In this soulful conversation, Lisa Watson and regular guest, Isabella Clark, sit down with Kaley Kroschinsky—Maternal Wellness Educator, grassroots midwifery-trained, yoga-informed, and lactation specialist—to explore how our earliest experiences program the nervous system… and how reparenting begins before birth.
We unpack how a baby attunes to the mother’s nervous system in utero, why the golden hour, skin-to-skin, and co-regulation are foundational, and how breast/chestfeeding done in a laid-back, baby-led way supports safety, bonding, and long-term regulation. We also name the culture matrix—fear, over-medicalization, isolation—and offer sovereign tools to rewrite the script.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- How prenatal stress vs. safety becomes early nervous-system programming we later reparent
- Why co-regulation + oxytocin (birth/early postpartum) create secure imprints
- Practical supports: breath, music, affirmations, partner roles, and the B.R.A.I.N. advocacy tool
- Gentle insight on C-sections, baby blues vs. postpartum depression, and healing without shame
- Laid-back breastfeeding (aka natural/biological nursing) to reduce pain and improve latch
- Delayed cord clamping, the golden hour, and why community matters for modern families
Reparenting takeaway: When we center safety, attunement, and sovereignty around conception, birth, and postpartum, we interrupt inherited dysregulation and model regulated love—for ourselves and the generations to come.
