77: Strong, Calm, and Connected: Birth, Training & Trusting Your Body with Sierra Robertson
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of FERN Rising, I sit down with Sierra Robertson for our very first conversation—despite the fact that our husbands have been connected through social media for years. And honestly, it felt like we were picking up mid-conversation.
Sierra shares her experience through five births, offering a grounded and refreshing perspective on pregnancy, motherhood, and trusting your body. We also touch on homeschooling and the rhythms of raising a growing family—but what really stands out in this conversation is the power of staying calm, tuning in, and letting your body lead.
We dive into the role of strength training before and during pregnancy, and how building a strong, capable body can completely shift your experience of pregnancy, labor, and recovery.
This episode is a reminder that your body is not something to fight against—it’s something to understand, support, and trust.
In this episode, we cover:
- Sierra’s experience with five pregnancies and births
- Why staying calm and relaxed matters more than you think
- The impact of strength training on pregnancy and birth outcomes
- Learning to listen to your body (and quiet the outside noise)
- A glimpse into homeschooling and family life
Whether you're preparing for pregnancy, currently expecting, or simply want to feel more connected to your body—this conversation will leave you feeling empowered and grounded.
