Rowan Twosisters, CPM, LM  is a Midwife, Aware Practitioner, and STREAM Pelvic Specialist. Twosisters joined us for an amazing interview to talk all about Cervical Scarring.

If you’re someone with a uterus or knows someone with a uterus, this is a fantastic episode to listen to. Cervical scarring can sound big and scary and feel quite overwhelming, but Twosisters breaks the information down for us into simple, educational pieces.

Cervical Scar Tissue, A Bigger Deal Than You Think is your guide to increased ease with fertility, labor and birth.

Get this book at https://bookshop.org/ or on Amazon!

Inside this book, you'll learn:
- Why scar tissue forms on the cervix
- Why almost no one cares until it becomes a labor block
- What you can do to keep it from derailing your birth preferences

Labor and birth can be full of wild cards, a cervix that prevents a straightforward delivery doesn't have to be one of them. #ounceofprevention

Parents of littles who have allergies and sensitivities know that it's not always solved with a simple cream or 1 trip to the doctor. This week Dr. Kim Tran from Integrated Chiro and Wellness joins the pod to share her story of her son Emerson's experience with food and environmental allergies/sensitivities. Her story is a powerful one that shows parents we don't have to just stop at one place for relief and sometimes, we need to keep digging and advocating for our kids.
