My Lighter Way

The episode I've been the most excited to share with you... EVER!! Inside, I'm sharing my literal spoon bending experience, where I bent a spoon at a "business conference" using my energy... well... not quite MY energy. In this experience, before bending the spoon, I had a little convo with God. I said, God, if you bend the spoon, I'll believe in what's possible for my business this year, and will whole heartedly believe that it's possible for you to work through me, to support 1000 women through pregnancy and postpartum inside the My Lighter Motherhood program this year. This experience was wild. And there was a tiny voice I heard afterwards that made me make a bold business decision that I've been a little scared to make. Will you recognize it?! Let me know what you think about this episode. Send me a DM and share what you took from it, and if something inside it spoke to you. Sending you all the love, Emma xo

Wondering what hypnobirthing births are all about and what those births actually can feel like? You're about to hear TWO hypnobirthing stories that have so many similarities, despite happening in different parts of the world to two different Mamas. Hypnobirthing has sooo many benefits. You're able to work with and trust your body, you're able to stay calm during labour and often feel less pain, and you're even able to process birth in a grounded and empowered way (whether it goes according to plan - or not!!). I'm joined in this episode by Claire Cook, Host of the Natural Mama Podcast. Claire shares her story of giving birth in Chile, and how she felt confident to advocate and educate herself at just the right moments in her journey, which resulted in a birth experience she is so excited to talk about. I share my hypnobirthing experience too, and how I'm CERTAIN that without hypnobirthing and the tools and mindset it gave me, I very likely could have experienced trauma with my second birth. Instead, I felt confident, safe, secure, and EXCITED about how my birth went. If you're ready to feel SO CONFIDENT and in tune with your body during labour, get my My Lighter Birth Mini course: https://www.mylighterway.com/mylighterbirth/ What was your fave part of this episode?!

Welcome to another episode of the My Lighter Way Podcast, where we explore ways to enhance your birthing experience and stay calm, grounded and cool as a cucumber in your lead up to labor. Today, we'll delve into the importance of trust, breathing techniques, and effective preparation to create a calmer and more easeful birth. I go much deeper into all of this inside the My Lighter Birth course. You can dive into it here: www.mylighterway.com/mylighterbirth Let's get started! Here are the main tips I expand upon in the episode: 1. Trust Your Body: Labor is a unique time where your body takes the lead. Develop a deep connection with your body during pregnancy. Embrace the uniqueness of this journey and allow your body to guide you. 2. Breathe: Practice extended inhale and exhale early in your pregnancy. Focus on the exhale during the pushing stage. Visualization exercises can be incorporated – a mini-course to guide you through. 3. Preparation IS KEY. You're not going to want to skip OR underestimate the potential of this step: Mental Preparation: Program your subconscious mind for a positive experience. Reduce fear through mindful practices. Create a flexible birth plan aligned with your vision. Work towards a positive and calm mindset. Physical Preparation: Engage in fitness routines tailored for pregnancy. Explore various birthing positions for comfort and effectiveness. Support and Environment: Surround yourself with a supportive network. Create a conducive and calming birthing environment. Be Discerning: Mental preparation goes a long way in swinging the pendulum back from all the negative birth stories you've probably heard to the positive ones. Selectively choose information that aligns with your vision. Personalize your preparation based on your desired birthing experience. Example: For instance, in my own journey, the fear of pain was a significant motivator for preparation. I sought positive, holistic, and empowering birth stories that resonated with my vision. Being discerning in the resources I chose allowed me to curate a positive and calm experience. My Lighter Birth Course inclusions: Positive stories to reprogram the subconscious. Breathing techniques and visualizations. Links to favorite resources, including meditations, books, and birth stories. Focus on healthy boundary setting. Streamlined and downloadable resources An introduction to hypnobirthing and how it will change the way you think about and FEEL during labour Available at www.mylighterway.com/mylighterbirth Other resources listed in the episode: Create your birth preferences: Episode #28 My birth story: Episode #13 Pregnancy Masterclass to Support your Emotional Wellbeing as you Prepare for Postpartum: www.mylighterway.com/masterclass Thanks for listening!!

What if a teeeeny tiny change had the potential to change your ENTIRE trajectory? It really can. If you have giant goals in life like me, it can seem daunting or like you're "so far away" from your big picture vision. This year I've been super focused on business growth (while continuing to value and prioritize quality time with my kids, husband and fave people in my life). Some SUPER exciting things have manifested this year, and my favourite have been related to connection. Connection with myself, my kids, my husband, and some INCREDIBLE entrepreneurs that I've pinched myself at having the opportunity to meet and talk to. In today's episode I share 5 life lessons I learned from one particular manifestation. I found myself on the Mind Your Business Podcast (my absolute favourite podcast, tied in first place with the Manifestation Babe podcast), and ultimately challenged myself to show up authentically for 30 days straight with the intention of growing my confidence.

The feeling of JOY and IVF might not be two things you'd naturally put together, but Michelle Streeter (Founder of THRIVF) was able to cultivate less suffering and more joy for herself through her IVF journey and now she helps others do the same! In today's episode, Michelle shares her story of experiencing IVF, multiple losses, and how she used tools like a unique mindset, expansive questioning, and personal growth to find more joy and meaning throughout her experiences.

Pregnant and value your health?! This one is for you. It's an encouraging undertone to something you might be worrying about, or have in the back of your mind... It has to do with your mental health. The newborn stage is a vulnerable time for our mental health, for a whole CLUSTER of reasons. We are recovering from birth, everything is new, our hormones are changing daily, we may be encountering unexpected challenges, and we may have a history of poor mental health that makes us more vulnerable. Plus, there may be stressors in our outside environment that may impact us. Our regular routines and coping strategies might be out the window, or at least a little different for a little while. BUT hear me when I say - hope is not lost! This does NOT have to be a time to suffer or get through. And there are things that we can ALL do to proactively prepare for this time. Boost your mental health. In pregnancy. (or earlier!). Learn strategies that will set you up to feel more empowered and confident to navigate the newborn period, and your emotions within it. Build your emotional resilience. And invite in some fun along the way!!

Of course these are important pieces to learn, but most first time moms make the mistake of forgetting about themselves during this time. Moms have been left to figure things out as we go. Yes, we are capable, powerhouse women, but capable powerhouse women can make this time easier on themselves by being proactive and implementing some of the strategies we cover in today's episode! If you're listening to this episode, you are a step ahead, and part of an exciting time for new moms to set themselves up to THRIVE during the newborn stage.

Riley's story with her son is one of strength, resilience, and finding inner trust. Riley openly shares her experience in finding out about her son's Orofacial Cleft Diagnosis half way through her pregnancy, and the challenges she has overcome with her family since. If you are currently in a similar position, or know of someone who is, this could be a wonderfully insightful episode for you to listen to. While Riley shares her journey, she is quick to share that her experience is her own, and that everyone's journey is unique. There is no one right way to feel or experience this news and situation. Riley's story might just be the beacon of hope that helps you through your journey in a way that feels more supported and less alone. Riley's story is currently at a place where she has a vibrant, healthy 2 year old. She shares her story from this place, imparting wisdom and compassion on those who might not yet see the light that can come from a difficult situation like this. Riley's contact info: www.instagram.com/riley_e_cassidy/ Charities that bring funding and awareness to clefts: https://www.sickkidsfoundation.com/ The Cleft Lip and Palate Program at SickKids is recognized worldwide for providing excellence in Cleft Care and is the largest program in North America. https://www.operationsmile.org/ Without treatment, cleft conditions can cause severe health problems which can become fatal. Operation Smile delivers safe surgery to people who are unable to receive comprehensive care because it's too costly, too far away from their homes, of inadequate quality, or not available at all.

Pregnancy is a POWERFUL time for self-growth. You're not only growing a baby - you are shifting and evolving too.

I am SO freaking excited to share that My Lighter Motherhood is LIVE!! Here is the episode you've been waiting for, if you're pregnant right now (or want to learn more and share the love with your pregnant friends who love personal growth). This course is a year + in the making. Learn about what's inside and how it can help you navigate motherhood with more ease: https://www.mylighterway.com/mylightermotherhood You'll notice in the epi I refer to this program as it's former name. But it's received a beautiful upgrade since then!! It's now called My Lighter Motherhood. This course makes a ripple effect. And it all starts with you. There are two ways to take it in these early stages: There's a self-guided version with 6 months of group support to support you through the rest of pregnancy and well into postpartum. There's also a version that comes with private support to guide you through the embodiment work in the program on a deeper, more personal level, and give you an amazing energy boost postpartum.

Here is a gem to add to your rolodex of super-empowering birth stories! My second birth didn't go according to plan. But I still felt confident and empowered at every step of the journey (and in processing my birth). I strongly believe that sharing empowering feeling birth stories are SO important since we have received so much conditioning around birth (think of all the movies you've seen in your life and how they portray birth). While birth trauma is huge issue, I believe there are ways to decrease (not prevent entirely, but decrease) the chances we will experience trauma in birth. Listening to empowering birth stories might seem like a cute/rose-coloured-glasses thing to do, but it's SO much more than that. Listening to empowering birth stories reshapes beliefs. It lets us know what's possible. It shows us there are other ways! Stories lock in our empowering beliefs even further. So I am SO excited to share mine, and how it is so so possible to feel super confident and empowered about birth EVEN if some things don't go along with your preference sheet ;) Know that baby and I were both safe in this story. That's important for you to know going in. And also know that YOU know yourself best. If you are/may be triggered around hearing unpredictability around birth, this episode *may* not be for you. Trust yourself and seek the info/support/wisdom that resonates with you! If you know it'll feel empowering to you to hear a birth story that felt exciting and like an adventure (BECAUSE it didn't go according to plan), this could be one of your fave additions to your list of empowering birth stories!! Message me with your biggest takeaway and the thing about birth that shifted for you @mylighterway on instagram. If you want to step into birth feeling empowered and fully confident on a mind, body and soul level and create that last boost before you go into labour, send me a message! Choose your adventure: 3 weeks to flow in chit chat with personalized mini-teachings from me OR A potent 2 hour session where you'll receive a fun and relaxing blend of teaching and intuitive girl chats to lock in your amazing energy even more.

The world needs more wealthy spiritual entrepreneurs who are mothers. Super specific, I know. But this combo can do SO much good in the world (in more ways than you might think!). In this episode I dive into exactly how this combo can be so potent, and how spiritual entrepreneurs can supercharge this time to create an even bigger ripple effect. You see, there's a paradigm shift happening within the business world, where more entrepreneurs (especially in the self-development industry) are becoming very wealthy. In this episode, I share why I think this is an amazing thing for the world, and why the entrepreneurs who are spiritual AND mothers brings an especially powerful combination to the table. If you're a mother and a business owner and love spiritual development, this one is for you! Who do you think of when it comes to an inspiring Mother and Entrepreneur who has helped you along your own personal development journey? Share this episode with her, or connect us on instagram!
