Diana is the founder and host of the Healing Birth Podcast and today she shares with us the wisdom, teachings, and advice she’s gleaned after listening to hundreds of birth stories over the past five years from women all over the world.
She also shares her own healing journey after a traumatic cesarean birth with her first child to a beautiful, autonomous, VBAC birth with her second.
We dive deeper into VBAC and why over 20% of c-sections are actually unnecessary, overcoming mental hurdles in pregnancy and birth, and also touch on Diana’s history working in the health insurance industry and what she learned about the western medical system (hint - it’s the system that is broken, not you).

If you want to learn the basics of German New Medicine, how to fine tune your personal awareness, and become your own healer, then you will love this conversation with Abigail Puccioni.
We discuss how to apply GNM within the specific conflicts that can cause symptoms of skin issues (eczema, dermatitis, rashes, and acne), bloating, headaches, TMJ, muscle aches, and chronic pain. Plus, how you can use GNM as a mom when your littles are showing various symptoms.
There is SO MUCH to learn from this one so take your time listening, notice what resonates for you/your body, and please don’t hesitate to reach out on social media if you have any follow up questions for either of us!
PS - this is not medical advice 😊

Almost HALF of all women experience birth trauma.
Today, I chat with Audrey Ross of A Joyful Birth about why this might be. Why is it so hard to trust our bodies when it comes to birth? Why are we as a society so scared of birth? How do we break free from the fear and step back into our innate womanly power?
Audrey is a birthkeeper, educator of physiologic birth, and a mother. She went from a breech hospital birth with her first, to a homebirth with licensed midwives with her second baby, to a freebirth, and now she's currently journeying through a wild pregnancy (no medical intervention, no scans, etc.) and planning her second freebirth!
Together we dive into:
Why the hospital might NOT be the safest place to give birth (failure to progress, anyone?!) Pros and cons of homebirth with midwives How to protect yourself and your space in pregnancy and birth Audrey's choice of wild pregnancy and freebirth How to build trust in your body's ability to birth a healthy baby-------------------------

In today's episode, I'll share some of the biggest lessons I've learned as a new mom (like the "bouncing back" myth, true postpartum healing, letting go of my control freak persona, etc.) and what I plan on doing differently whenever baby number two comes along.

As a mom, have you ever felt like you had to hide your uncomfortable emotions from your kids? What if that’s actually harming you? What if allowing yourself to EXPRESS your anger, sadness, or stress actually sets you (and your family) free?
Dr. Tiff is an experienced chiropractor and somatic expert who helps others heal at a deep soul level by unblocking emotions in the body. I’ve had the privilege of sitting in her somatic ceremonies a few times and have experienced *leaps* in healing thanks to the methods we’ll discuss today!

“A crunchy mom is someone who doesn’t just accept the status quo. She willingly does her own research for pregnancy and birth, breastfeeding and baby wearing, vaccines and solid foods. She makes informed choices and pursues a more natural way of living. She cares deeply about giving her children the best life possible and also making sure she’s leaving the best world she possibly can for her grandchildren.
Crunchy moms support ALL moms, even if their opinions differ. They believe in encouraging EVERY mom and they understand that each mom has different needs and different beliefs.”
Press play and let’s dig into what it actually means to be a crunchy mom, plus a few tips and resources from my own experience walking this path.

It’s time to say goodbye to “Macros, Muscle, and Manifestation” and that means saying goodbye to the bodybuilding, chronic dieting, physique obsessed version of me, too.
I’ll share what led to the rebirth of this podcast into Naturally Caroline, sparked by a Poshmark sale, a medicine ceremony, and a DM I received asking for advice about competing in bodybuilding... and my response.
Welcome to this new chapter! I'm so honored you're here.

Tricia, through social media, gave everyone a front row seat to her devastating heartbreak earlier this year. But then we also got to see her healing journey that led to her manifesting new career opportunities, meaningful relationships, money, health, and more.
In today’s chat, we dig into exactly how she cultivated such a beautiful glow up, including somatic practices, emotional release, nervous system regulation, and other healing tools. I feel that Tricia's journey is such an important one to highlight because her healing path was so drastically different from what we see in culture, which usually emphasizes emotional eating, partying, rebound dating, revenge, etc. as the way to "move on."
Follow Tricia on Instagram and check out her offerings.

You might remember Lesha from her first podcast appearance on episode 64, and since then she has stepped fully into the mom & baby health space as a somatic practitioner.
We started today’s chat catching up on how we are nourishing ourselves, avoiding seed oils, and why baking our own gluten free bread feels so dang good.
Then we take it from the kitchen into Lesha’s area of expertise - tongue and lip ties. You’ll hear her theories on why these are so common today and how you can avoid a painful revision for your little one, plus tips on how to build your own village of support as a new mom.

I am beyond excited to introduce you to one of the most incredible humans I have ever met, Jeff Holoubek, on the podcast today.
Jeff is an integrationist with many years of experience in the psychedelic wellness space and is an expert on 5-MeO-DMT and the Bufo alvarius toad. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Jeff several times, including when we sat together with Ayahuasca in the jungles of Peru!
In this episode, we discuss what toad medicine is, synthetic vs organic 5-MeO, and the role of psychedelics in rebuilding community, deepening connection to all things, and as a sacred tool for personal healing.

If you're like me, you grew up looking to other people for the answers. You were told that someone else usually knew best, so you followed their lead. You weren't often empowered to make decisions based on what felt right in your gut.
In this episode, I’ll share a recent experience that led to me asking myself:
WHY is it so hard for me to trust my own intuition?
We’ll grapple with this question today and I’ll share some tips to help you overthink less and trust yourself more.
