Birth and Breast | Self-Discovery While Stepping Into Motherhood

Season 2  | Episode 12 Today we’re sitting down with our friend Amber Legge for an emotionally-charged, raw and riveting story of her experience with childbirth and breastfeeding, and all the self-discovery that came along the way. Society’s expectations of mothers have evolved with a steady ebb and flow over the decades, and sometimes it can feel like a mom can do no right. Many of us parents have felt the overwhelm of wanting to do everything right, no matter what that sacrifices from our own wellbeing. And while everyone seems to reiterate that it takes a village, we know all too well how lonely of a time new motherhood can be. These impossible standards in the world we live in make it more important than ever to allow yourself to ask for help when you need it, as well tuning into the cues your own nervous system sends your way to let you know you’re carrying too much. Ultimately, what is best for the child is what is best for the mom. So identify what brings you joy, what fosters peace within your family, and no matter what anyone else thinks of that, claim it, own it, and you will find your tranquility in the blessing it is to call yourself a mother.   Watch the video version of this episode here: https://youtu.be/EwvgWcIBmNg   Follow Amber on TikTok for all the good, the bad, and the grateful: https://www.tiktok.com/@humannamedamber [https://www.tiktok.com/@humannamedamber]   Find us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healingartpodcast/ [https://www.instagram.com/healingartpodcast/]   Follow us on social media to join the conversation and be a part of our growing community: https://linktr.ee/healingartpodcast [https://linktr.ee/healingartpodcast]   Learn more about Chelsy and energy coaching at Elevated Intuition: https://www.yourelevatedintuition.com [https://www.yourelevatedintuition.com] IG: https://www.instagram.com/elevated.intuition/ [https://www.instagram.com/elevated.intuition/]   Learn more about Allison and her practice, Core Strong Physical Therapy: https://www.corestrongphysicaltherapy.com [https://www.corestrongphysicaltherapy.com] IG: https://www.instagram.com/core.strong.pt/ [https://www.instagram.com/core.strong.pt/]   Check out what goodies we have on our shop page here, courtesy of our friend Becca Dodmead and in collaboration with her wonderful nonprofit, Artisans for Good : https://www.buymeacoffee.com/healingartpod/extras [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/healingartpod/extras] Find out more about Artisans for Good at https://goodartisans.org/ [https://goodartisans.org/]   If you’ve enjoyed coming along with us on this voyage, consider buying us a coffee to help support us on the next chapter to come! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/healingartpod [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/healingartpod]     Acoustic Guitar by Colt Johnson, https://tinyurl.com/Colt-Johnson [https://tinyurl.com/Colt-Johnson]   Produced by Blue Moon Syndicate Studios, 2023 bluemoonsyndicate.com [http://bluemoonsyndicate.com/]

Designed for Pleasure | Exploring Sexuality with Christian-Based Sex Therapist Erin Pritchard

Season 2  | Episode 10 We’re joined today by the lovely Erin Pritchard, a delightful and incredibly impactful EMDR counselor and Christian-based sex therapist, to discuss how purity culture has affected our views on sexuality in conjunction with the Christian faith. She’ll start us off with a brief explanation of EMDR and how it can be used to foster healing from trauma and stress, and help us to understand the difference of societal interpretation of biblical ideologies and their true theological meaning as intended by God. God did not create our sexuality on accident, nor as a necessary evil required in order to be fruitful and multiply. We were thoughtfully and beautifully designed, and part of that design is the intention of pleasure and enjoyment through the holy connection that sex was created to be. Unfortunately, however, the world we live in has misused and twisted the word to fulfill a narrative that simplifies the complexities of what that means. Written in an ancient and patriarchal political climate, some interpretations of the Bible’s messages about sex have been used to control and guilt both men and women, and have created damaging stereotypes about desire that demonize something that intended to be a holy representation of intimacy.  Not only has this shaped many unhealthy ways of thinking, it has also sowed seeds of shame and indignified our enjoyment of this connection within our relationships with our partners as well as ourselves. Join us to hear how this messaging has evolved and affected our minds and our marriages, and what you can do to rewrite that thinking pattern and understand the theological intention our creator had for our sexuality.   You can learn more about Erin Pritchard and the phenomenal work she is doing within our community at: https://www.seaglassohio.com/erin-pritchard [https://www.seaglassohio.com/erin-pritchard]   And if you’re interested in diving deeper into this topic and exploring more ways to incite beauty and truth into your sexuality, check out this fantastic book reccomendation from today’s episode: The Great Sex Rescue by Sheila Wray Gregoire https://amzn.to/3Fo8mLQ [https://amzn.to/3Fo8mLQ]     Find us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healingartpodcast/ [https://www.instagram.com/healingartpodcast/]   Follow us on social media to join the conversation and be a part of our growing community: https://linktr.ee/healingartpodcast [https://linktr.ee/healingartpodcast]   Learn more about Chelsy and energy coaching at Elevated Intuition: https://www.yourelevatedintuition.com [https://www.yourelevatedintuition.com/] IG: https://www.instagram.com/elevated.intuition/ [https://www.instagram.com/elevated.intuition/]   Learn more about Allison and her practice, Core Strong Physical Therapy: https://www.corestrongphysicaltherapy.com [https://www.corestrongphysicaltherapy.com/] IG: https://www.instagram.com/core.strong.pt/ [https://www.instagram.com/core.strong.pt/]   Check out what goodies we have on our shop page here, courtesy of our friend Becca Dodmead and in collaboration with her wonderful nonprofit, Artisans for Good : https://www.buymeacoffee.com/healingartpod/extras [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/healingartpod/extras] Find out more about Artisans for Good at https://goodartisans.org/ [https://goodartisans.org/]   If you’ve enjoyed coming along with us on this voyage, consider buying us a coffee to help support us on the next chapter to come! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/healingartpod [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/healingartpod]   Acoustic Guitar by Colt Johnson, https://tinyurl.com/Colt-Johnson [https://tinyurl.com/Colt-Johnson] Produced by Blue Moon Syndicate Studios, 2023 bluemoonsyndicate.com [http://bluemoonsyndicate.com/]

Divine Harmony | Masculine and Feminine Energy

Season 2  | Episode 9   Today Allison and Chelsy are cozying into a beautiful conversation about balancing the scales between the divine masculine and the divine feminine energies, and identifying how you can utilize each of these parts of yourself for healing and growth in your own life. Feminine energy, often characterized by receiving, listening to your intuition, and allowing yourself to fluidly feel and be, is contrasted by masculine energy, which we recognize as driven and logical, projecting and giving and pointing the way towards the goal with plan in mind. Living too entirely in that masculine mindset can very quickly become a recipe for being controlling and aggressive, while allowing the flow of the emotional feminine to completely overtake your logical brain can create a feeling of powerlessness and foster codependency. As with many things, the sweetest spot lies  somewhere in the middle. Join us as we explore our own experiences with the flow between, and how we can recognize and identify those energies within ourselves.   Find us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healingartpodcast/ [https://www.instagram.com/healingartpodcast/]   Follow us on social media to join the conversation and be a part of our growing community: https://linktr.ee/healingartpodcast [https://linktr.ee/healingartpodcast]   Learn more about Chelsy and energy coaching at Elevated Intuition: https://www.yourelevatedintuition.com [https://www.yourelevatedintuition.com] IG: https://www.instagram.com/elevated.intuition/ [https://www.instagram.com/elevated.intuition/]   Learn more about Allison and her practice, Core Strong Physical Therapy: https://www.corestrongphysicaltherapy.com [https://www.corestrongphysicaltherapy.com] IG: https://www.instagram.com/core.strong.pt/ [https://www.instagram.com/core.strong.pt/]   Check out what goodies we have on our shop page here, courtesy of our friend Becca Dodmead and in collaboration with her wonderful nonprofit, Artisans for Good : https://www.buymeacoffee.com/healingartpod/extras [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/healingartpod/extras] Find out more about Artisans for Good at https://goodartisans.org/ [https://goodartisans.org/]   If you’ve enjoyed coming along with us on this voyage, consider buying us a coffee to help support us on the next chapter to come! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/healingartpod [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/healingartpod]     Acoustic Guitar by Colt Johnson, https://tinyurl.com/Colt-Johnson [https://tinyurl.com/Colt-Johnson]   Produced by Blue Moon Syndicate Studios, 2023 bluemoonsyndicate.com [http://bluemoonsyndicate.com/]
