About this listen
In this episode, we explore pregnancy and early parenthood as profound inner transformations, not just physical or logistical milestones. In conversation with Vedic meditation teacher, veteran doula, and dear friend Patti Quintero, we look at how the nervous system shapes our experience of conception, pregnancy, birth, and life with a new baby.
Together, we talk about stress, regulation, and the quiet but powerful practices that help us meet change with more adaptability and self-trust. We explore meditation as a form of non-doing, the importance of creating space to de-excite the body, and why tending to our inner world is not another task on the to-do list, but a foundation for navigating this rite of passage.
This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and remember that there is no one right way. Whether you are preparing for birth, newly postpartum, or supporting others through this season, this conversation offers grounding, perspective, and permission to begin again.
