If you’re anything like me, you probably run against the grain a little bit, fight the status quo.. But deep down you just want life to be more simple. Getting back to real food, deep nourishment, living out your core values, and not letting someone else tell you how to live your life. Sound like you? Then you've found your place.
This show is your go-to resource for all things natural pregnancy, birth, motherhood and beyond. And I’m just going to warn you now.. We don’t sugarcoat things around here. You are going to hear some raw and real stuff. And my hope is that you feel like you’re right here in the room with me and my guests during these conversations, because while we may be in different places on our journey, we’re all interested in the same things, right? We want to take care of our bodies and our families. We want to be informed. We’re not just getting dragged around, we’re grabbing life by the balls and saying “this is how I want to live and the legacy I’m going to leave for my kids.”
So! If this seems like your cup of tea, go ahead subscribe/follow the show wherever you get your podcasts so that you never miss an episode. Because I can guarantee that you are going to learn so much and gain so many valuable resources from this podcast, because otherwise I wouldn’t be doing it. I’m a consumer too and if I’m not gaining anything, I’m not sticking around. So believe me when I say, you are going to gain a whole lot from this show.
I'll see you next Tuesday! <3

The Hormonal Cocktail of Birth & Rhythm as Medicine | with Carey Glenn, LM, CPM

Today, we are talking with midwife Carey Glenn. In addition to her home birth midwifery practice, Carey is also an educator, bodyworker, mentor and rhythmic therapist. She weaves these passions together into unique offerings for her intimate community of in-person clients, mentorship students, and the wider world through online courses, speaking events and film screenings. She also co-produced the one-of-a-kind undisturbed birth documentary titled These Are My Hours. You can watch the film here.

In the episode, Carey and I discuss the hormonal cocktail of birth, the concept of embodiment, the importance of communication skills and the powerful practice of using rhythm as medicine throughout pregnancy, birth and motherhood. I hope you gain as much wisdom from this interview as I did!
