We discussed

- Childhood vaccines
- Nutrition, veganism, raw milk and everything in between
- Making choices that are different from the rest of our family
and more...

Agnes shares her story of discovering her scoliosis while in school as a teenager, receiving surgery and the subsequent pain that developed shortly thereafter. With multiple car accidents, motherhood and more, Agnes has had the opportunity to both live out the story was given and also write her own. With mindset, focus and decision, she's carved a new path for herself and has shared her success with her clients as an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, Pain Reprocessing Therapy Coach and Buteyko Restorative Breathing Coach.

Agnes helps busy moms with scoliosis and arthritis break free from debilitating pain, fatigue and anxiety and reclaim their lives so that they can keep up with their family and friends, travel and have energy to do what they love. She supports others in regaining agency over their health and understanding their unique needs so that they may lead their version of a healthy life.

In this episode, Natalia shares her experience navigating the waters of the Postpartum phase as a new mother, the lack of understanding she had around it and the mourning she experienced over the loss of the village that once held women and birth in such a different way.

From newfound fears, depression and her infant vomiting blood, she, like many had a blunt and brutal transition from Maiden to Mother. Where once there were red tents where births were held sacred in the company of aunts, grandmothers and maidens, where knowledge was lovingly shared throughout the generations of women, and where young girls grew up fully aware of the challenges of motherhood, now many struggle to find community and support. New mothers are left feeling isolated and alone in their journey.

Eric Neumann's book, The Great Mother dives into the feminine as represented in folklore : a goddess, a master, a gate or gatekeeper, a pillar, tree, a moon, a sun, and vessel and every animal from snakes to birds. He dives into the universal experience of the maternal as both nurturing and fearsome.

Pattie Ashley wrote the book, Living in the Shadow of the Too-Good Mother Archetype - Revealing the truth about being a good enough mother and dispelling the myths of being a perfect parent.

We also dive into early motherhood from the perspective of German New Medicine, so stick around that for that in the closing. And of course the discount code: MOTHER for 10% OFF all Bloem orders through the month of May.
