Naturally Caroline Caroline Ofenstein

I went from creating my dream job and earning 6 figures to becoming a full time mom after my daughter was born. Today, I’ll share with you my personal reasons for choosing the SAHM life over boss babe life, how we overcame challenges along the way, and things I'd do differently now looking back a year later.
More of what we’ll dive into:
Financial considerations Nannies vs daycare The mother-baby dyad Redefining my innate personal value & worth Why the feminist movement may have done as much harm as good Breastfeeding (EBF) vs pumping The reality of biological norms How to create the solution that works best for YOU and YOUR family -------------------------

Diana is the founder and host of the Healing Birth Podcast and today she shares with us the wisdom, teachings, and advice she’s gleaned after listening to hundreds of birth stories over the past five years from women all over the world.
She also shares her own healing journey after a traumatic cesarean birth with her first child to a beautiful, autonomous, VBAC birth with her second.
We dive deeper into VBAC and why over 20% of c-sections are actually unnecessary, overcoming mental hurdles in pregnancy and birth, and also touch on Diana’s history working in the health insurance industry and what she learned about the western medical system (hint - it’s the system that is broken, not you).

If you want to learn the basics of German New Medicine, how to fine tune your personal awareness, and become your own healer, then you will love this conversation with Abigail Puccioni.
We discuss how to apply GNM within the specific conflicts that can cause symptoms of skin issues (eczema, dermatitis, rashes, and acne), bloating, headaches, TMJ, muscle aches, and chronic pain. Plus, how you can use GNM as a mom when your littles are showing various symptoms.
There is SO MUCH to learn from this one so take your time listening, notice what resonates for you/your body, and please don’t hesitate to reach out on social media if you have any follow up questions for either of us!
PS - this is not medical advice 😊

Almost HALF of all women experience birth trauma.
Today, I chat with Audrey Ross of A Joyful Birth about why this might be. Why is it so hard to trust our bodies when it comes to birth? Why are we as a society so scared of birth? How do we break free from the fear and step back into our innate womanly power?
Audrey is a birthkeeper, educator of physiologic birth, and a mother. She went from a breech hospital birth with her first, to a homebirth with licensed midwives with her second baby, to a freebirth, and now she's currently journeying through a wild pregnancy (no medical intervention, no scans, etc.) and planning her second freebirth!
Together we dive into:
Why the hospital might NOT be the safest place to give birth (failure to progress, anyone?!) Pros and cons of homebirth with midwives How to protect yourself and your space in pregnancy and birth Audrey's choice of wild pregnancy and freebirth How to build trust in your body's ability to birth a healthy baby -------------------------

Wow - I can't believe my daughter is already one! This past year has led to more healing and expansion than any other year of my life. In today's episode, I'll share some of the biggest lessons I've learned as a new mom (like the "bouncing back" myth, true postpartum healing, letting go of my control freak persona, etc.) and what I plan on doing differently whenever baby number two comes along.

As a mom, have you ever felt like you had to hide your uncomfortable emotions from your kids? What if that’s actually harming you? What if allowing yourself to EXPRESS your anger, sadness,  or stress actually sets you (and your family) free?
Dr. Tiff is an experienced chiropractor and somatic expert who helps others heal at a deep soul level by unblocking emotions in the body. I’ve had the privilege of sitting in her somatic ceremonies a few times and have experienced *leaps* in healing thanks to the methods we’ll discuss today!
