Britta Bushnell, Ph.D, has been working with expecting individuals and couples for over 20 years, focusing on the transformational journey of pregnancy, birth, and new parenthood. Her work with parents has been enriched by her doctoral work in mythology and psychology, her years spent as a co-owner of Birthing From Within, as well as her dedicated study of solution-focused brief therapy, storytelling, and sustaining sexual vibrancy and helping romantic partnerships thrive even during parenthood. A celebrated speaker, author, teacher, and presenter, Britta shares her insights through classes and in her book, Transformed by Birth.
Emilia and I recently attended one of Britta’s intensive two-day workshops, and it gave us both an incredible new perspective on the journey we’re about to undertake in becoming parents. It was such a privilege to get to sit down with her after the fact and discuss the strategies she uses to demystify the birthing process while preserving and honoring the wonder and transformation that occurs. Whatever stage you’re at in this journey, this episode is for you.

Are you flushing money down the toilet with less than optimal supplements? With most traditional supplements, the amount that survives digestion and general acidity in the gut is very low. That is why Dr. Chris Shade developed the world’s most advanced phospholipid delivery systems. Today, I wanted to tell you about Quicksilver Scientific’s NAD+ Gold, the currency of energy production. Every decade we’re alive, we produce less and less NAD naturally. Research suggests this loss is at the core of the aging process. But NAD+ Gold allows you to reverse-engineer aging and boost your energy quickly. It truly is Gold!

After first sitting down with Seed co-founder Ara Katz, I began to dig a little deeper into the traditional "probiotic" industry—only to be quite disappointed with the reality of the effectiveness of almost all probiotic products on the market. Seed, on the other hand, has 23 strain-specific clinical studies behind it that demonstrate its effectiveness. Their innovative 2-in-1 capsule also nests the probiotics inside a prebiotic (sourced from Indian pomegranate and organic wild-harvested Scandinavian chaga and pine bark) capsule for additional protection, ensuring the probiotics actually get where they need to be inside of you—your gut.
