A year has gone by with very few episodes up on the pod, maybe you've noticed. What I thought would be a year filled with episodes and all the things business growth, the 2021-2022 school year quickly became a year of everything taking a backseat except for motherhood.

For four months, I left the podcast go. My heart was heavy, my mind spinning with worry, and my spirit exhausted. I questioned if I would ever return to it. I contemplated a new name and look (this is still a possibility). I allowed the voice in my head to grow bigger and bigger that my words were not needed.And, then, four months to the day of the last episode release, I felt the spark return and grabbed the mic.This is the story of where I've been and a WELCOME back to all of my listeners.With gratitude for your support and a peace in my heart that I am right on time on this release.More to come…..www.angieschaffer.comIG @angielynnschaffer

Through the experience, it became crystal clear how important it is to tend to the birthing container as a sacred and intentional space. She realized through the painful sequence of events that unfolded when these elements were not present at her daughter's birth, that these subtle yet important aspects may impact whether a mother or her child will incur trauma.The experience and her subsequent journey of healing and integration, lit a fire in Katie to be a champion for a paradigm shift around the reclamation of the sacredness of birthing. This was a catalyst for much of the transformational work Katie now shares in empowering and supporting other mothers.She works with women one on one, in groups via her online course “Reclaim Your Birth”, and throughout the year in live circle journeys.You can connect with Katie @ www.innerwisdommotherhood.com and on IG @innerwisdommotherhood.You can connect with Angie @ www.angieschaffer.com and on IG @angielynnschaffer.
