I have been very busy life-ing, particularly with two extremely active toddlers, and therefore my priorities have majorly shifted. I may return to this podcast once we're all settled into our new home and routine in Sweden in the fall, but I'm not going to commit to any definitive timeline or frequency.

In this episode, I discuss one of the major inspirations of the decision to take a step back, Michaeleen Doucleff's newest book Dopamine Kids, along with my desire to place more time and attention on fostering in-person relationships with my community right here.

I talk about which high-value activities I'd like to replace with some low-value activities I became accustomed to and what life will probably look like for at least the next few months.

While my goal is to be online less, particularly on instagram, I don't take for granted the meaningful connections I've made thanks to social media.

Isabella Malbin is a former liberal feminist who helps women unpack the ideologies, industries, and medical technologies that seek to control women’s bodies through the Whose Body Is It podcast and instant access classes.

Welcoming Isabella Malbin of @whosebodyisit back after her initial episode three years ago, we discuss:

• why there is no such thing as "ethical" porn
• why it isn't normal to normalize porn in your marriage
• why porn is inherently harmful even if you think all adults are consenting
• how we can rewrite the script as parents when having conversations with our children about porn
• How porn subliminally infiltrates other aspects of our culture and society like body hair and body modification
• Boundaries and values around porn consumption in a marriage

You can take the masterclass Remove Porn From Your Relationship + Bedroom. Even if porn is not an issue in your marriage, like it is not for me, it's great to have clear and confident talking points especially when people claim "sex work is work" and "ethical porn is okay."

Just over three years after airing our episode with chiropractor Dr. Madalyn Turner, I sit down with her twin sister Dr. Johanna Hartley, who is also a chiropractor, to learn about how she has been pulled between the highly medicalized hospital system and her family's holistic values after discovering her second son, born at home, had a congenital defect called Hypospadius in which the urethra is not where it is supposed to be.

It turns out, he had the most severe version.

To give you an idea of where Dr. Johanna falls on the crunchy scale, she is a non-vaccinating chiropractor who prefers to use conventional, OTC medication as a last resort. In her story, it becomes apparent how humbling and earth shattering supporting your infant through three major surgeries is and how it rocks your world and forces you to exercise discernment with prioritizing your holistic values.

In this episode, you'll hear how Dr. Johanna and her husband ultimately find the right surgeons out-of-state for their son's procedure and how they knew the first opinion they received from a local "expert" was subpar. Dr. Johanna also walks us through her first two birth experiences and how this initiation into motherhood laid the foundation for how she shows up for her family and her worldview.

If you are grappling with making complex decisions, especially given your holistic values, in the face of medical necessity, then this episode is for you.
