February on this podcast is about radical self love. Which to me starts with seeing ourselves the light and shadow sides. My mind is still reeling from the depth of this talk. The amount of shame I carried for years around these subjects is still lingering and has had me on the brink of not publishing this conversation. I hope it creates a space for others to feel safe sharing feelings though. Becca is a a powerful brilliant soul who has so much to share and give. Her medicine is helping women around all things family planning, pregnancy, labor and the after. I know she will be back on the podcast in the future with more to share. ****Trigger Warning for birth trauma.****Love what you heard and need to connect with Becca?Find Becca on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/therebeccawhite Website: https://www.purposeandpotential.org/Insta: https://www.instagram.com/thebeccawhite/ Want to keep up with It Ain't Pretty on Instagram?

Leanna and I connected through facebook where so many of my best deep powerful connections have started. We took some time to talk about relationships between women. I truly believed for most of my life that women were caddy, mean and competition. We dug into why and how those beliefs started and the change that had to happen for the relationships to change. We seriously do attract in others what we perceive and put out into the universe.If you love it leave a rating! Your comments and love are fuel to my soul and keep me wanting to share more.
