72. Hydronephrosis in Pregnancy: Nephrostomy Tube, Ureteral Stent, Kidney Surgery

58m · Published 20 Dec 21:01

In this episode, I’m taking you on an adventure through all of my kidney woes during pregnancy. This is the resource I wish I would have had when I first was diagnosed with severe hydronephrosis in the ER at 17 weeks pregnant. I’m sharing what I went through to hopefully help someone else on their journey.

 

We’ll cover my diagnosis, the three procedures that followed, nephrostomy tube vs ureteral stent pros and cons based on my experience having both, and my eventual kidney surgery (pyeloplasty) at 22 weeks pregnant. 

 

I hope this helps you if you’re going through something similar. Stay strong mama! You WILL make it to the other side!

71. Why I'm Choosing a Natural Homebirth

58m · Published 28 Nov 05:00

I dove headfirst into learning as much as possible about different birthing options as soon as I found out I was pregnant and WOW is there a lot of information to sort through… Hospital birth or homebirth or birthing center? Midwife or OB? Pain meds or no meds? 

In today’s episode I’ll share how my intuition and personal research led me to planning my future homebirth and a few key pieces of information that *shocked* me along the way.

Remember… there is no right or wrong way to birth your baby! My only desire with this episode is to empower you through my experience thus far and pass on what I’ve been learning.

70. What Does Your Happiness Depend On?

45m · Published 07 Nov 05:00

What if life throws you a curveball instead of delivering the pretty, perfect image from your vision board?

What do you do? How do you continue to trust, learn, and grow when faced with an unexpected challenge or a manifestation that doesn't work out?

These are questions I've been grappling with recently as my pregnancy has most definitely NOT been going according to the plans I had made in my head. Today on the podcast, I'll share how I've been using my own unexpected challenges as an opportunity to wake up and build a sense of self - and happiness - that is pure and independent.

56m · Published 04 Oct 04:05

In today's episode, Sarah Vie, an author, energy healer, and spiritual mentor, is here to help us release the unhelpful patterns we've carried on from our ancestors.

As crazy as it sounds - your DNA remembers the pain, joy, and everything in between that your previous THREE generations of ancestors have experienced.

Releasing unskillful habits picked up from my lineage has been extremely helpful in my own healing path and I'm excited to share all these tips from Sarah today as she educates us on how to reprogram our thought patterns, step into our highest potential, and become a magnet for balance, health, and happiness.

26m · Published 30 Aug 04:05

It’s stressful AF when it feels like life isn’t going our way, when our manifestations seem far away, when it feels like we’re failing…

What are we supposed to do in those times?

A lot of mindfulness teachers might tell you to take baby steps when you’re in this situation... Add 10 minutes to your morning meditation, ground yourself outside, do some breath work, etc. But that wasn't working for me this year.

Press play to learn my simple strategy that has helped me release doubt and welcome so much beauty, progress, and transformation into my life.
