WISE WOMEN DIARIES

Nicole (@theseedofjoy_ on instagram) is a truly conscious and intentional emotional guide to her four sons. She is a safe authority figure for her children. Nicole speaks on the physicality of raising boys, how she guides them through emotional sibling dynamics, and asserting boundaries for herself and for the family unit.  Nicole shows me that parenthood the way I know is possible.... is possible, because she is doing it. She has an online offering called "Raising Sons," which is a two hour workshop exploring the challenges, the honor and the gift of raising sons into great men! Part 1 with Nicole details her four births: two hospital births and two unassisted homebirths, with so much wisdom gained and lineage patterns healed.

Nicole (@theseedofjoy_ on instagram) is a powerful storyteller. She journey's us through the four births of her sons: two hospital births and two freebirths... with incredible wisdom gained and lineage patterns healed.  I also suggest listening to Nicole's beautiful episode on the Healing Birth podcast titled "Channeling the Cosmos." This is the episode where I discovered Nicole and knew I had to connect with her!  Part 2 is an episode about Nicole's conscious, intentional parenting of her four sons. She has an online offering, "Raising Sons," for conscious mother's navigating the challenge and complete honor of raising sons into great men.

Ego Parenting: Power + Control + Fear + Victimhood |  Conscious Parenting: Empathy + Curiosity + Radical Responsibility Most conscious parents were raised in classic, conditional, punishing homes, yet are doing the deepest work of overriding ego programming to be the parent they needed when they were a child! For anyone wanting more information, I love Dr Shefali's work on Conscious Parenting.... she has numerous books and podcasts!

Every week I get obsessed with certain topics, then talk about it on my Instagram stories, in my journal, and with friends. This week I am talking about: Do you believe you need to make your child Good? What is agency? As an adult are you acting like you don't have agency, which perpetuates your victimhood? Dr Shefali Tsabary talks about how the parent-child relationship is transactional, so why is it transactional (conditional)?  Why is food addiction so popular? Why do many women knee-jerk say "no" to their partners in regards to sex? What could transform that no to a yes? 

Taylor Cole (@taylorcole) is a mother of three and a root cause nutritionist, passionate about helping mothers nourish themselves and feel better. Taylor and I discuss her personal growth as a mother, how she nourishes herself amongst the busyness of three children, why she chose to cut alcohol out of her life for a full year so far, and the shifts that occur in marriage when we drastically change but our partner doesn't at the same pace.

Kassie is now an authentic midwife but reflects on her four births, beginning at the age of 19. Throughout her 20's, she discovered her passion of homebirth, becoming a doula, then a midwife, and she even got fired from a midwife practice for "trusting birth too much." Hence, she now practices as a traditional midwife, attracting clients that do not want an authority figure in birth, just the simple presence of a wise woman. 

Niecia Nelson (@iamaltar on instagram) shares her beautiful, radical homebirth on a little island in Canada..... from 17 years ago. It is an incredible story that brought me to tears and left me speechless in so many moments.   Niecia is a mother, teacher + steward of the feminine frequency that rests in the female physiology. She chaperones women back to their true nature using a psycho-biological approach that is grounded in the wisdom of their own bodies. Niecia believes that robust fertility, abundant energy, and embracing of motherhood are all birth rights for every woman. That belief shepherded her through her own dance with burnout, diet culture, and complex PTSD, and landed her in her body for the first time in her adult life. Since then, she has dedicated her time to understanding how our relationships with nature, nutrition and minerals influence and direct our psychology and perception of the world around us. Niecia’s offerings are a rare pairing of psychology and bioenergetics, drawing on both her diverse professional background and her eternal studies at the feet of the universe.   Niecia's offering: "Every woman is born into a body which becomes their physical house for the rest of their lives. If we want to ground down into our potential, we must tend to our house at the roots. Eat To Go Deep is a rich nutrition and physiology program that guides you to prepare your body and mind to receive deeper threads of expansion - whether that is spiritual work, nervous system re-patterning, womb work, unwinding of complex trauma, or even receiving abundance . We touch on everything from minerals, to eating for your latitude, to what nervous system practices are appropriate for what bioenergetic patterns (hormonal imbalances etc), to how food changes your psychology, and so much more.  Eat To Go Deep is the course I needed during my biggest transformations, but couldn't find, and it ties together the most important aspects of my work: food, energy, nature, psychology, bioenergetics."

When we don't trust, we want to control. This is the crux of what Katelyn had to learn through a hard miscarriage, a traumatic hospital birth, and a homebirth with her second daughter. Katelyn tells her story from the place of the most power: radical responsibility. 

German New Medicine | I have shed the belief that body symptoms are wrong or stupid, or that you can eat perfect and have no body symptoms. I have learned the basics of German New Medicine, which has freed my mind and body from the fear of gluten, sugar, seed oils, germs, and cancer! I discovered how my "seasonal allergies" were an intelligent adaptation of my body, reversing my victim mentality to Peace. Listen to this episode if you want TRUE FREEDOM from Fear! I highly recommend listening to any podcasts with Dr Melissa Sell. Her knowledge on German New Medicine is profound.  Email me at wisewomendiaries@gmail.com if you have an amazing German New Medicine healing story you would love to share on the podcast!

The two big topics I am talking about this month: Are a difference of values the cause of friction in relationships?  Do we only show up and love people when its convenient for us?
