    This episode is the beginning of a deeply personal three-part story detailing the journey to our 3rd baby. Before baby number three, my marriage was on the brink of collapse. I was questioning whether to stay, whether it was safe to try again, and whether love had to be perfect to be sacred.

In this relationship podcast episode, I share: What it’s like to consider divorce after becoming parents How unresolved patterns and emotional distance show up in long-term relationships My abortion story and how it became a turning point for honesty and healing Why self-responsibility and conscious communication changed everything What it really takes to rebuild trust and intimacy in a marriage This episode is especially for women who: Are unsure about having another baby Are questioning their marriage after kids Want grounded, real marriage advice for couples Feel alone in their doubts but aren’t ready to give up yet 👉 Part 2 will cover my pregnancy journey—how I supported myself physically, emotionally, and spiritually through each trimester. 👉 Part 3 will include my husband as we share our birth story together.If you’re searching for honest marriage podcast topics, real motherhood stories, and conversations that go beyond surface-level advice, you’re in the right place. ✨ Subscribe and Review to support the show ✨Birth Vlog: https://youtu.be/LFBRX7qqvto?si=aa2na9iOIBIfyofW Hi!

    Episode #3 Celia Mei Part 2: Musings on Motherhood. Travel, Play and Breaking Generational Cycles

    In this episode of Sovereign Tea Time, I’m back to muse on motherhood with Celia Mei. My kiddos are 7 and 2, and for Celia hers are 7, 4, 2, and 6 months.  We share personal stories about our journeys, including the joys and difficulties of traveling with young children, navigating going back to work after birth, and prioritizing play amidst daily responsibilities. Our discussion emphasizes the need for grounding, connection, and fun amidst the chaos of motherhood. We explore the themes of playfulness as a parenting tool, emotional regulation, and breaking generational cycles of trauma. We discuss the challenges of managing triggers and emotions, and the need for resources and tools to support our parenting journey. We talked about the reciprocal nature of motherhood, where both parents and children learn and grow together, ultimately aiming to foster healthier relationships and emotional well-being.

    Episode #1: Celia Mei Part 1: Surrendered Freebirth After 3 Homebirths with Midwives

    This California Mama and Sovereign Birth Guardian takes us through her 4 births, all at home, the first 3 with licensed midwives leading up to her recent freebirth. The first baby was “assisted” out by the midwife causing interventions and trauma she later questioned.  In her third birth she found herself inviting too many people, spiraling into fear, and struggling to speak her true need to be alone.  For her fourth birth she was ready to take the leap into freebirth actually suggested by her husband after he had previously been skeptical. Listen to find out the tools she used to surrender into her pregnancy and birth completely outside the medical system!
