Show notes:- Song I Can Only Imagine - My Dad Chuck died two weeks ago. They payed this song at his funeral, and I have always loved this song. So much. - Showing my work - I'm sunsetting this podcast, it's been super fun and now I need this time to pursue my next adventure, which looks like a series of books about erotic tarot readings, and licensing intellectual property. Whoo, that's a combo. - From the doing things outside dept, fruits trees are planted, and layering the biodiversity by way of chickens and bees. - Also grabbed a Library card, and checked out a book. My Hair is a Garden, we are doing our own Black History Month at our house. At the end of the book, it had a section on how to care for black hair and spiked great conversations about differences, and why it important to know, have knowledge base beyond our own personal care. With a five year old. I'm feeling good about my parenting here. Anyway, revelations happen at the library. Micheal Moore once said, you never want to piss off the librarians. The updated term is Mixed Media Specialists, I think.- - I asked my friend Amanda to speak about Ancestor shrines. It replay helped when I was thinking about Chuckles, and grieving the future we would never have together.

Links and such Song: I can DO IT Show My Work: Services Pregnant individuals may experience a spike in heart rate around 33-34 weeks.

Dark Energy, or Hormones. Hard to Tell Sometimes. Song: ⁠Deeper Well by Kacey Musgraves. I've always liked her a bunch, in fact at one of the lowest points in my life I was sitting in a lawn chair at a dusty music festival with my dog Electra, and she came out on stage and there were like 4 other people in the audience, she was maybe the first band, and she sang “ Woke up on the wrong side of rock bottom,” and my life was forever changed, I had a string, a thread, of someone who could feel where I was at, and had climbed their way back to the other side. Deeper Well, "Saying goodbye to people who are wasting my time." Showing my work: Writing-wise, I started loading my presentation into Canva, the Collaborative Pelvic Exam that I'm sharing at ATM conf in May. After I present, I'll record that onto Vimeo and host on the back page of my website, so if you can't attend and that topic has punch for you, join my newsletter and that will let you know when it goes live.

Song: Fast Car which Tracy remarked, "It's not about a car." which I remember but can't find a citation. Showing my work: Continued to tweak and work over the Birth Prep Prenatal offering.

How has that affected your body balance? VBAC Assessment (hit this sooner rather than later) link to book (H-town peeps or virtual) Ancestor Shrine: I tend to use altar and shrine interchangeably, and while they aren't exactly the same, for me it's close enough. Growing up in El Paso, Ofrendas were a thing, and part of daily life both around 11/2 and all year around I've been super blessed with many teachers, and those who taught me the most about ancestor work have been Elena Avila, Woman Who Glows in the Dark, a curandera from my hometown. My Dutch grandmother Annekae, a professional wise woman. Afua Hassan, And FF (in the Ifa tradition.) I have a couple of altars in my spaces, in my workspace I have invited my grandmother to be with me and guide me. I also realized I had a low-key altar to Afua, and I wanted to snaz it up. A song that inspired me to dive deeper into understanding domestic violence and my privilege, and somehow connected me to Afua, and wanting to show up for pregnant people who may be low-resourced and in harm's way. A birth revolution and body autonomy are how I choose to represent, with Mama Afua on my mind. Wrap-up: As always, you know you best.

Two Tells: When a Community-Based Birth Isn't Gonna Happen Here Song: Been Listening to John Mayor's "Sob Rock" on repeat. Who do you think he wrote all those songs about? Show your work: This week I added more 411 to my collaborative pelvic exams presentation, focused on the need for safety and consent so that the tissues will be optimally responsive.

Planner updates: I've been using the Laurel Denise and Passion Planner, slowly migrating into the LD as I grieve all the artwork and groovy stickers that went into the Passion Planner. I've temporarily moved into a backpack (my sister's Vera Bradly Black quilted with cherry lining, thank you very much.) My sister, who is an undated planner hater, just caved and bought the mini undated planner that has just been released and will be writing them with her fancy pens, but no stickers lol From a chat I had with Ellen Heed: 2 “tells” that a baby doesn't want to be born in a community setting like a birth center or homebirth, that the baby would be better served born in a more medical environment.

Afterbirth 10/6/20: My Baby's Birthday Makes Me Cry "Instead of being happy with my kid's birthday, it brings up birth trauma and grief for what I didn't get get". ~ this in from new member Lindy Points of talking were: Shared decision making harm reduction and how this plays out negatively and positively in almost all birth environments. Miscarriage brings up "the what if spiral" and how the not knowing of why this happened is one of the worst aspects of a rough time for many. Also compassion to Chrissy Tegan and her family during this hard time. I appreciate her sharing her raw AF grief and shining a light on a horrid time that often gets hid. The grief box ~ https://twitter.com/LaurenHerschel/status/946888649781608448 Tiff and Katelin say schedule time on the reg that is the same time so that you prioritize, and even if you don't have anything to do, hide in your room with a locked door and read a book. Whatever going on outside that door is a plastic ball that will bounce. Wait, what? Rowan heard a great analogy attributed to Nora Roberts about dropping balls when juggling the work/life balance. When juggling balls, one or more is going to fall, like this is a given. Which ball s plastic, and will bounce and be fine. Which is glass and won't bounce. Spoiler alert: Moms and postpartum folx are treated as disposable styrofoam when instead, YOU are the glass.

Welcome to AfterBirth, A Fourth, and more Trimester Support Group. Hey loves, today we cover the gritty topic of Conceiving a Baby without Consent. Three of the people in group have had or are having that pregnant experience, and so they chat it out. I appreciate their vulnerability, and what that journey has looked like for them, did it impact bonding, at what is a horizontal identity. We also talked about hair, both curly Black hair, and straight euro hair, and what's the plan when it falls out in chunks. EJOLE! So hop in, love us up as we figure out how to navigate this world, together.

This is a follow up to #Mixed, Midwifery & Facial Tattoos. Our girl Kati has some follow up questions that Rowan asks DeShaun to weigh in on re midwifery programs and apprenticeships. We all agree that "clean and neat" in appearance is subjective, and most likely is code for, as DeShaun says, "Look like a white girl." Ugh. So it is a real and gritty convo, and we desperately need all the midwives and future midwives to get this show on the road cause we need ya. This is how we can make a dent in the Black maternal mortality and morbidity rate, which is so APPALLING. #blackmidwivesmatter #MOC #midwiferystudent Schools mentioned are Southwest Tech where DeShaun is going, they are MEAC accredited and she can use her VA benefits. https://www.swtc.edu/academics/programs/health-occupations/midwife School I'm looking at that had previously dismissed is Midwives College of Utah.

How to Become a Midwife ~ Three things are going on in this podcast. 1) facial tattoos, what's "appropriate" on a mixed-race woman, and what's not culturally appropriating on a "Rainbow White" person like myself. We both see ourselves marked as other, and for myself, "healer" (y'all know how I feel about that term) so we chat about navigating that, and decide next time she's in town its happening! 2) midwifery ed, CNM vs CPM, pros and cons and not even knowing if that's a fit cause everyone is white-passing as hell when she looks at her local birth community. And. did I mention she had a homebirth at age 16? 3) #Mixed art project, she gets with amazing photographer Blue Fitzcarraldo and Kati's friends. Go here now to see pics. https://preggers.rocks/a-mixed-experience-in-the-united-states-of-america/ Being mixed invites comments from every angle. Being mixed means your appearance makes people just comfortable enough to voice watered down opinions. Being mixed comes with the weight of choices laced with disappointment. Find Kati here: IG account https://www.instagram.com/katilady0/ Kati and I love each other, and this is a voice amplification action. #blacklivesmatter #thisiswhathealinglookslike #blackmidwife #biracial --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pcbc/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pcbc/support

AfterBirth, a Fourth and More Trimester Support Group Today we talked a bunch about parenting, and specifically, boys getting haircuts and not liking pink anymore because of pressure from 6-year-old peers. How do we even combat that? Our kids conforming to gender roles to be cool or fit in or whatever while parts of ourselves die and we navigate explaining that its ok to be you. Gender Bread Person is a cool tool From there we flowed into consent and teaching consent and what does that look like when you are peeling an unconsenting kid off their sibling who did not consent to get crawled all over.

AfterBirth, A Fourth and More Trimester Support Group: 1/21/20 Losing Our Sh!z w/Our Kids "I get so angry at myself for not controlling my own emotions while being upset at him for not controlling his emotions." Talking over guilt, kids flipping out, the neighbor calling the police, kids saying mean things, transcending the urge to snarkily say, "Whelp, ask your new mom for that then," and how to create a calm soothing space (for the kids) to learn emotions and make decisions before acting. Exploring the differences between how the other parent interacts with kids, and their responses when boundaries are set. Love and logic has some parenting tools. https://www.loveandlogic.com/products/parenting-with-love-and-logic Daniel Tiger has some emotion songs, https://youtu.be/w0VQIJVnoxU and Calm Corner tools https://genmindful.com/products/time-in-toolkit Mama Dee asked if we had heard of Formula911 https://www.formula911.com/ Bev's mastitis kept recurring so she made a strong choice.

AfterBirth, a Fourth and more Trimester Support Group My husband came into the bedroom, while the midwife was stitching me up, " They want to see the baby....." Actual quote from today's group. ACTUAL QUOTE. This shaped how MamaD planned every subsequent postpartum period, and how she managed people and visitors. Some wins, some not so much, but always fine-tuning the plan. We also talked about how folks may be pissed if they can't run over and see your new baby, but as a recent client pointed out, its better if they are mad rather than the person who just gave birth. Bonding is not optimal when you are seething with anger. Listen in and commiserate as we talk about what worked, what didn't, and how to move forward.

AfterBirth, A Fourth and More Trimester Support Group 1/7/9 Holidays and Rituals* AfterBirth is an online support group we record and document for the masses. Feeling lonely? No worries, we got ya. Today we talked about holiday shenanigans, reviewed the Friend Making Exercise that Katelin, Dr.B and Rowan attended, and brainstormed ideas on what other fun classes for date nite, anniversary, or doing something fun for ourselves might be.
