How can we bring the beauty, wisdom, and deep healing of traditional practices into modern birthwork and motherhood, while honouring their roots?

Under September’s full moon, we sit in the messy middle of it all—thresholds, tenderness, and the very human urge to know what’s on the other side. In this episode, Lauren shares the mixed cocktail of grief and excitement as her daughter starts preschool and a whole new chapter of life and motherhood (and schedule) opens up. Nicole reflects on the one-year mark of her child’s autism diagnosis and what softened in their family because of language, support, and self-compassion. We also ...

2025/07/10

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 c...

2025/05/21

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 epis...

Buckle up. This one’s a ride. We honestly joked that the whole thing could’ve just been a blooper reel LOL but buried inside the Moana 2 quotes, pizza-cupcake metaphors, fat cat analogies, and all the giggles… There’s something real here. Something tender. Something we both needed to say out loud, and maybe you needed to hear?? We hold our usual nuance and throughout this episode of Musings & Magick, we tumble through: The guilt and shame around wanting “too much”The difference betw...

We all know about the “shoulds”, but what about the “coulds”? In this episode we reflect on this sneaky feeling of always feeling “behind” despite logically knowing that time is just a construct. We realize what’s actually happening is this feeling of lost potential and disappointment of not getting as much done as we wanted to. Which leads us to explore how we are already shedding the “shoulds” but what about the “coulds”? The “I could be doing more”, “I could be working on...

We’re so often given the advice of “more being, less doing” yet what does this actually look like in modern motherhood as busy, potentially high achieving, and conscious mothers or women entrepreneurs? It can be easy to enter a shame spiral when we find ourselves betraying our own needs or not following through on things we intend to do. In this episode, we uncover the identity of efficiency and discuss how being efficient can be a strong motivator in our day to day actions. We refl...
