Freedom Is You Podcast
Your place to find the power YOU have in what has been troubling you, so you can move forward in a way that feels really good! I have this saying, when you change the way you feel, it changes the way you look at it and when you change the way you look at it... you interact with it differently - that whatever has been troubling you, interacts with you differently.
Shadow work and Self healing meets motherhood, infertility & everything in between. Each moment we are feeling troubled by something/someone, is simply highlighting a dysfunctional emotional connection we have to whatever is happening. So lets create a healthy emotional connection in it's place!
Here is to raising humans who feel safe, understood, calm so they don't have to heal from their childhood and have thriving relationships and a life they don't feel they need to take a vacation from.
Here is to navigating fertility struggles from a place of feeling inner peace and if you don't, knowing how to find it again so you don't lose yourself in the journey.
Here is to having a healthy relationship with your partner where you feel understood, calm and safe so when there are disagreements they get resolved in a calm manner so you can feel more connected then ever.
Here is to making your mind a place you truly want to be.
Here is to helping you be able to interact with others OUTSIDE the dysfunction, including yourself.
I fell into a depression in my first TTC journey after having two early miscarriages that I had to take a mental health leave from work. I ended up with a fertility diagnosis and cried for a week straight. I dug myself out of my depression and found happiness in my journey again, three short months later I got the pregnancy that stuff. My story doesn't end there. I ended up with a happy healthy baby girl but here was the problem - hearing her cries felt overwhelming that I would curl up into a ball and start crying. The intrusive thoughts where I felt sure I was going to accidently harm her, I remember freaking out in my psychologists office "I'm going to manifest her death! I can't stop worrying about it!" To daily fights with my husband feeling like we weren't a priority, feeling unappreciated - one day I realized, I couldn't keep going on this way. The way I felt every day, it wasn't something I wanted for my daughter - I wanted her to have the foundation to thrive in life. I had all the material things that promised me happy but inside, I was far from happy. I was forever arguing with my husband, felt isolated from friends and more like a nuisance then anything, my thoughts were hard to be with, anxiety. So I dove head first into spirituality, started practicing mediumship and offering readings, started exploring the science behind spirituality, neuroscience, mindset, hypnosis, NLP, trauma and somatics. Now? I use my daughters troubling behavior to heal unresolved emotional wounds, no longer giving her troubling behavior oxygen to breathe that the behavior completely resolves. You better bet I've applied it within every other relationship I've had too - the best part? It works. Every single time.

EP 5: Moving through miscarriages (or life) be like….
Have you ever caught yourself saying, “I’m fine” when really you are frustrated, hurt or angry? Or nothing seems to be working so you push that much harder? Have you ever treated how you felt mentally like you did when you were physically hurt?
I share how I noticed me showing up after having my first miscarriage in how I wasn’t handling my internal state like I would had I physically got hurt. It literally buried me emotionally in my journey leading me into a depression. I denied my first miscarriage for the first couple weeks. I found myself reflecting on this because I caught myself in the spot of pushing so damn hard in trying to create this podcast. I was ignoring how I felt internally, I was so caught up with pushing so damn hard to make it happen - low and behold I got sick.
I could no longer ignore what my body & mind were trying to tell me, I had to slow down. I share how I noticed this all showing up, how it was in fact only getting in my way of what it was I wanted most and my process.
