I choose veganism?Why do I not choose to eat a vegan diet now?

Rituals root us. Having solid, consistent, nurturing routines that we perform every day creates the rhythms we need for healthy development. We thrive when we have that ideal balance of certainty and uncertainty, routine and spontaneity. Most beings seem to be off balance, needing more routine than they have set up for themselves. Their systems are craving more regularity, more trust, more stability. With a healthy framework, we can flow and play with confidence. 

Developing and nurturing regular morning and evening routines that are simple and effective for you and your children helps ensure you will be set up to thrive. When our systems have a certain amount of reliability, they can relax. Consistency and relaxation is especially essential for young, developing beings, and as their caregivers, we are the ones setting the tone of the day. We are the ones whose nervous systems they are syncing up with, learning from, and mirroring. By creating calm, present, loving energetic environment, we can offer our children a nurturing space for co-regulation. 

In this episode, I share about Ilya’s bedtime rituals, now at 3 years old. I also share more abut the importance of having bedtime routines, both for child and for your yourself.
