In the latest episode of Evidence Based Crunch we go on a deep dive into who you can receive birth support from (mainly midwives or doctors) and where you can give birth (home, hospital or birth center). I am super passionate about this topic, you may here it in my voice. I had a great time diving into the history of these issues, exploring what current science tells us and reflecting on the spiritual aspects of these decisions. This was one of the topics I was so excited to cover because I feel like there is so much misinformation on all sides of the issue. Plus the history is super fascinating. And let’s be honest, I always want an excuse to talk about my home births ;)

In this Vlog I spend some time talking about what makes a yoga retreat so much more than “Just a vacation” and why choosing to go on a yoga retreat can be important not only for self-care in the moment but long term stress management skills.
As people have been signing up for my Yoga Retreat in Spain I’ve been hearing from women all around the world who want to come but are plagued by “mom guilt” So I dove in to discuss mom guilt, what it is, why we experience it and how we can overcome it to take better care of our families and ourselves.
