I'm back!
It's been a hot minute since I've posted a new episode, but I am here!
I'm also working on new content and resources - let me know what you want to hear about here.
As I have been navigating diagnosis, treatment, and recovery from a number of health issues while also serving breastfeeding toddler families, I have noticed a few parallels between my own path to health, and the path to breastfeeding & weaning ease.
In this episode I share about my own my sense of "felt safety" around wasps - yellow jackets to be exact, and how the timeline of the ebb and flow of the intensity of my fear coincided with the timeline of the intensity of my stress/overwhelm.
I use that parallel to describe how our stress as humans shows up in our breastfeeding & parenting.
From there, I provide 2 different ways to support a felt sense of safety so that you can in turn cultivate ease in your breastfeeding (and most other areas of life!):
#1 - Soaking in the positive moments (because our negativity bias feeds our fear/stress).
#2 - Meeting our fears/stress with kindness and self-compassion (because ignoring, catastrophizing, and/or arguing with ourselves only serves to reinforce and grow our fears and stress.)
Try these 2 things out this week and then use the "fan mail"/text me option to let me know how they have made a difference for you.
