The Brittany and Bridgette Podcast

In this podcast, the final episode of season 3, we (Brittany and Bridgette) come together to share about the rhythms that root us. We get so many questions about health, vitality, how to reduce stress, how to heal infertility, how to have enjoyable menstrual cycles, body weight, insomnia, nutrition, movement and the list goes on. This episode addresses all of these topics and more through a holistic lens and the story telling of our daily lives. We share about the things we do every day that make a difference so we can live healthy, balanced, joy-filled lives. We hope you enjoy! We are taking a break before beginning season 4.

Today’s special guest on the podcast is not only a badass business woman and mama, she is also my dear friend and neighbor, Abbi Miller. Abbi and I met a few years ago when she moved in a block from us and as our kiddos quickly became friends, so did we! Our families live in close proximity and also share many similar values around how we choose to live, love and parent. In this episode Abbi shares about her work in the world as a business strategist, how she is navigating motherhood whilst running a successful business, her birth trauma and healing journey. We also dive into what it was like for Abbi to grow up being unschooled and how she and her family are navigating their own version of unschooling and self-led learning now.

We all want to be heard and understood, but what happens when our share is not landing with another being? In this podcast we explore, through a personal story of Bridgette’s that we’ve been talking about lately, understanding as the antidote that our world is needing and strategies to both offer and receive understanding.

I am so honored to have one of my favorite people on the podcast today as I sit down for an expansive and deeply nourishing conversation with Maryn Green with a focus on motherhood. Maryn is well-known as the co-owner of Indie Birth, where she shares her experiences and knowledge as a sacred midwife. She is also a mother to 10 magical beings, and a truly wise soul, bringing wisdom to this time that I believe is deeply needed.   In the podcast, I ask Maryn inspired questions I have for her about her unique journey as a mother and how she and her partner Jason navigate parenting on their own terms - ie in a way that feels resonant for them. We dive into topics such as life as the school of learning as opposed to school as an organized institution, food, screen time, bed time, and more.   “Taking Back Birth” podcast on Spotify and Apple Indie Birth Website: https://indiebirth.org/ Maryn’s Website: https://magicalmama.org/    My birth story on Maryn’s podcast:https://indiebirth.org/brittany-and-conor-share-their-autonomous-birth-experience/  Maryn shares on my YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/2Piu9JV-Nuo?si=yeuHTMXCff_fi4nH  Welcome to the Brittany and Bridgette Podcast where we share about all topics connected to relationships, parenting and healthy living.

In this episode, we get real with you, sharing current celebrations and challenges in our partnership. For some time we have had a regular (usually weekly) check-in with one another. In this episode we share the details of our check-in ritual with you as well as doing our check in live with you. We share about a challenge that is alive for us at the time of recording and gain deeper understanding of one another and ourselves. We share what we are celebrating/appreciating in our relationship, acknowledging what we are really loving about one another and our relationship and life in general at this time.

In this episode, Bridgette shares about the most common signs and symptoms relating to not eating enough food or being under-nourished.   It would shock most people to know that this is the most common root cause I see in my functional nutrition practice. Thanks to diet culture, we are constantly bombarded by messaging of eat less and move more, "eat clean", cut out this food to heal your body and people are more confused then ever on what to eat, how to eat and the best ways to nourish their bodies. Often this leads to a lack of proper nourishment and the effects over time can show up as hormonal imbalances and auto immune issues. I encourage everyone to listen to this episode, even if you feel that you have body fat to lose and especially if you are feeling tired, sluggish, inconsistent in your mood and having a hard time achieving your goals and showing up for your life despite how hard you try.

In this episode we share revelations and reflections from our 6-week camper van trip as we are integrating back into the routine of home life. Being on this grand adventure and away from the momentum of life in a certain way really had us tuning into the deep rhythms of slower living and nourishment in nature. Things were simpler, full of ease, and we noticed having a lot more space in our nervous systems. In the world we live in, how many distractions do we have and how many things are taking our time and energy? While some of these things are essential and nourishing, a lot of them are not. We share about ways to bridge the gap of the modern day lifestyle with slower, more intentional living to get the nourishment we are truly craving.

In this episode, Brittany shares about two impactful parenting experiences she had with her 5-year-old, Ilya. Both experiences felt great examples of tuning into what Ilya was feeling and reading how to honor his feelings, needs and energetic requests. In the first story, Ilya is wanting more space and in the second he is wanting more closeness. Both are essential nutrients for a child to feel honored, respected, and held at whatever stage of development they are navigating.

In this episode we share about unschooling and why we choose it for our 5-year-old child, Ilya, and for ourselves. We share about a life where curiosity and natural desire lead what we learn about and how we engage with the world. A life where we can tune into the rhythms of our being, the seasons of nature, and learn what matters about how to exist as our authentic selves in a way that deeply resonates with us.

A few days before Ilya's 4th birthday, our breastfeeding journey together came to a close. It has been a month since and in today's podcast, I reflect on that transition, including a transition to stop nursing together at night (we co-sleep), and then a couple months later to stop nursing together entirely. I share about why I chose to make these shifts, what inspired them, how weaning has felt for me, and how I sense no longer "doing boob" has felt for Ilya.

Over the past 4 years since free-birthing my child, I have received a lot of questions about my freebirth and wild pregnancy. I have shared my birth story, both the actual birth as a video, and my birth story on various podcasts, but this is the first dedicated podcast that I share more about freebirth and wild pregnancy in general.

It has taken me 34 years to learn what my child was born into this world knowing: how to eat intuitively. And honestly, I am so darn proud of myself! Coming from a lifetime of dieting and body image struggles, I didn’t think it was possible for me to have a loving relationship with my body and food. I am thrilled to be where I am today and I am excited to share my story with you. Over the last few years I’ve received a lot of curiosities about my diet and if it has changed. The answer is yes. It has changed many times in many ways. And I trust that it will continue to evolve, as I do. Many of you started following me during my 7 years of eating a strictly plant-based / vegan diet, which is no longer a diet I follow. I asked you all to send all the questions you've had in, and I believe I address all the ones I have received in this podcast. Today on this podcast, Bridgette Wolleat joins me to help tell my story and share her knowledge on the topic of intuitive eating. We will be covering the following: What is intuitive eating?How did I move from a life of dieting to intuitive eating? What has changed about how and what I eat?When did these changes happen?How have they felt for me?How did I transition from a plant-based / vegan diet to eating animal products and meat?How did I deal with the emotional aspects of transitioning away from veganism?Why did I choose veganism?Why do I not choose to eat a vegan diet now?

Rituals root us. Having solid, consistent, nurturing routines that we perform every day creates the rhythms we need for healthy development. We thrive when we have that ideal balance of certainty and uncertainty, routine and spontaneity. Most beings seem to be off balance, needing more routine than they have set up for themselves. Their systems are craving more regularity, more trust, more stability. With a healthy framework, we can flow and play with confidence.  Developing and nurturing regular morning and evening routines that are simple and effective for you and your children helps ensure you will be set up to thrive. When our systems have a certain amount of reliability, they can relax. Consistency and relaxation is especially essential for young, developing beings, and as their caregivers, we are the ones setting the tone of the day. We are the ones whose nervous systems they are syncing up with, learning from, and mirroring. By creating calm, present, loving energetic environment, we can offer our children a nurturing space for co-regulation.  In this episode, I share about Ilya’s bedtime rituals, now at 3 years old. I also share more abut the importance of having bedtime routines, both for child and for your yourself.  Resources referenced in podcast Animal oracle cards: https://amzn.to/3Q1H2Xw Sleepy time tincture: https://amzn.to/3So0teJ Salt lamp lights: https://amzn.to/3PZYGuS Toothpaste recipe: https://www.brittanytaylor.co/toothpaste-recipe-for-natural-mamas-and-kids/ Wide-tooth wooden comb: https://amzn.to/3d8qr61 Sound machine: https://amzn.to/3vDvx0i Jojoba oil: https://amzn.to/3QhajgH Camera: https://amzn.to/3zwHd6n Books for bedtime: Smithsonian collection example: https://amzn.to/3BAQYD8 Books for bedtime: kids want to know example: https://amzn.to/3d1subU Books for bedtime: little owl book example: https://amzn.to/3QmkJvF    Coaching with Brittany: https://brittanytaylor.co/coachingInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/simpleliving13/Birth Video: https://www.brittanytaylor.co/freebirth-unassisted-childbirth-autonomous-birth-and-pregnancy/Email me: brittanysophiataylor@gmail.com(For coaching or event inquiries) Welcome to Parenting our Children and Re-Parenting Ourselves.

How we touch our children matters a lot. From the very first hands that are felt by a newborn child, to the loving embrace we share with them as adults, they are receiving powerful communication signals, information about their environment and caregivers, and gaining a sense of where they can feel safe and where they cannot. Whatever imprint of touch we offer a child during their early years becomes what the child is accustomed to, setting the stage for what they believe they deserve to both receive and give. We are wiring their bodies for loving intimacy through touch, either positively or not so positively. In this podcast, I share about powerful ways to form a loving touch-positive relationship with your child. We dive into checking in, consent, honoring a child’s space and reading the energy. We talk about common touch-based transitions that are often sped through or overlooked as intimate moments to be in loving connection with your child. And we share about celebration of touch with cuddles, massage, baby-wearing, and other inspired ways you and your child can play with a consent-based touch-positive connection. It is essential for our child’s survival for us to be in physical contact with them. And based on how we choose to touch and the messages we share through that physical connection, we either inhibit or allow their natural path of thriving.

In this podcast, I am joined by Bridgette Wolleat (who was on this podcast once before, talking about herbs for pregnancy and postpartum) and we are talking about how to have an awesome postpartum! In this podcast we dive into all the areas to plan for and set yourself up (or your partner/friend/family member) for a supportive postpartum environment. We also share about the coaching services we offer remotely to support your in the planning phases of this time, as well as services we have for Austin, TX locals to receive meals and herbs from us. The postpartum period is possibly the most under-appreciated and honored time during a new parent’s life, and we are eager to bring more attention to the power of this time, and the tools you can use to help you thrive during it.

In this episode, I share new insights I’ve been receiving and how they arisen for me. I share intimate details on what is going on in my polyamorous relationships with Bridgette and Conor, and their relationship with one another and my relationships with them both. I reflect on duality in the universe and how it exists in harmony. I share about what things like “the economy” and “the environment” are and how I feel we can make a difference in the world in whatever areas, in whatever ways we desire. I hope you enjoy this real, raw share of mine in the initial phases of receiving new downloads from the universe. It’s so fun to share and grow with you here!
