Today's conversation is with my beautiful friend Kaitlyn Foster of @wildmotherpath. Kaitlyn shares with us her journey of working as a NICU nurse very much IN the system, turned Radical Birth Keeper now fully serving women OUTside of the system -- and her powerful hands-off homebirth story with her son Luca. We also unpack the spiritual/energetic layers of pregnancy & birth, why birth MATTERS, what it means to trust your body & her inherent process, being empowered in your choices throughout YOUR pregnancy & birth, why having "evidence-based research" doesn't really mean much when it comes to backing your choices, being afraid & untangling your former identity, the death of the maiden and the emergence of the mother that this journey WILL initiate you into, and sooo much more. For further support on this topic and beyond, you can reach out to Kaitlyn via her Instagram @wildmotherpath // or learn more on her website to discuss her virtual pregnancy & birth prep support AND her in-person birth work [in theĀ Charlotte, North Carolina area]. AND of course - you can visit my website to explore & enroll in my private mentorship šĀ OR you can reach out to me on Instagram @oliviaseline_ to explore other private offerings I have available for virtual support through conception, pregnancy, postpartum, & early mothering.

in today's conversation - I unpack a bit of what I've learned [the hard way] over the last few years on my journey of "truth-seeking" and lifting the veil on all the crazy sh*t that's gone down collectively. I share on why it's not our job to "wake people up" and how even with good-intentions, it can come from a savior complex/hero space; why it instantly turns other people off & doesn't in fact help your "cause" at all; and where we can channel our conviction, fire, & passion instead - in a way that ACTUALLY makes a difference & where people can actually heart us. I also speak on how raising our kids outside of the system could be the way to truly free ourselves & our world from the reigns of this darkness. for further support on this topic and beyond, message me on Instagram to get in on my JUNE special of delicious 1x1, personalized womb healing & high-touch virtual mentorship through all things wild pregnancy, birth, postpartum, mothering, and business for just $444 for the month [if you're listening to this at a later date, just mention this podcast and I'll honor this price for you]. as always - thank you for being here & for being a part of this community! it really does mean so much to me to have you here. <3 // website: www.thewombden.com & come hang out over on Instagram: @oliviaseline_
today's conversation [our conversation begins 12 minutes in]Ā is with two of my dear sisters in the online space - lauren megan & alex carruthers. together we tackle the powerful topic of healing within female relationships - specifically within friendships, mentorship, and the online coaching space. join us as we discuss healing the sister wound, opting OUT of the drama triangle of the coaching industry, choosing to do things differently vs trying to tear others down, owning where you're stuck in self-righteousness, the potent realm of high-level mentorship, and the freedom found through taking radical self-responsibility in a culture obsessed with blame. for further support on this topic and beyond, you can visit my website to explore & enroll in my private mentorship š or message me on Instagram @oliviaseline_ to get the details on my exclusive JUNE specials! and if you dig their vibe - you can also follow both lauren & alex on instagram, and connect with their offerings & mentorship there!

today, I brought my dear sister amanda rose on to help me strip down the meaning of some common words we often see in the feminine, esoteric realm of work online. we specifically covered in today's episode what WE mean when we use the words 'new paradigm, rewilding, sovereignty, wombspace/womb consciousness, and yoni.' we also anchored into WHY these pieces matter in this work. whether you're brand new to this world, or you're a seasoned authority & leader in this space - I do believe that taking a moment to PAUSE and reflect on why we use the words we use is so important. if anything, it helps expand our awareness & understanding - AND it helps us root deeper into the intention behind the words we use to describe what we believe is so important. to connect further with amanda: visit her website [and subscribe to her delicious, intimate newsletter] www.wholenessmirroring.com and over on her instagram @amandaarlenerose. you can also listen to past conversations with her on the podcast here: episode 061 & 078. if you search both of our names together on itunes/spotify - you'll find them easily! as always - thank you for being here & for being a part of this community! it really does mean so much to me to have you here. <3 for more on this topic, and a deeper connection beyond the pod -- follow me on Instagram: @oliviaseline_ // learn more about my current offerings at www.thewombden.com // and join the next virtual women's circle here: https://www.thewombden.com/work-with-me/monthly-circlesĀ
the meat of this podcast was recorded in february 2021 as my husband & I sat down and reflected on our birth story [our son zeke was born december 2020] - it was fresh, it was tender, it was so nurturing to share it with you all. we also addressed some big questions from my online community around homebirth & the intricacies of how our birth unfolded. it being february 2022 now - a whole year later from when that was recorded - I added a fresh intro to the conversation and some things that are on my heart as I listened to it again [including why revisiting our birth stories often is SO healing]... I'll be recording a "what I'll do differently next time with what I know now" episode soon! so let me know what questions you have over on instagram @oliviaseline_ - I'll expand on those in future episodes. thank you for being here and for witnessing me in another layer of integration as I revisit this specific rite of passage into motherhood. if you're craving the medicine of sharing your birth story(ies) with someone -Ā please book a session!Ā it would be my honor to hold space for your processing & integration. xo Ā for more on this topic, and a deeper connection beyond the pod -- follow me on Instagram: @oliviaseline_ // learn more about my current offerings at www.thewombden.com // and join the next virtual women's circle here: https://www.thewombden.com/work-with-me/monthly-circlesĀ
