Sufi’s experiences as an assistant midwife and doula led her to recognize that a lot more was going on behind the scenes at births and during postpartum than met the eye. She noticed that Loss and Grief affect birth and Postpartum outcomes, then discovered that giving those aspects a voice would often change the terrain of the physical and the outcome. As an intuitive, Sufi is able to troubleshoot issues, share messages from little ones, as well as share the essence of who your baby is as a soul and how you may want to proceed and interact to best serve your baby.In this episode of Mother the Mother:What Sufi’s received during her readingsAdjusting to your family’s rhythmsBeing a virtual doulaTree meditation for groundingInformation coming through Sufi’s baby readingsSufi’s experience with her c-sectionCreating moments for yourself to rechargeFollow Sufi:IG: @spiritbabywhispererThis show is produced by Soulfire Productions

The last time we had Jana Roemer on the show, she shared how we can use Yoga Nidra to promote peace and rest in motherhood (and beyond). I didn’t even know it at the time, but she was newly pregnant — and now she has a gorgeous two-month-old baby! So, she came back to share her postpartum journey and how she set herself up to thrive by using lessons learned from her first pregnancy.

I have been with my partner for a little over 10 years now, and I have changed so much. When I look at our relationship today, I can see how we handle things with so much more grace, compassion, and honesty than we did even just a few years ago — and when I reflect on the path that brought us here, I see how we probably wouldn’t have made it to this point if we weren’t brought to our knees and forced to intentionally work on ourselves and our relationship in the process. So, today, I want to reflect on the last decade with my husband, giving you a glimpse of my life as a wife and a mother.

I met Marisa Peck Johnson when we were both new moms, and I don’t have enough good things to say about her: she makes me cry laughing every time I see her, she is so well-spoken, and she is willing to advocate for her own physical, emotional, and spiritual health. Plus, she’s one of the rockin’ female co-founders of Hello Human, which unlocks the potential of teams by leveraging both Western and Eastern methodologies. I ran into Marisa a few weeks and we just had the deepest conversation about the poignant topic of nanny care. She listened to me, which I am so grateful for, and then she offered some really valuable insight. So I asked her to come on the show because I wanted to share some of that insight (and humor!) with all of you, too.

Sarah Naia Soleil’s sequence of being conceived was the initial spark that ignited her passion for the invisible doorways and non-verbal realms that surround us. A mother of two, Sarah received the gift of experiencing a life-changing transcendent state of consciousness during the four-and-a-half-hour birth of her son. This initiation led her to study midwifery and serve as a birth doula, which has been apart of her journey ever since.

Today I want to start a conversation about a topic that I seem to talk about almost every single day with my friends: hiring childcare help. This is such a huge question, especially for working mothers, and people have really strong opinions on every side of this debate — and my intention with this episode is not to pick a side but to start a conversation. Nothing I’m sharing today is a judgment on you, your nanny, or your mothers. This is just a really complicated topic that has a lot of nuanced variables, and I think we’re doing ourselves a disservice when we don’t bring these conversations to the table. There’s a lot of shame, guilt, and blame out there, even just in communities for mothers, but shame has no home here on Mother the Mother.
