03/25/24 • 71 min
Buckle up friend! This is a true glimpse into how our behind the scenes conversations usually flow... a little all over the map, but with so much depth, curiosity, and reflection along the way.
Join us as we begin this FULL MOON episode by each candidly sharing updates around what’s currently alive in our respective seasons of business and motherhood.
We then begin to untangle the harsh extremes in the online motherhood, entrepreneurship and healing space and why more nuance is desperately needed. Together we rewrite our stories about business “fails” and get real about our own experiences as mother entrepreneurs.
We tap into the significance of intention setting, the importance and POWER of ritual and ceremony, and how we’re carving our own paths to step away from some of the belief systems and religious traditions anchored from childhood.
You’ll hear us express our utter (and hilarious) lack of knowledge of astrology and the full moon energetics, but we bring much needed humor and FUN to the conversation as we attempt to learn in real time and illuminate that which we’re letting go of with the full moon.
Plus, we touch on:
- The effect of social media consumption on our creation cycles, and the delicate balance between inspiration and comparison
- What having a holistic view of nervous system dysregulation really means
- Our personal experiences of disentangling from Christian and Catholic upbringing, and creating our own traditions, rituals and ceremonies around seasons and holidays
Together we weave in so much and pull the threads of so many thoughts and interesting topics. Come laugh, learn and reflect with us.

18. Planning for the Fourth Trimester: The 5 Essentials of Postpartum Healing with Brittany Zeer
What are the essential components to focus on in early postpartum, so you can heal, bond, and thrive as a new mother?
Join Brittany Zeer and I as we explore just how to plan and prepare for a nourished postpartum experience.
Brittany is the creator of Blissful Womb Care where she supports women and mothers through the entire childbearing continuum. She is a certified INNATE Postpartum Care Practitioner, and she's passionate about creating a cultural shift that honors and centers mothers as the foundation for collective healing.
Her work is rooted in the 5 Essentials of Postpartum Care which are really the Essentials for healing and thriving life in general.
It's through integrating many of these practices herself that she healed 7.5 years of daily migraines and fibromyalgia. Now she's on a mission to share tangible ways women and mothers can support themselves and others in their community, so we can all transition from just surviving to thriving.
Brittany shares her incredible story of finding the INNATE Postpartum Care teacher and trainings, and how implementing these essentials have changed her own life.
Brittany dives into each of the 5 cross cultural essentials of postpartum care: what they are, why they're important, and how to set yourself up in simple, practical ways to honour these essentials.
We also have an honest conversation around the societal pressures placed on mothers, the necessity of setting boundaries and asking for support, and why meeting some of these essential needs postpartum is so hard in our modern mothering culture.
In a world where the postpartum period can be fraught with societal pressures and misconceptions, this episode underscores the need to shift our perspectives and practices, embracing a holistic model of care that acknowledges and cherishes the intrinsic worth of mothers. Brittany's wisdom and passion, illuminated through her experiences and commitment to nurturing mothers, serves as incredible inspiration for embracing the transformative potential of the postpartum experience.
By embracing the 5 essentials of postpartum care, mothers can reclaim their innate strength and vitality, fostering long-term health and well-being for both themselves and their families.

MUSINGS + MAGICK: Exploring Fear, Growth, and Courage in Motherhood and Conscious Entrepreneurship (APRIL NEW MOON INTENTIONS with Lauren and Nicole)
Join us for another all-over-the-place episode in true Lauren and Nicole style, where we continue to share insights about introspection, practicing self-compassion, and embracing uncertainty from our experience as mother entrepreneurs.
We pull on some pretty thick threads anchored around fear, perfectionism, performance, and productivity, all while orienting back to our values of connection and embodiment.
One of the key themes that emerged from this discussion is the importance of embracing the messy middle. We share our personal experiences and reflections, emphasizing the value of permission to show up imperfectly and the significance of being comfortable with being a beginner or messy.
We also explore the concept of taking small steps to expand comfort zones, highlighting the idea of titration as a gentle approach to facing fears and embracing new challenges. The conversation is rich with insights on the interconnectedness of different aspects of life, and the recognition of the need to tap into slowness and radical responsibility for our own responses to external pressures including the intensity of the current eclipse season.
As we navigate our own journeys, it's essential to recognize the power of noticing and responding to our inner conflicts and fears, without allowing them to dictate our actions. Invitation to allow this episode to serve as a gentle reminder to grant yourself permission to be vulnerable, to slow down, and to be present in the messy, beautiful middle of your own growth.
In the midst of uncertainty and the ebb and flow of life, we hope this episode offers you moments of reflection, inspiration, and the courage to take small steps towards expanding your own comfort zones.
