Today I am welcoming Giana Vasconcellos, MPH, Perinatal Health Educator, Doula & Student Midwife! Join us as we discuss common problems within the maternal healthcare system, including, the Maternal Care Deserts. If you live in America, you’re more than likely in one of these deserts where access to care and access to choice is not reality for every woman in the way that it should be. Tune in as we discuss various scenarios and how you can navigate finding a care provider, advocating for yourself throughout your pregnancy and finding perinatal-postpartum support!

Where do you find your peace? What is the foundation on which you stand? Today I am having a conversation with mother, grandmother and mentor, Leslie Hudson. Leslie faced tragedy when her son got into a life-altering accident at age 17. Listen in as we discuss what it looks like to lean into God and trust Him with your family throughout a tragedy and even now, almost 20 years later.

How does your body feel? Today we’re getting real and talking about all things sex, pelvic floor, trauma work and most importantly, tapping into how your body truly feels. If you’ve ever struggled with owning your autonomy and you have a desire to learn more about your pelvic floor, this episode is for you!
