    Ep. 34: The Sound of Expansion in Birth

    Myth: Birth is loud and filled with screaming and sounds of agony. Truth: We moan, grunt, cry, and sometimes scream yes but we also laugh, sing, or talk. Or go silent. Have you considered what untouched, physiologically typical labor & childbirth sounds like? I explore all of this and more on Episode 34: The Sound of Expansion in Birth. If you're pregnant and in your last trimester, now is the perfect time to take a birth class. Get ready for labor by learning comfort and coping techniques, understanding the stages of labor & birth and discussions that go deeper, penetrating the shallow layers of preparation. Check out wellworthwatering.com/birthclass for information about my month-long or weekend class sessions.

Smith, a trailblazing functional psychiatric nurse practitioner, founder of Aroma Functional Nutrition Psychiatry and a visionary who sees a world where mental health care is more than just a pill. Dr. Smith aims to help her patients live better lives by identifying the root cause of their conditions and creating a customized treatment plan that incorporates lifestyle changes, counseling, coaching, and natural supplements.

    Ep. 28: Part 1 | Cutting the Cord with Seiea Britt

    While the mental and physical well-being of pregnant parents tends to focus on the maternal health care we receive, how do we take a look at the quality of our relationships? Should our intimate relationship reflect back the love growing inside of us? What does it look like to realize while pregnant that a relationship no longer serves you or your highest good? Seiea Britt—singer/songwriter and mother of 3 beautiful girls—graces the podcast once again. Seiea first joined us on Episode 8 to talk about her second pregnancy and birth, one where she navigated the challenges of new motherhood at the height of the pandemic as well as a cholestasis diagnosis. But for this episode, we take a detailed look back on the relationship challenges she faced during her third pregnancy.
