Concepts like matrescence and the nervous system are getting more attention, FINALLY! But as they become buzzwords, they’re often watered down, overgeneralized, and stripped of the nuance they deserve.

In this episode, we are sooooooo excited to talk about our new upcoming training centered on the maternal nervous system.

This training will explore why the maternal nervous system is the missing link in most matrescence conversations, and how the information we’re sharing with you will completely change the way you serve mothers. You’ll leave with new knowledge, perspectives, and connections that you can bring into your work to add more IMPACT and a more holistic approach to serving mothers. When you understand the unique nervous system changes that take place in mothers, you can better support them through the wildness of motherhood.

Nicole and Lauren gather just ahead of the full moon to share honest updates and reflections on life, business, and the ever-changing seasons of motherhood.

Our biggest intention for this episode is to give you a big behind the scenes peek into our process behind launching and refining our latest offering, Held—a community designed for mother-serving professionals.

We openly discuss the little pivots and “course corrections” we’ve made, the importance of play and spaciousness in the creative process, and how responding to YOUR feedback and our own needs has shaped our business in a deeply embodied way.

As usual there’s also a sprinkling of so many juicy topics waiting for you from:

• Our usual energy/cycle/life updates (including iron infusions, birthday months, and new kittens!)
• The acceptance of and identity shifts of neurodivergence
• Honoring different seasons in business and motherhood
• Navigating ambition, capacity, and the myth of one-size-fits-all strategy
• Balancing “people pleasing” with true responsiveness and evolution
• Fullness vs. busyness: Reframing your perception of life’s demands
• The importance of slow growth, prioritizing relationships over transactions, and letting action (not overthinking) shape the next right steps in entrepreneurship
• Finally, we’re sharing our biggest piece of advice for any other space holding entrepreneurs out there

You'll find plenty of relatable insights about honoring your own rhythm, letting go of rigidity, and building community in ways that are truly nourishing. Whether you’re here for reflections on motherhood, inspiration for your own creative ventures, or just to feel a little more connected to these 2 silly weirdos, there’s magick in this episode for you.

This is probably my number one question I get asked right now as a doula... What does a postpartum doula shift look like? What kind of support of you offer?

And while it can be hard to fully articulate what it feeeeeels like to be cared for by a doula in this vulnerable season of life, I attempt to give you a peak into the flavour of postpartum doula support that I currently offer. Because that's the beauty of doula care... it's as unique as the doula you hire.

This short and sweet episode will give you an idea of what a postpartum doula shift can look like, but I promise, it's so much more! If only there was an easy way to describe the feeling of being cared for by a doula.... hey maybe that's the next episode idea... interviewing a client and letting them speak for themselves!

Enjoy.

If you're craving this kind of care in your own postpartum season, I’d love to support you. Learn more about working with me here... I offer both in person (Victoria/Sooke, BC area) and virtual services to meet your needs in motherhood.
