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.

In this solo end-of-year episode, I share the story of La Loba, the Bone Woman, as a guiding metaphor for times of transition and reflection. Through this myth, we explore what it means to gather the bones of our lived experience, to honor the pause before change, and to wait for the song that brings vitality back into what we have built.

This episode invites you to slow down at the threshold of the year and reflect on where you are in your own unfolding. Whether you are navigating pregnancy, postpartum, parenthood, or another season of becoming, this is a reminder that not all phases are meant for forward motion. Some are for listening, waiting, and remembering what animates us from within.

In this episode, I sit down with doula, educator, and longtime friend Lori Bregman for a grounded and heartfelt conversation about birth as a rite of passage and the deeper role of the doula. Together, we explore how pregnancy and birth invite profound inner change, and how support rooted in presence, authenticity, and trust can shape not only the birth experience but also the transition into parenthood. Lori shares her perspective on birth as a portal, the importance of moving beyond "should," and how mind, body, and spirit support can help parents quiet the noise, reclaim agency, and meet this threshold with clarity and self-trust. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and remember that birth is not only about bringing a baby into the world. It is about becoming someone new.
