WITH INTENTION podcast

Today is themed around Womens Health. We want to help empower as many women as possible to connect + honour their bodies. Discovering the power within our bodies, the natural cycles in rhythm with the moon, power of coming together as women + so much more. There is so much we can do if we struggle with any feminine health problems, fertility issues, deep fatigue...

We chat about Cycle Awareness, the exciting new revolution in women's health + wellbeing. A foundational practice for awakening essential self care, reducing stress + easing or healing menstrual health problems. We chat about how we can actually plan our month a little more productively in line with when we will have the most energy + creativity. Do you know when your best time to manifest is? When to be most actionable with your dreams?

Things we cover:

Cycle Awareness / Menstrual Mapping

Unlearning

Manifesting through your cycle

Letting Go

Womb Wisdom/ Womb Yoga

Connection to Nature

Natural Cycles VS Synthetic Cycles e.g. from the pill.

Menarchy, Motherhood, Menopause...

Fertility

Self Love / Releasing Shame

Menstrual Cycle Awareness (MCA) :

This is a self-help technique much like mindfulness, in that it enables you to look more objectively at what you are experiencing depending on the day of your cycle. E.G., after practicing MCA, you may decide to not exercise near menstruation, say no more + not feel bad about it, or decide to intentionally do more creative fun things in the middle of your cycle . MCA aids the ability for you to enjoy deep rest + be at your most productive, it can help with diet, exercise+ relaxation, reduce the pressures you may feel, help you to become more confident, + be more accepting of who you are.

In 2008, she then graduated 2008 with a 1st class honours degree in acting before starting her career. We absolutely loved hearing about her journey through the ups + downs of life.

Today we talk all things Change + Reinventing ourselves.

We love this topic talking about evolving + adapting through the ups and downs of life. Like the seasons we are constantly changing + going through cycles. We are one with nature. In nature, we can observe self-reinvention happening all the time. Animals hibernate, flowers begin to blossom, seasons change, + snakes shed their old skin when it is time to grow a new one. All of these processes are indicators of our natural need for change + evolution. It is the force that prompts us to let go of the past, step outside our comfort zone, + move forward into the future.

Are you feeling stuck? Are you ready to welcome change as we transition towards spring? Do you ever find yourself questioning who you are/your purpose? Do you daydream about doing something completely different?

Things we discuss:

• Embracing Change
• The power of saying NO
• Self Discovery
• Surrender VS Control
• Our natural cycles
• Sadhana- Daily Rituals
• Self Belief

Lets go build up the best version of yourself! In turn, this enables you to lead a healthier, happier life!

Saying No is one of the most important happiness skills out there + has been key to honouring our cycles in life. We are taught from birth that to be 'good' is to be compliant + society pushes us to keep busy saying yes to everything through life. But its time to step into your power, conserve your energy + create boundaries. Everything you say NO to means your saying YES to something else. Whether thats a yes to a chilled night in, time with family, time for yourself or yes to prioritising your health, You deserve not to be busy all the time and learn to say NO. Remember, thats what time is...Its your life, + you can never get it back.

Change is inevitable in life. Life is uncertain + we need to learn to surf the waves. Re-inventing ourselves is a journey of self discovery. Whether your goals involve a new career, moving to the countryside, or learning to love yourself, self-reinvention is a quintessential part of life. It is also a lifelong journey.

How to have a calm and balanced pregnancy and birth experience?

We begin by addressing the fear surrounding birth in our society. There is no wonder so many are scared to birth with all what is in the media, films, books and the horror stories we hear from friends or strangers in the supermarket! Birth has become overmedicalized and feared across the globe. In this episode we are changing the narrative around birth. This episode looks at the conversation we have around birth, breaking down the culture of fear. Birth should be a calm and enjoyable experience for all women but we are being let down by the system. We dive deep into how to prepare yourself for your birth experience.

April Wild is a hypnobirthing practitioner, doula, pre/postnatal yoga teacher and facilitator of monthly circles for pregnant woman. Her knowledge and passion led her to become a birth worker and she is so inspired to offer women education to make informed choices and create better birth outcomes. April has experienced three of the calmest births even being a high risk pregnancy with a rare heart condition in a home and hospital setting. April shares her top tips and tools for birth in this episode.

“Women are designed to birth naturally. We don’t overthink how we grow our babies for 9 months...it just happens. Well birth is no different if we learn the techniques to quieten the mind and soften the body, it just flows. Your body will know what to do when we just allow birth to unfold as it should.”

In this episode Claire Cooper also shares about her experiences being pregnant and her past birth experience including talks on a gentle caesarean. Claire is so passionate about us having the best support possible and talks about how important it is to choose your birth space and do all your research on the lead up to your babies birth.

Birth is like a marathon. You would not want to turn up to it just 'winging' it or it would be super painful. You have to train and prepare your body and mind.

Join us for an inspiring, reassuring conversation from the heart full of wisdom, learning and ideas to help navigate forward to your birth.
