Episode #3 Celia Mei Part 2: Musings on Motherhood. Travel, Play and Breaking Generational Cycles

In this episode of Sovereign Tea Time, I’m back to muse on motherhood with Celia Mei. My kiddos are 7 and 2, and for Celia hers are 7, 4, 2, and 6 months.  We share personal stories about our journeys, including the joys and difficulties of traveling with young children, navigating going back to work after birth, and prioritizing play amidst daily responsibilities. Our discussion emphasizes the need for grounding, connection, and fun amidst the chaos of motherhood. We explore the themes of playfulness as a parenting tool, emotional regulation, and breaking generational cycles of trauma. We discuss the challenges of managing triggers and emotions, and the need for resources and tools to support our parenting journey. We talked about the reciprocal nature of motherhood, where both parents and children learn and grow together, ultimately aiming to foster healthier relationships and emotional well-being.

Episode #1: Celia Mei Part 1: Surrendered Freebirth After 3 Homebirths with Midwives

This California Mama and Sovereign Birth Guardian takes us through her 4 births, all at home, the first 3 with licensed midwives leading up to her recent freebirth. The first baby was “assisted” out by the midwife causing interventions and trauma she later questioned.  In her third birth she found herself inviting too many people, spiraling into fear, and struggling to speak her true need to be alone.  For her fourth birth she was ready to take the leap into freebirth actually suggested by her husband after he had previously been skeptical. Listen to find out the tools she used to surrender into her pregnancy and birth completely outside the medical system!
