Aligned Womb, Aligned You

Fertility struggles can be such a crippling and defeating journey to be on. Partially this is due to us never being taught about all the resources that are at our finger tips.

Instead we sit in a broken state until we cannot bear it, we go to the doctor and get more bad news and then we just pray that something with change without knowing where to seek that change.

In this episode I am going to share 3 tips on how you can start to shift from defeat to feeling supported and back in a state of hope. You are far from broken, you just need the right tools to feel different and to know that you have choice.

I know all to well how it feels to be diagnosed with a fertility issue that makes you feel broken and hopeless on your journey to being a mother.

I had 3 ectopic pregnancies

I was told I would not have a successful pregnancy without surgery and IVF

BUT I found a way….

I crafted my perfect holistic team of professionals to help me heal and to give me hope on my journey.

If you have been struggling to get pregnant or are living with a devastating fertility diagnosis, then you will want to tune into this weeks episode to hear my story of overcoming fertility issues and building my family of 3 kids without medical intervention.

So many of you asked for more information on period products…

• Disposable vs Re-Usable

• Pads vs Tampons

• What about period underwear

• And what the heck is free bleeding

In this episode, I give you the low down on my personal opinion on all these products, how they affect my body, and what I personally use. I can honestly say that Period Positivity has created an era of so many great options for our bleed time. Gone are the days of the commercials only promoting blue liquid poured on Always Pads.

We deserve better and we have better! Tune in to hear all about it.

Just over a week ago I attended the Wild Rose Festival (a women’s only festival) and it was so powerful. The message that kept landing with me in so many of the talks I attended was around reclaiming the feminine in ourself, in our communities, and as a collective.

In this episode I want to dive into how we can start to take the small steps in doing this. How can we start living more fully into our power and healing the parts of us where we hold shame, doubt and fear.

When we heal the divine feminine, we ultimately unlock our womb and really embrace the magic that makes us women.

p.s. want to dive deeper into healing the divine feminine, join me in the Sisterhood where I have a whole Moon Module on Rooting into the Divine Feminine.

So this just happened….I had my first painful period in probably 10 years!

It took me by surprise, but in all reality it shouldn’t have. I was not taking care of my cycle and I was pushing through when I need to take it easy and rest.

It’s funny how our goal orientated part of the brain tells us it will be fine - just do it even though our intuition is screaming at us that this will be a bad idea.

In this episode I will share the bad (or not so in alignment) choices I made, how it effected my bleed and what I learned from it. Hopefully this will help you get curious as to how you too may be living out of alignment with your hormones which could be affecting your bleed days.

Summer time…the never ending list of places to be and things to do!

Let’s be real, summer is a whole lot of fun that often results in burnout.

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but there are ways we can jump with two feet without feeling destroyed by the end of it.

In this episode we are going to look at my 3 tips to keep you enjoying all that summer has to offer while meeting your body with what it needs to regulate and stay balanced.

1. Get creative on who you can still honour your cyclical rhythm while doing all the fun things of summer

2. Really embrace the fullness of summer for what it does for your system (body, mind, spirit)

3. Show gratitude for the amazing adventure, but create the exit strategy to bring life back into balance after the fun

   
   

So, go have fun and enjoy the earth’s version of ovulation!

Summer Vacation = Fun & Draining all at the same time!

In this weeks episode we explore how to use your cycle to parent in alignment with your energy. This will allow for you to do the things that bring rushes of joy with your kids, but also gives you permission for down time to honour your energy and cycle needs.

Tune in and learn how good cyclical balance is the key to thrive and excel as a parent this summer.

Often, it’s not the to-do lists that I create that create the overwhelm and stress. It is the non stop mental workload that is constantly running in the background. It is the thoughts that keep me awake, the micro-managing of the to-do list, and endless storage of facts and details that I need to know in order to keep the home and my work life flowing.

And at times it is just too damn much!

Today, Ellen Hooper is going to guide us on how we can start taking steps to share and off-load the mental workload. As you will learn in this episode, it is a bit of trusting that failure is ok (I know…for most of us women we may be clenching our jaws at the thought). Ellen is brilliant at showing us that when we allow others to fail we create room for growth, compassion, and freedom for ourselves.

In this episode, we will explore:

• Parental burnout & trusting our partner’s

• Being the next generation of Role Model’s for community and our children

• The universal experience that women face that “no one takes care of me like I take care of everyone else”

• Allowing our partners to experiential learn through allowing them to fail

Ellen Hooper is a people and culture expert. She's a certified coach with the International Coaching Federation, an accredited mediator, a passionate speaker and loves to help individuals and groups to grow and develop. Her clients call her a coaching magician and a total legend who helps them get unstuck. She has been described by the Australian of the Year as her 'secret weapon'. And she is here to share all her secrets with us today.

Does the idea of putting yourself first feel impossible? You are not alone. I think most women fall in the pattern of care giving and nurturer that we automatically put ourselves last in our careers, in our homes and in our relationships.

Today on the podcast, Jessica Oyanagi, joins us to chat about Tapping into your feminine nature to design a life you truly desire! And guess what? Putting yourself first is her core teaching.

Jessica Oyanagi is passionate about leading a conscious, desire driven life and teaching women how to live fully too!

Jessica wants women to have continuous access to the education, community support, and tools they need to become a joyful, flourishing woman. Most importantly though, she believes in helping women discover their true power and reach their fullest potential in life!

Have you ever sat in your car taking deep breathes to calm your anxiety before going in to see your doctor? Advocating for our health can be scary as hell. As women it is very common to feel unheard in our hormone health concerns. It may even feel like our only option is to stay feeling broken.

This week on the podcast, I have my very good friend, Heidi Mason, joining me in an open, honest and raw conversation on both our experiences within the Bio-Medical structure (aka…our current medical system) and why it may feel like its failing us and what we can do to feel empowered when advocating for ourselves.

Heidi, a former physiotherapist, brings so many great perspectives to this conversation, such as:

• How the swing in dogmatic views of healthcare are not working and how we need to find balance

• How authoritative ego is contributing to women not receiving the care they are asking for

• How we are a consumer of health care and there for we need to have clarity on what we want and know we may need to see more then one practitioner to find the right solution for us

• Lastly, we are WORTHY of excellent care and for our concerns to be heard and treated.

Make sure to listen to the end to hear our top tips to feeling empowered in receiving health care for your concerns.

Have you ever pondered how going to the Doctor always induces a feeling of fear and brokenness?

Maybe it’s just me 🤔!

In this episode, I share how during my last bleed I received clarity on why I resist seeing doctors…and dentists and how health or medicine really feels like very masculine approach for me. Current mainstream medicine is seen as the TRUTH and yet it makes me nervous, fearful, and often feeling broken with the only option to healing being that from an outside source. In this realization, I began to then question what would feel better then? What is the opposite? What would be medicine if it was guided and crafted by a feminine approach?

The answer…..well, I guess you will have to tune in and listen to find out.

Side note, but Important note…

Menstruation can be a powerful time for insights into your life. To all of a sudden have a flashlight glaring at a belief or pattern that is not of service to you living your best life. I always love waiting for the “Bleed Reveal” to happen each month. It is like revealing a another layer to my self healing journey.

Finding hope after having a miscarriage can feel like an impossible task. The grief, the shame, the worry that our body is broken - these are all emotions that I felt with every loss and I know so many others feel too.

So this week I am chatting with Dr. Briana Lutz, ND to help us understand miscarriage more deeply and the steps we can take to begin our healing journey. As a Naturopathic Doctor she shares how looking at your whole health can help you find the right healing plan that will take you from feeling hopeless to hopeful on your journey into conception.

She treats conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, and functional hormone issues resulting in PMS, heavy, painful periods, and acne. Dr. Lutz supports family planning options and contraception, as well as women in natural hormone transitions such as post-partum and menopause.

So it’s that time of the month again and you are dreading the next week! I am guessing you are probably even saying to yourself “I cannot wait until the day I don’t have to bleed ever again!”

In this episode, I join you during my own bleed time, but rather then bashing my period, I show up in my true authentic energy of my inner winter. I am honest with how I am feeling and I don’t try to be my inner spring version for you.

More importantly, I share my 3 hot tips of how I care for myself so that I can have painless periods, feel at home in my body, and stop any people pleasing that my trained mind may think I need to do.

Our periods are powerful times and they need to cared for. So tune into this eposide to learn exactly the most powerful 3 things you can do during your menstruation (inner winter) to support your body and help your hormones balance.

Have you ever looked into the eye’s of a cute little puppy and felt the urge to stuff them in your purse so that you could hug them and love them forever?

Well, STOP + LISTEN to this episode….

Before making that spontaneous buy, ask yourself where you are in your cycle and are your hormones tricking you into believing this is a good idea.

Join me in the humourous conversation with my bestie on how she bought Mr. Darcy, her new puppy, as a spontaneous buy in her inner spring. Now although Mr. Darcy turned out to be the right purchase for her, we chat about how our cycle does play into these spontaneous purchases that can sometimes turn out to not be such a good decision.

Although this episode is filled with laughter and fun chat between two close friends, my hope is that it sparks some curiousity into your own spending habits or decision making processes. Our hormones play a huge role in how we feel, what we decide, and how we celebrate our choices. So give it a listen and pounder about what you bought lately that may have been a hormonal decision!

This episode might just be that aha moment for you to understand why you leaped when really you should have zagged.

Raise your hand if you can relate to feeling like a burnt out mom 🙋‍♀️

I know I sure have felt this way and still do some days. Being a mom, regardless if you are primarily at home or in the office is a BIG JOB. Add in our cyclical shifts, illness, and our desire to be the perfect parent and we can begin to feel defeated.

This week we have Darci Hawxhurst joining us who shares her story of mothering a brain injured child, how she hit rock bottom, and what she learned about healing and self-care as a mom.

In this episode, we will talk about

• how we both hit places in our journey that made us question and inquire what was our truth in healing our bodies and helping our children thrive

• pushing through our period exhaustion and how that is destroying women’s health and vitality

• the relationship between pushing against our natural tendencies and cortisol surges

• our emotional states are a gift of knowledge, so we need to stop stuffing them

• how to parent with your cycle in mind

Period pain is not only debilitating for some women, but it is a monthly event that many suffer in silence. Men have not been taught how to hold space for women who experience this monthly take down and women have not been coached on how to care for themselves so that they can have tools to thrive during these painful days.

Birth control and the removal of the uterus are not the only options. There are other ways, for us women, to come into relationship with our pain to either heal it or to be with the pain without it feeling like it is destroying us. Menstrual pain is a way in which our body is trying to communicate with us, so that we can tune into our cycle even deeper.

In this episode, we have Colleen Jorgensen join us to explain how we can be in a relationship with pain and to make it our friend and not our enemy. She will also share some common presentations that happen in the body with period pain and how she has coached her clients with tools such as simple movements to find pain relief.

Colleen Jorgensen is an Osteopath, a graduate of Pain Care U’s Professional Pain Care program and a therapeutic Pilates, yoga and Somatics teacher.

It can be hard to follow your life’s purpose and work in a job that you are passionate about. For many of us, we fall into roles that pay the bills or feel socially acceptable. BUT sometimes when we dare to leap and follow our heart’s desire, we can come out the otherside living our passion.

This week, Rebecca Canup joins us to share her journey of leaping from her job in healthcare to her dream job as a poet and how to get here she needed to….

• Heal her womb
• Get vulnerable with her fears and her desires
• Trust that making the move would provide her with the life she dreamed of

Jumping is not always easy, but it is always worth it when we follow the whispers of our heart, our womb and our truth.

Rebecca Canup is a Canadian poet and writer. In 2020 she left her full time healthcare job to pursue writing full time. Since then she has birthed her first two poetry books - “Women Born in Fire, Burning with Grace and Other Lessons” and “Where the Sand Meets the Ocean”- as well as birthing her son.

Let the old saying “Work hard and it will pay off” be thrown out with yesterday’s garbage.

💥 Women don’t need to work harder, we need to work cyclically! 💥

What does this look like? Well it starts by knowing our cycle and feeling into the shifts in our energy, our motivation, and how the tasks we are drawn to do shift depending on what season we are in.

Each of our seasons brings a skill set that helps us work more efficiently, more creatively, and with more precision when we tap into that seasons strength rather than always powering through to meet a 40 hour work week requirement.

So how do we do this? Listen to this weeks episode where I will share the strengths that lie in each phase of our cycle and help you begin to think outside the box of how we can work more cyclically in our jobs.

PMS….

What so many of us suffer from on varying degrees.  Symptoms ranging from irritation to rage to insomnia to pain radiating in some part of our body.

But here’s the thing, PMS is a symptomatic condition of the times we are living in within modern society. PMS is our body trying to get our attention because we are living out of alignment with our hormones and what are body is needing to maintain healthy balance.

In this episode, it is my mission to reframe how we see PMS manifesting in our body and having the tools so that we can tune into the wisdom of our womb so we can actually feel the amazing gift that our inner fall offers us.

I will share…

• How modern society is creating PMS
• How Men have a PMS phase and how they cope
• And my 7 Tools to living connected to our inner fall so we can conquer and eliminate these PMS symptoms from our life once and for all.

So join me in learning all about the truth of PMS and how we can live more inspired by the energy of our inner fall.

Over the past century women’s bodies have been over medicalized as a band aid solution to silence our menstrual symptoms and gynecological issues. Yet women’s bodies and hormonal systems are not always taken into consideration in medical research and doctors are not being trained in hormone balancing (listening and investigating root causes).

So how can we expect women to know and trust their body when those we seek advice from don’t really understand it either?

The silent hormone epidemic does not only affect our health as women, but it is leaving us confused, self-doubting and judgemental to other women.

I truly believe that because we have been ignored and our experiences have been minimized, we in return have taken this emotional imprinting and added to the sisterhood wound we see in our daily life.

The wound of thinking that other women should push through their symptoms, that we are to not ask for help or rest and that to be valuable and equal we need to sacrifice our health.

In this episode, I will share some of my own lived experience of how I stayed silent for so long in my life and what my big vision is for the future - women holding space for others women to be cyclical and judgment free.

So join me as we unpack how medicine has made us feel broken and how our next womb-led tip of bringing back the felt sense of the red tent can be the first step to healing women, the sisterhood wound, and getting us all back to cyclical living.

Endometriosis is a condition that can take years to be diagnosed. For many women with this condition they live with debilitating menstrual pain and often are only given two options by modern medicine - birth control pill or hysterectomy.

Jamie K lived with endometriosis for 20 years before a doctor finally diagnosed her. During that time she was told by many physicians the pain was in her head. When she was finally diagnosed, she was at stage 4 with endometriosis on 12 organs.

Not only did Jamie heal her body of endometriosis, she went on to having 2 kids in her late 30 & early 40’s, and now helps women understand their condition while providing tools and options to balance their hormones and achieve pain free periods.

In today’s episode Jamie shares:

• Her Journey into getting an official diagnosis
• How she had to strongly advocate for the treatment plan she desired
• Finding the right doctor who supported her approach to healing endometriosis
• How Mayan Abdominal Massage woke up her up in an unexpected way
• Her 3 tips to start your journey to living in peace and healing your endometriosis

This conversation will be reassuring to anyone who feels like they are fighting an uphill battle with endometriosis. I am still shocked to hear these stories of how women need to fight so damn hard to be heard and believed when it comes to issues of the womb. BUT, Jamie really does show us that when you listen to your gut and don’t allow yourself to be bullied, you can come out the otherside with exactly what you wanted.

Trying to understand how to balance your hormones for ease throughout your monthly cycle can feel like you are stumbling in a dark basement without any light - overwhelming with little hope of the outcome you are desiring.

For most of us, we haven’t been encouraged to be curious about our hormones. In fact we probably know very little, never mind how we can have the power to balance them for deeper wellness.

Madeline MacKinnon is a hormone nutritionist who has been coaching women for 10 years on how to eat for their menstrual cycle and their hormones. She is dedicated to helping women recover from debilitating hormone imbalances through holistic strategies to balance their hormones and improve their fertility without synthetic hormones or medications.

And so today, Madeline is going to give us the 101 on nutrition and how we can nourish our hormones for deeper wellness.

• How might we know we have an imbalance in a specific hormone like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone
• What are some superfoods to get our hormones back on balance
• How the diet culture has been wrecking our hormone balance and how 10 years later you may be just now seeing the negative side effects
• And Madeline lets the cat out of the bag on her big surprise! You won’t want to miss this announcement.

I loved this conversation with Madeline MacKinnon so much. Nutrition is something I struggle with as a mom with 3 kids and I am realized from this conversation that my hormones are not functioning at their best. So expect to hear Madeline again on this podcast as I need to know more about my hormones and what the heck is going on.

Until then, I am going to plug my nose, get down an oyster and chase it with some good dark chocolate.
