Welcome, everybody! This week, we are joined by Chris Greaves, husband to Elizabeth and proud father to Isabel (15), Camilla (7), and Natalie (3).
I'm excited to share more about Natalie's journey into this world through a home birth.
This episode is particularly special because it's the first time we've had a father on the show to share his story.
Chris will take us through the preparation leading up to the big day, how he navigated his own concerns, and the valuable lessons he’s learned from this experience.
Before we dive in, I want to take a moment to give a big shoutout to Elizabeth, Chris's wonderful wife.
Elizabeth has just released a PDF birth guide called Coming Home, which is designed to help you understand physiological birth and make informed choices within your birth story.
This guide includes two separate workbooks—one for the father and one for the mother—allowing couples to prepare together and also in their own unique ways.

We are joined by Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, a leading expert in yoga therapy and women’s health. Uma’s journey with yoga began in 1969 at just four years old, and she has since become a renowned figure in the field, teaching since 1994 and authoring four influential books.
In this episode, we cover a range of topics that are essential for mothers and women in general:
- Womb Reconnection: Uma shares the importance of reconnecting with the womb space as a source of profound wisdom and intuition.
- Mother-Centered Community: We discuss how modern motherhood has shifted away from communal support systems. Uma emphasizes the need to rebuild mother-centered communities that honor and support women's transitions.
- Signs of Exhaustion: Recognizing the signs of physical, emotional, and spiritual exhaustion and how to nourish the mother back to full health.
- Yoga Nidra and Quality Rest: She explains how this practice can be a powerful tool for mothers to recharge and reclaim their energy.
- Rising to Support One Another: We explore how women can rise to support one another.
In addition to these insights, Uma’s extensive knowledge on yoga therapy for women’s health is highlighted through her books, including Yoni Shakti, Yoga Nidra Made Easy, and Nidra Shakti: An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Yoga Nidra.
Her work is supported by certifications from the International Association of Yoga Therapists and diplomas from the Yoga Biomedical Trust and Mukunda Stiles, blending traditional teachings with contemporary insights.
Uma has also created a library of free Yoga Nidra recordings available to support and deepen your practice (See below)

In this week's episode, your host Danielle reconnects with Lauren, a friend from her early military career. After many years, they reunite to discuss Lauren's decision to remove her breast implants.
Lauren, now 34, is a mother, wife, friend, soldier, and an avid gym and running enthusiast. She resides in Worcestershire with her husband, their 2.5-year-old daughter, and their dog.
Lauren's perspective on life has shifted significantly since becoming a mother. She is on a path of self-discovery, working through childhood trauma, reclaiming her body, and striving to undo years of self-hatred.
She aims to set a positive example for her daughter and women everywhere who struggle in a society that imposes unrealistic expectations on appearance and behavior.
The conversation delves deeply into Lauren's decision to remove her breast implants, known as breast explant surgery.
She shares her initial decision to get implants while still serving in the military and the health issues that emerged, leading to her choice to have them removed. Despite the health challenges, this journey has allowed Lauren to reconnect with herself, question societal influences, and embrace her true self.

Why listen? Learn how to understand your body's language, and create ceremonial spaces to deepen into your truth and relationships. Stop learning and start feeling.
In this episode, we dive into the holistic journey of fertility and preconception, focusing on integrating mind, body, and spirit.
There's an overwhelming amount of information out there—some of it helpful, but much of it may induce unnecessary fear.
It's easy to get lost in the endless to-do lists and protocols, which can overshadow the importance of just being present.

Today I have two incredible guests joining me—Angelica, the original co-host, and Katerina, a dear friend I connected with deeply on our last trip to Peru.
Our conversation today is inspired by my own experience of Waltaska, a powerful postpartum ceremony rooted in Andean traditions.
This ceremony not only supports the healing of the mother but also welcomes home her soul.
We delve into the history, preparation, and journey to explore its deeper meanings and discuss how we can adapt these practices to better serve the unique needs of mothers.

Danielle warmly welcomes Nina as a guest host to hold space for her own birth story.
Leaving her home in France after a surprising pregnancy with her partner of just six months, Danielle embarked on a transformative journey to Costa Rica for a home birth.
Despite her initial reservations about home birth, Danielle, who was holistically trained, had an awakening after watching the documentary "The Business of Being Born" with Ricki Lake. This pivotal moment led her to delve into the world of home birth and undisturbed childbirth.
As Danielle recounts her experience, she opens up about the challenges she faced during her 28-hour labor without the presence of a midwife or doula. Overwhelmed by fear, she ultimately sought medical support.
She goes on to share the trauma she endured during the birth, including the intrusive hands of doctors, the loss of control and voice in the birthing room, and the heart-wrenching separation from her partner.
In Danielle's postpartum journey, she shares of the loneliness she felt without a supportive tribe. The lack of connection during this vulnerable period prompted Danielle to create this podcast, as she realized the importance of sharing stories, creating awareness, and building a community for those navigating the complexities of childbirth and postpartum.
Join Danielle and Nina in this emotionally charged episode as they explore the highs, lows, and transformative moments that shaped Danielle's journey from fear to empowerment.

Today's episode welcomes Julia. Julia left behind her corporate life in 2020, and with her husband made a bold decision to forge a new path. They set out to create an off-grid homestead, embracing a life deeply connected to nature in the heart of the wilderness.
Imagine this: at 38 weeks pregnant, Julia went into labor while living in her off-grid RV. With her partner by her side, she embarked on a journey to bring their son, Bruce Lee, into the world. Cozy in the forested mountains of Montana, far from the conventional hospital setup, Julia embraced an undisturbed childbirth.

How can movement support a healthy and nourishing pregnancy?
Moving in a way that honors your body can instantly shift your mood, why? Because the body and mind are not separate. Staying stuck in a position causes unnecessary tension, which prevents fresh blood flow and removal of waste efficiently, it creates a build of energy that may act like a roadblock for other areas of your body.

A birth plan is created to explore preference for when you go into labor and following birth. It is a way to explore options and prepare for different scenarios so that you and your birth team are all singing from the same song sheet. This way you can receive the best possible care and support.
There are many examples of birth plans which can leave you feeling unenthused as you work through hundreds of questions, leaving you with a novel which may be overwhelming for you and your team.
So, how can we create a ‘plan’ for something that is so far away from a linear event in time?
We educate, visualize, meditate and create birthing preferences documents, thus holding space for any unknowns.
