Amana is an amazing woman who has SO much love and wisdom to share with the world! Career wise, she's a registered nurse with a degree in sociology, a birth attendant, an end of life doula (yes that's a thing!), an entrepreneur for her handmade soap company Earthing Nova, and she also offers support to pregnant, mothering and grieving women. She's a person who lives her life very intentionally and heart-lead. She's strong and fierce in her conviction to live her life on HER terms, even when that looks unusual or radical. She's also a mother to two little critters as well as a "mid-mother" (a term she's coined for mothers who's babies didn't survive pregnancy or early life) to 4 little spirits who didn't make it Earthside (out of utero). This episode is the story of her motherhood journey, from the stunningly beautiful, to soul shattering devastation and everything in-between.

We also discuss:

The incredible story of how she manifested meeting her "Soul Flame" Owyn.
Language around pregnancy loss and "what's meant to be"
Following your intuition above everything else.
Unapologetically living your truth even when no one around is.
Fears around birth and life in general.
Chasing the "Perfect Birth".
Our decisions to leave behind the medical system for our pregnancies and births.
What does "Radical" mean, literally and figuratively.
The ways that our lives have been impacted after having sovereign and empowering birth experiences.

Intuition 101 with Shashonna French

Intuition is such a fascinating topic! Scientifically, we know so little about it!! We hear people say, "follow your gut", "mother's intuition knows best", but our society really doesn't reflect back to us that following our intuition is best. With all this easy online access to outside sources, who needs their intuition for decision making?!And, like so many things, the less you use your intuition the quieter it becomes. So now, for some people, those outside sources ARE actually needed for their basic decision making. This is especially true of women's health care! Reproduction, pregnancy, birth and mothering have been largely taken out of women's hands and put into those considered to be professionals in the care of women and their babies. I'm not too proud to call myself out on the fact that I have a lot rigidity in my opinion of women health care in the medical system, and its this exact reason why I love this conversation with Shonanna so much! Because she helps me soften my rigidity around this topic (which was a unexpected surprise!)! Which is why I do this podcast, to love more and to learn more! In addition to all that, she and I also discuss:
