Preparing For Pregnancy After Loss

Donette first joined us for an interview in 2020 (Ep 13: Pregnancy & Loss in a Foreign Country). Today, she's sharing how her journey has unfolded over the past four years. This includes three pregnancies (including being pregnant with twins) and curveball after curveball with unexpected losses, medical support, invasive procedures, the birth of a preemie, and life in the NICU.   I marvel at what it sometimes takes to bring these precious little ones into the world.  💖   It was inspiring to hear the layers of support Donette called on during her journey, how the last few years have shaped her, and ways that she practiced self-advocacy when working with her medical team. She shared that a previous episode I did with Tia DeShazor on Birthing in Community (Ep 41) emboldened her to speak up to have her needs met. Yess! May we continue to be a source of fire and encouragement for each other!   .    Some Resources We Reference: The previous podcast episode with Donette - Ep 13: Pregnancy & Loss in a Foreign Country: https://www.nataleefacey.com/podcast/episode/2fa2a72f/ep-13-pregnancy-and-loss-in-a-foreign-country  The episode Donette references that inspired her to advocate for herself as a Melanated Momma - Ep 41: Birthing in Community with Tia DeShazor: https://www.nataleefacey.com/podcast/episode/1c1b2932/ep-41-birth-story-birthing-in-community-with-tia-deshazor  Another episode that Donette has taken inspiration from - Ep 27: Why Do You Want to Have Children: https://www.nataleefacey.com/podcast/episode/1dcfe7ff/ep-27-why-do-you-want-to-have-children    ----- More About Me: I am a Resilience Coach, Birth Doula, and Emotional Healing Guide, walking alongside women and femmes like you who've experienced womb-related loss, such as infertility, a pregnancy loss, infant loss, traumatic pregnancy or childbirth, or missed opportunity to become pregnant.

We're taught to erase our scars, that they get in the way of our beauty and perfection. What's been coming up for me that led to this episode is the wisdom that scars are the physical manifestation of the lives we've lived. They are a part of the stories our bodies hold. They can be evidence of both our pain and growth.  I wonder if as souls we ever held the intention to not go through pain. Or was the intention to have the storied life we're now experiencing that has the potential to lead to deep levels of growth? What are the stories we get to tell? What are the stories that our scars now tell? This is a "free-flow" episode, creating room for the thoughts and insights that have been emerging. I hope you find it inspiring or expansive 💖.    Some Resources I Mention: Movie: The Woman King Book: Journey of Souls by Michael Newton Briefly, Perfectly Human by Alua Arthur ----- More About Me: I am a Resilience Coach, Birth Doula, and Emotional Healing Guide, walking alongside women and femmes like you who've experienced womb-related loss, such as infertility, a pregnancy loss, infant loss, traumatic pregnancy or childbirth, or missed opportunity to become pregnant.

Our bodies are portals for creation. We have the ability to birth many, many expressions of life. But when our mainstream culture tells us that our worthiness is tied into birthing children, it creates a disconnection within ourselves if we accept that lie.    Today's episode is an Instagram Live recording where I speak to:  Staying in connection with ourselves and our sense of worthiness regardless of where we are on the pregnancy journey Birthing occurring on an energetic / spiritual level  When it becomes problematic to make a business or project "your baby" Removing blockages or resistance in the creative/birthing process and  A live Q&A on what reclaiming your womb, your yes, and your no might look like   ----- More About Me: I am a Resilience Coach, Birth Doula, and Emotional Healing Guide, walking alongside women and femmes like you who've experienced womb-related loss, such as infertility, a pregnancy loss, infant loss, traumatic pregnancy or childbirth, or missed opportunity to become pregnant.

The podcast is changing, beloved. In beautiful ways though. I've been feeling called to expandind into other topics that speak to the whole of us...or the very least, more of us. These topics include our connection to ourselves, our connection to the earth, the healing of our families and intimate relationships, the systems in our society that lead to pain and stress in our lives, and more.  Some form of evolution is always happening. And as it's happening within me, I'm wanting the work or inspiration I offer to reflect that expansion as well.

You don't have to smile. You don't.  I've been sitting with what it would be like to have a world where we can each show up with all the emotions that are present with us—showing up with the grief, the regret, the fear, the frustration—without feeling the need to "fix" yourself or those emotions before being in the room again.  This episode explores the cultural patterns that train us into smiling for the camera even when we don't feel like it and dreams up a new way of being with the emotions that are authentic in each moment.   If you enjoy today's episode, please share the love with someone who might find it useful as well.    ----- More About Me: I am a Resilience Coach, Birth Doula, and Emotional Healing Guide, walking alongside women and femmes like you who've experienced womb-related loss, such as infertility, a pregnancy loss, infant loss, or a traumatic pregnancy.

Today's episode is about permission and grace. If you're a mom/parent to angel babies, I encourage you to really give yourself the permission to do whatever supports your energy around this time. I also share how I respond when I'm asked if I'm a mother.  And if you're currently parenting or caretaking kiddos who are physically here, I shed light on the lie that we need to strive to be perfect mothers or parents. Perfection doesn't exist. It doesn't. Being able to surrender to the messiness, the madness, the beauty, the creativity, the unpredictability…of life and parenting offers a kind of liberation that ends up being resourcing our body and being,  instead of depleting.    If you enjoy today's episode, please share it with someone who might find it useful as well.    ----- More About Me: I'm a Resilience Coach, Embodiment Healing Guide, Angel Mama, and Birth Doula.

Today's episode is a prayer, an invitation to soften, to be gentle with yourself.  There's sometimes the belief–even if unconscious–that softening might transform someone into becoming weak or diminish their ability to be resilient. I've observed and experienced the opposite: that it's ignoring the body's invitation to soften that eventually leads to shut down and disconnection. The softening, the exhale…creates the opening.  I invite you to receive today's invitation if it resonates.   ----- More About Me: I'm a Resilience Coach, Embodiment Healing Guide, Angel Mama, and Birth Doula.

I used to think that my healing journey needed to look a certain way and have a definite outcome. That eventually--no matter how long it took--I needed to rise out of the ashes like a phoenix then tell the world about it.  Sitting with the realness of my unpredictable, and sometimes messy healing journey has taught me that there is no model for what healing should look like. You are an original. Your journey will be a unique one. And by releasing the expectations around who you ought to become and by when that needs to happen, perhaps that creates room for some unexpected, imperfect beauty to unfold.   In this episode, I share about: The ways in which our society creates "models" for who or what we should be How those models impact our healing journey The liberation that becomes possible through being present with your own journey Accessing the unique wisdom that wants to emerge through you   ----- More About Me: I'm a Resilience Coach, Embodiment Healing Guide, Angel Mama, and Birth Doula.

Feeling as though you're suffering in silence is perhaps one of the most common experiences after going through a loss.

The "Spiritual Bypass" is often intended to be a reminder that we're spiritual beings having a human experience. It can also be used to dismiss or diminish our very real human experiences, which leads to us holding on to hurt instead of processing and releasing it.    In this episode, I share: How the Spiritual Bypass showed up in my experience  How it can be harmful if it's showing up in yours  Why healing also needs to occur through the body And exploring a sense of purpose after a loss  ----- More About Me: I'm a Resilience Coach, Embodiment Healing Guide, Angel Mama, and Birth Doula.

I consider myself a life-long learner, so it means a lot when I say that Compassionate Communication or Nonviolent Communication (NVC) has been one of the single most important practices I've learned. As my teacher, Steve Torma, puts it, Compassionate Communication isn't just a tool for communication but a shift in consciousness.    I've referred Compassionate Communication to clients of mine because it becomes a game-changer for ANY conversation or relationship. And today, we have the pleasure of hearing Steve Torma share more about Compassionate Communication and how it can benefit you and your relationships.  We discuss:  What Compassionate Communication or NVC is and some of its many benefits What violence looks like in conversations (it's not just physical!) How the "Dominator Culture" we're socialized in shows up in our self-talk and relationships  Why men will likely grieve differently from women The patterns/imbalances that may become prevalent in relationships between men and women How Compassionate Communication can help create inner peace, as well as bring empathy and healing to relationships    Steve Torma's Bio:  Steve (he/him) was born and raised on a family farm in Ashtabula, Ohio, and is a 25-year member of Earthaven Ecovillage. His ancestors are Hungarian and French Canadian.   Steve co-founded an intentional community in Ohio in 1980, where he lived until joining Earthaven Ecovillage in 1996. At Earthaven, he co-founded a thriving neighborhood, was president for three years, and has taught Nonviolent Communication for twelve years. In addition to his passion for community, Steve co-managed a natural foods co-op for 10 years, ran his own traveling bookstore business for over 20 years, and now teaches Nonviolent Communication and other relationship and community building skills through The REAL Center, which he co-founded in 2009.    As a lifelong peace, justice, and ecology educator and activist with over 40 years of community living, Steve has sought to integrate personal and social transformation in his own life, in the communities where he lives, and in the larger society. His passion for integral living and thinking has led him to study and experiment with a wide range of spiritualities, psychological systems, and social theories as they relate to creating a more just and sustainable world.   Steve has taught Nonviolent Communication for a variety of intentional communities, organizations, and regional gatherings, including Celo Community, The Mountain Retreat Center, Firefly Gathering, Southeast Permaculture Gathering, Organic Growers School, Kinnection Campout, LovEvolution Gathering, Compassion Camp, and many others.   Steve's Website: http://therealcenter.org/ Seve's Email: steve@therealcenter.org     The Resources We Reference: Book: The Chalice & The Blade by Riane Eisler: https://rianeeisler.com/the-chalice-and-the-blade-our-history-our-future/ Books: Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenburg (and related books through PuddleDancer Press): https://www.nonviolentcommunication.com/shop/  The Mankind Project: https://mankindproject.org/ NVC Asheville: https://www.nvcasheville.com/   Earthaven Ecovillage: https://www.earthaven.org/ —   If you're curious as to what support might look like for you on your journey, here are some next steps to explore: 1.
