Today we are discussing the language used around pregnancy and birth.

Pregnant Women are vulnerable and highly suggestive, the are listening to everyone around them, care givers, family, friends, partners, random people on the street.

The Words we use around pregnancy can be uplifting , empowering, inspiring and can also be the polar opposite undermining, fear inducing and we often don’t realise the impact that words can have on women, often leaving the them feeling overwhelmed, fear of not being enough, feeling that she might fail within her birth.

We both feel strongly about this topic and want people surrounding any pregnancy to be be mindful of the conversations we are having with women and how we can change our communication.

If you need support or any coaching please do not hesitate to contact us.

So if you are working within the birthing industry or you’re pregnant or recently became a mum, please listen to this episode and share.

Today we are interviewing Nikki McCahon, a most inspiring, beautiful woman, a Mumma to Arley and wife to Darren.

This episode is Insightful and brilliant for all mums to be and all those in the thick of post partum stage.

Nikki is a Matrescence Educator and Women’s life cycle guide

Nikki is the founder of ‘The Dear Mama Project’ podcaster, a coach a facilitator of intimate women’s circles and workshops both in person and online.

Nikki believes ‘When a baby is born, so too is a mother. Both are vulnerable, unsteady and trying to make sense of this new world’

Motherhood unravels us, and reweaves us. It leaves no woman as it found her. It cracks us open, takes us to our edges. It’s both beautiful and brutal, often at the same time.

Nikki’s journey with matrescence and initiation into this work was painful, joyful, challenging and disorientating. Whilst it didn’t feel like it at the time, it was the making of her as a person. Nikki created the Dear Mama Project as a soft landing place for you to explore your own transformation.

Enjoy every moment and here are some details if you wish to connect with Nikki after this episode.

Birth Trauma is real and couple possibly affects 1 in 3 women. 

Birth trauma looks and feels different to every woman, birth partner and even birth workers.

In this podcast Shari & Nicola interview an inspiring Mumpreneur, Jenni Cauchi a formulator and founder of skin care range Blum, Brisbane born, a wife & mum of a beautiful little boy.

Jenni shares her life and the up’s and downs of trying to become a mum and breaking the stressful career path…

Jenni was thriving in her career as an Interior Designer, but working exhaustive hours in a high stress environment.

She was totally happy riding the adrenaline wave until it slapped Jenni in the face (so to speak) . I would most likely have to have IVF or assisted conception. I set out on a quest for answers, If I cannot do what I am fundamentally programmed to do as a woman then what on earth was I doing wrong?!

Jenni watched countless friends struggle with anxiety, depression, adrenal fatigue and infertility. Jenni was struggling with her own hormonal imbalances and set out on a quest to resolve them with the hope that one day she would be able to have children after many years of absent periods. Little did she know that she was embarking on a HUGE lifestyle overhaul to eventually land at the root cause of the problem – CORTISOL!

She then dove more and more into the ‘alternative’ lifestyle

And Blume was born……

Jenni products invites you to carve out the time to embrace self-love and quiet moments of reflection, creating a more conducive mindset for preconception, pregnancy and postpartum. Allowing every woman an opportunity to blūm.

Myself & Shari love introducing women to theses incredible experiences found within the products they truly are nurturing and is made with so much love.

Sit back and feel inspired… Jenni is such a beautiful soul

Birth matters!! The way we live, love and parent, is deeply impacted by birth.

Birth has become immersed in a culture of fear and trauma.

But you don’t need to accept this as your reality.

Our babies’ births are significant, creating imprints within their neurobiology and emotional life.

For our babies’ optimum development, for ourselves as parents, for the blessed unfolding of our lives together; we need to bring them in gently, with love.

Our responsibility as parents is to create the best possible circumstances, for them to have the gift of the most gentle, loving arrival possible.

We want to imprint our young, our future generations with love, not fear.

In this episode, we are coaching a beautiful mum to be, Paris.  Paris is one of our Nurture Hub members and she is wanting some help and guidance with pre-birth nerves.  Paris Is about to welcome her next little Bub into the world and had the most amazing first birth experience but as she approaches this birth she is starting to compare, over think,  trying replicate this birth the be the same as the last.  We help Paris to let go of the fears, overthinking mind in this episode and focus on how to calm the mind, release the over the thinking with some great techniques.
