  • This episode is near and dear to my soul, as I share with you my remembering of some very hard and painful truths and experiences during my primitive school years.

    What prompted this self inquiry around this solo episode was some books my husband and I recently purchased by John Taylor Gatto -links to his books below. John a former New York School teacher for 30 years, books activated a lot of emotional responses and deep painful remembering for me. Both his books made sense too much of the madness and frustration I have felt over the years around my schooling and experiences. Ultimately leading to the beautiful choose to unschool / homeschool/ be together as a family full time I guess you could say for our children!

    Let me know what you think of this episode!

    Blessings,

    Victoria

  • In this episode I connect with Andrea Haskins & Dana Mckie from Radical Moms Union! We talk about the predatory practices being used by a certain formula company called Bobbie, we connect around breastfeeding, the current culture in mothering and so much more!

    Andrea Haskins: Mom of two and breastfeeding peer counselor and lactation counselor (certified with Childbirth International) with a focus on mother-baby-led intuitive parenting. I believe parents have been led astray by the modern medical-industrial system and the multitude of opinions and information available and have dampened the ability to mother biologically and instinctually.

    Radical Moms Union: I’m part of a growing, online movement of radical mothers who are fighting to hold corporations accountable for their predatory marketing aimed at vulnerable moms. That includes infant formula companies, the sleep training industry, and any other consumer goods that try to separate mother and baby. We’re called the Radical Moms Union.

    This is a powerful episode that should be shared with all the mothers. May our intentions and words protect the safety for all mothers, babies, breastfeeding.

  • This episode is filled with codes for the mother! The energy and spirit Randi shares in our time together is so beautiful. Randi became a mother at age 20 after moving through deep grief and loss of the death of her sister, and struggling with addiction, the birth of Randi's son Hunter saved her life and opened her back to her roots of spiritual channeling and healing powers. You don't want to miss this beautiful episode of pure divine mother energy.

    Randi was born in 1986, in Peterborough, Ontario. The youngest daughter in a family of 5. She started experiencing communication with spirit and energy when she was 4 years old. Not knowing what to do with it, or having an outlet to explore it, she only talked about it with her mother and closest family members. After the death of her oldest sister in 2002, Randi completely shut down her abilities and entered an extremely difficult phase in her life. It wasn't until her early 30's, after having two children of her own, and still having these spiritual experiences open to her, while finding comfort in helping those dying around her, that she decided to embrace and pursue the gifts she knew she had carried all her life.

    Randi is now working as a Certified Death Doula, helping those who are nearing the end of their lives or who want to be prepared for when the time comes, so that they may have the most beautiful & peaceful death they can. She has also obtained a degree in trauma counselling, offering holistic & spiritual therapy for various forms of trauma and emotional wounds, including ancestral traumas within family lines. Randi is a Reiki Master & Energy Healing Coach, along with being a Guided Meditation Teacher. She uses her healing, and energy work for those nearing the end of life, as well as for those who are not, and are choosing to heal themselves through a spiritual and holistic route. Also offering mediumship readings connecting to those who have passed, spirit, and universal energy. She also does work on animals & pets.

    Randi is a teacher with Virya - The Ontario School of Universal Energy (www.ontarioschoolofuniversalenergy.com) , where she teaches classes on becoming a death doula, master reiki classes, meditation teachings classes, funeral preparation, celebration of life, chakra balancing, and many more mini pop up classes.

    If you would like to know more, or have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask! Randi loves sharing her stories & experiences and helping others who are trying to make sense of their own connections, gifts, and abilities.

  • This episode feels like a beautiful Mother's Day Gift to the listeners.

    Leigh offers her heart, soul, wisdom and gifts in this episode. We talk about core beliefs, nervous systems, patterns of behaviors, motherhood and so much more.

    I hope you enjoy this one!

    Leigh Berry:

    Leigh is a Registered Social Worker and Holistic Nutritionist + a Mom to two littles under 4 who are currently her biggest teachers. Leigh has worked in both community and health care settings with vulnerable sector populations (including mental health) for the last 15 years, and has been running her private practice since 2016. When Leigh is not working you will find her spending time with her family, out in nature, doing yoga or dance, playing in the kitchen, or cozying up with meditation, creative writing and a chai latte.Leigh works primarily with other women + Moms who feel a strong desire to shift their relationship to Self and the thought patterns and emotional experiences ruling them. Feeling at the whim of their emotions~ whether disconnected, alone, anxious, overwhelmed, sad or stressed; AND often experiences of self-doubt, self-criticism, and a strong desire to feel better, to feel good enough are present. Patterns of using food (perhaps unknowingly) to cope, may also exist.In her practice Leigh uniquely provides nutrition services alongside use of various best-practice therapeutic modalities for the purpose of psychotherapy. Leigh believes that it is important to understand what is at the root of our problems, and integrates a mind-body approach to support biological, mental, emotional and spiritual wellness. Guiding women home to themselves, she helps foster a greater sense of inner connection and alignment. Allowing one to live from a place of ease, confidence, and trust.

    "The more we give our inner voice a platform to be our guide, the more we generate feelings of inner worth and trust that we are enough." ~ Leigh

  • First time mama Jess shares her powerful story of leaving her career in Nursing, birthing her first son out of the system in Mexico , and her journey into Traditional Birth Companionship! This is such a refreshing and uplifting story of first time parents reclaiming their sovereignty and creating a powerful and abundant life.

    Jess's Story:

    My journey has been a long and adventurous one. I graduated the nursing program in 2020. I began noticing just how corrupt everything really was. I joined Canadian Frontline Nurses not long after I began working at the hospital. I found hope and my world opened to natural alternatives to health. We organized rallies, protests, created pamphlets of information to distribute to the public. I met so many beautiful souls. Meanwhile, I went from a "great nurse" to "bad nurse" the second my colleague's found out I wasn't vaccinated. I was threatened to have my nursing license taken away and face a suspension without pay if I didn't get vaccinated. I decided to go on sick leave. CFLN had zoom meetings every Monday nights and Billie Harrigan was the guest speaker. This woman gave me goosebumps. I wanted her to talk forever. She made me want to drop nursing and dive deep into the real world of pregnancy, birth and postpartum. She opened my eyes to the lies and birthing business hospitals have created. I began her courses while on sick leave. Not too long after, I hopped on the biggest roller-coaster of my life, I quit my nursing career, sold our house and everything we owned, found out I was pregnant, got married, moved to Mexico less than 6 months later and had our baby there. We had a homebirth with an amazing supportive birth team!

    Now, I'm a happy stay-at-home mom and wife. I am starting up my courses again to become a traditional birth companion. I wrote an ebook on my entire experience "Nurse to TBC: leaving the medical industry". I really want to empower women to take control of their pregnancy and birth. I can only hope that more women in our generation and the ones following take charge of their pregnancies and opt for homebirths.

  • Melissa Allen is a Mother to 8 children earthside and 7 babies in God's garden, homesteader, homeschooler, a background as a seasoned registered nurse for 9 years, an aromatherapist, trauma informed traditional birth companion, and a birth and bereavement doula. She has navigated grief, birth trauma, and familial challenges. She has journeyed from hospital birthing to an intentional unassisted home birth to reclaim her birth rite. She is on a mission to help fearless moms who want to transform themselves through a liberating birth journey.

    Melissa freebirthed her 8th child 9 months ago. Melissa is also a companion who serves women.

    Her story: Melissa was an RN for 9 years and left 12 years ago. But had 7 babies in the system. She had a total of 7 miscarriages but 6 were in a 20 months span.

    Melissa got pregnant with her last baby and had a wild pregnancy and freebirth with her family. He was a meconium baby, nuchal hand, and still don't know why but his cord came out already white! She was thinking his hand was pinching the cord during birth descent! Turns out meconium, nuchal hand and white cord can all be a form of natural, normal birth ! Can’t wait for you to hear Melissa’s wisdom!

  • First time mama, Bec, joins me to share her transformational journey from Maiden-to-Mother. Bec shares so much wisdom in this episode, the grief associated with moving from maiden to mother, Bec shares the realities of her back labour and her powerful home birth of her first daughter Addison. You don't want to miss this beautiful episode filled with so much story medicine.

    Bec’s story encompasses ALL parts of herself-mind, body and soul and began years ago, long before she would welcome her daughter wombside.

    As a child, pregnancy, birth and motherhood were pieces she romanticized about often. They were brought to life when she would breastfeed her dolls and step into the roll of Mother in any game of house, barbies, etc.

    As a teenager and young adult, these pieces still showed up strong for her, just in a different light.


    Professionally, a career with children at the core unfolded after she graduated with her Advanced Diploma in Child and Youth Care.

    Personally, it wasn’t time to role play anymore. It was time to dive in. To do the ‘heartwork’. To heal. To transmute traumas and addictions that no longer served
 “it ran in my family, until it ran into me” is a quote that has always resonated with Bec and the path she leads.

    Last year at this time, ‘right timing’ prevailed and with the unwavering support and trust from her partner of 11 years, Sean, a profound journey of conscious conception, a wild pregnancy and out-of-system Homebirth, supported by Traditional Birth Companions, unfolded and they recently welcomed their beautiful daughter, Addison, earthside November 2023.

    This is a story of radical self-responsibility, spiritual growth and a whole lot of MAGIC.
