Anne Margolis is a Certified Nurse Midwife, author, and trauma specialist who has been catching babies for over twenty-seven years. Anne began as a nurse, whose first birth experience ended in a fourth degree episiotomy and vacuum delivery after being told she needed an emergency cesarean because her baby's heart rate was decelerating.  She was so "checked out" due to stress and shock that Anne describes her first birth as an out-of-body experience. Her baby was born with normal APGARs, which immediately refuted her doctor's fetal distress diagnosis, and she was left completely traumatized in the aftermath. This led her to develop a program for birth trauma healing and turn to home birth midwifery practice, where she could put the mother at the center of the decision-making process. She joins us today to share stories of obstetric violence and redemptive births alike, and to discuss how women can shift their mindsets and make the commitment to birth their babies on their terms, no matter where they choose to give birth.Instagram: HomesweethomebirthNatural Birth Secrets: An Insiders Guide on How To Give Birth Holistically, Healthfully and Safely, and Love the Experience!

In this week's podcast I interview Cheri Grant RN, ICCE, CLC, ICD, CLD, CD BDT(DONA), known in the birth world as "the peanut ball lady.” She is the founder, chief contributor and inspiration for Premier Birth Tools. For over 45 years, she has served women as a labor and delivery nurse, childbirth educator, lactation consultant, national speaker, author, doula, and doula trainer. She has helped with well over 2,700 deliveries in the span of her career. Cheri is also the founder of Tulsa Doulas, a community group that has helped train and support doulas for over 20 years. Cheri's interest in peanut balls began when she first saw their use in labor in 1985. At that time, they were just straddled. In the 2000's, the usage of peanut balls was refined to the side-lying position, and interest in them began to grow among birth professionals. They are used with and without an epidural, and can be effective in shortening labor. Premier Birth Tools promotes education via its website, as well as Peanut Ball Ambassadors and Authorized Peanut Ball Trainers. Cheri discusses peanut ball positions and other new information on this tool.

What if you could be excited about your upcoming birth? Rachel Yellin talks about this feeling on this episode of the Pure Nurture Podcast. She believes you do NOT have to take negative feelings from your past birth into your next. With over 15 years as a birth professional, Depth Hypnosis Practitioner, and yoga teacher, Rachel currently owns and is the primary teacher/coach of Yes To Birth!  If you want to have a less painful, more manageable pregnancy and birth, where you feel excited, calm and prepared for labor, and your baby is born on their terms, Rachel is for you! Rachel will inspire you with facts, opinions, and birth stories, while saying totally inappropriate things, and providing life and relationship skills that go far beyond birth. Rachel will support you to make conscious choices about where, how and with whom to give birth, create the most loving, peaceful pregnancy and birth environment, and see the baby as a wise person whose preferences matter. Rachel has been doing birthwork since 2002. For years she was a very successful doula, and has been teaching childbirth classes, prenatal yoga, and depth hypnosis therapy for a decade. Her audio program has been sold internationally since 2014. In this episode, you'll hear about: Yes! to Birth (3:48) Conscious Parenting & Conscious Birth (13:16) Natural Birth (17:06) How to heal from a difficult or traumatic birth experience (23:04) How to not take a bad birth experience into your next one (28:12) Don't you feel more empowered after that conversation? I hope you're saying, “Yes! My body can do this. Yes! I can do this.” Learn more about this fantastic woman here: RachelYellin.com. As you lower your anxiety about birth, let's lower your anxiety about nursing wear options. My next guest, Devon Berrier created a line of fashionable breastfeeding fashion options for the working mom. The best part? It doesn't look like nursing wear, at all! She also opens up about her postpartum experience and the challenges that she faced. 

So many pregnant women are met with conversations surrounding induction during pregnancy and it can be extremely confronting and overwhelming. As the rates of induction continue to increase with little to no effect on infant and maternal morbidity and mortality rates, we do need to question whether all these inductions are actually necessary.If you're finding it difficult or confusing to navigate conversations with your care provider surrounding induction, if you're after some more information, and particularly if you want to know what the evidence says about induction of labour, then this is absolutely the podcast for you. Midwife Em is joined by the incredibly experienced and knowledgable Professor Hannah Dahlen as they discuss:Does induction really hurt more?How is induction different from spontaneous or "natural labour"?Does it increase or decrease the chance of a Caesarean section?How to avoid unnecessary induction.Some practical tips and questions to ask regarding induction discussion with your midwife or doctor.What does the evidence actually say regarding inductions?Hannah also gives us a great insight into some of her research findings published in 2021 (see below) which looked at outcomes for low-risk first time mothers, including whether inductions impacted rates of Caesarean sections, postpartum haemorrhage, episiotomies, vacuum/forceps births, third/fourth degree tears, and the rates of vaginal birth. Hannah also touches on the US ARRIVE Trial study, and why the findings may not be exactly as they seem.This is an extremely open and honest conversation about the ever increasing rate of unnecessary inductions, though it's also important to note that both Em and Hannah agree that there is a time and place for induction of labour. The key thing is acknowledging the necessity and right for women and their families to be given the opportunity to have open and honest conversations with their care providers, free from coercion and scare tactics, in order to make a decision that is best fore them.If you would like to read more of Hannah's research surrounding induction of labour, here is the link to her incredible study.https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/11/6/e047040Dahlen HG, Thornton C, Downe S, et alIntrapartum interventions and outcomes for women and children following induction of labour at term in uncomplicated pregnancies: a 16-year population-based linked data studyBMJ Open 2021;11:e047040. doi: 10.1136/bmjopen-2020-047040.You can also find Hannah on instagram at @hannah.dahlen.If you want to hear more from Em or want to support the podcast head to:Instagram @midwife_em and @welcometo.thewombLink Tree https://linktr.ee/midwife_emBuy Em a Cuppa https://www.buymeacoffee.com/midwifeem

Proper 14 First Psalm: Psalm 97; Psalms 99–100 Psalm 97 (Listen) The Lord Reigns 97   The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice;    let the many coastlands be glad!2   Clouds and thick darkness are all around him;    righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.3   Fire goes before him    and burns up his adversaries all around.4   His lightnings light up the world;    the earth sees and trembles.5   The mountains melt like wax before the LORD,    before the Lord of all the earth. 6   The heavens proclaim his righteousness,    and all the peoples see his glory.7   All worshipers of images are put to shame,    who make their boast in worthless idols;    worship him, all you gods! 8   Zion hears and is glad,    and the daughters of Judah rejoice,    because of your judgments, O LORD.9   For you, O LORD, are most high over all the earth;    you are exalted far above all gods. 10   O you who love the LORD, hate evil!    He preserves the lives of his saints;    he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.11   Light is sown1 for the righteous,    and joy for the upright in heart.12   Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous,    and give thanks to his holy name! Footnotes [1] 97:11 Most Hebrew manuscripts; one Hebrew manuscript, Septuagint, Syriac, Jerome Light dawns (ESV) Psalms 99–100 (Listen) The Lord Our God Is Holy 99   The LORD reigns; let the peoples tremble!    He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!2   The LORD is great in Zion;    he is exalted over all the peoples.3   Let them praise your great and awesome name!    Holy is he!4   The King in his might loves justice.1    You have established equity;  you have executed justice    and righteousness in Jacob.5   Exalt the LORD our God;    worship at his footstool!    Holy is he! 6   Moses and Aaron were among his priests,    Samuel also was among those who called upon his name.    They called to the LORD, and he answered them.7   In the pillar of the cloud he spoke to them;    they kept his testimonies    and the statute that he gave them. 8   O LORD our God, you answered them;    you were a forgiving God to them,    but an avenger of their wrongdoings.9   Exalt the LORD our God,    and worship at his holy mountain;    for the LORD our God is holy! His Steadfast Love Endures Forever A Psalm for giving thanks. 100   Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth!2     Serve the LORD with gladness!    Come into his presence with singing! 3   Know that the LORD, he is God!    It is he who made us, and we are his;2    we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4   Enter his gates with thanksgiving,    and his courts with praise!    Give thanks to him; bless his name! 5   For the LORD is good;    his steadfast love endures forever,    and his faithfulness to all generations. Footnotes [1] 99:4 Or The might of the King loves justice [2] 100:3 Or and not we ourselves (ESV) Second Psalm: Psalms 94–95 Psalms 94–95 (Listen) The Lord Will Not Forsake His People 94   O LORD, God of vengeance,    O God of vengeance, shine forth!2   Rise up, O judge of the earth;    repay to the proud what they deserve!3   O LORD, how long shall the wicked,    how long shall the wicked exult?4   They pour out their arrogant words;    all the evildoers boast.5   They crush your people, O LORD,    and afflict your heritage.6   They kill the widow and the sojourner,    and murder the fatherless;7   and they say, “The LORD does not see;    the God of Jacob does not perceive.” 8   Understand, O dullest of the people!    Fools, when will you be wise?9   He who planted the ear, does he not hear?  He who formed the eye, does he not see?10   He who disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke?  He who teaches man knowledge—11     the LORD—knows the thoughts of man,    that they are but a breath.1 12   Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O LORD,    and whom you teach out of your law,13   to give him rest from days of trouble,    until a pit is dug for the wicked.14   For the LORD will not forsake his people;    he will not abandon his heritage;15   for justice will return to the righteous,    and all the upright in heart will follow it. 16   Who rises up for me against the wicked?    Who stands up for me against evildoers?17   If the LORD had not been my help,    my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.18   When I thought, “My foot slips,”    your steadfast love, O LORD, held me up.19   When the cares of my heart are many,    your consolations cheer my soul.20   Can wicked rulers be allied with you,    those who frame2 injustice by statute?21   They band together against the life of the righteous    and condemn the innocent to death.322   But the LORD has become my stronghold,    and my God the rock of my refuge.23   He will bring back on them their iniquity    and wipe them out for their wickedness;    the LORD our God will wipe them out. Let Us Sing Songs of Praise 95   Oh come, let us sing to the LORD;    let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!2   Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;    let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!3   For the LORD is a great God,    and a great King above all gods.4   In his hand are the depths of the earth;    the heights of the mountains are his also.5   The sea is his, for he made it,    and his hands formed the dry land. 6   Oh come, let us worship and bow down;    let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!7   For he is our God,    and we are the people of his pasture,    and the sheep of his hand.  Today, if you hear his voice,8     do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah,    as on the day at Massah in the wilderness,9   when your fathers put me to the test    and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work.10   For forty years I loathed that generation    and said, “They are a people who go astray in their heart,    and they have not known my ways.”11   Therefore I swore in my wrath,    “They shall not enter my rest.” Footnotes [1] 94:11 Septuagint they are futile [2] 94:20 Or fashion [3] 94:21 Hebrew condemn innocent blood (ESV) Old Testament: Judges 13:1–15 Judges 13:1–15 (Listen) The Birth of Samson 13 And the people of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, so the LORD gave them into the hand of the Philistines for forty years. 2 There was a certain man of Zorah, of the tribe of the Danites, whose name was Manoah. And his wife was barren and had no children. 3 And the angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her, “Behold, you are barren and have not borne children, but you shall conceive and bear a son. 4 Therefore be careful and drink no wine or strong drink, and eat nothing unclean, 5 for behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. No razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb, and he shall begin to save Israel from the hand of the Philistines.” 6 Then the woman came and told her husband, “A man of God came to me, and his appearance was like the appearance of the angel of God, very awesome. I did not ask him where he was from, and he did not tell me his name, 7 but he said to me, ‘Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. So then drink no wine or strong drink, and eat nothing unclean, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb to the day of his death.'” 8 Then Manoah prayed to the LORD and said, “O Lord, please let the man of God whom you sent come again to us and teach us what we are to do with the child who will be born.” 9 And God listened to the voice of Manoah, and the angel of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field. But Manoah her husband was not with her. 10 So the woman ran quickly and told her husband, “Behold, the man who came to me the other day has appeared to me.” 11 And Manoah arose and went after his wife and came to the man and said to him, “Are you the man who spoke to this woman?” And he said, “I am.” 12 And Manoah said, “Now when your words come true, what is to be the child's manner of life, and what is his mission?” 13 And the angel of the LORD said to Manoah, “Of all that I said to the woman let her be careful. 14 She may not eat of anything that comes from the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, or eat any unclean thing. All that I commanded her let her observe.” 15 Manoah said to the angel of the LORD, “Please let us detain you and prepare a young goat for you.” (ESV) New Testament: Acts 5:27–42 Acts 5:27–42 (Listen) 27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them, 28 saying, “We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man's blood upon us.” 29 But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men. 30 The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree. 31 God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. 32 And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.” 33 When they heard this, they were enraged and wanted to kill them. 34 But a Pharisee in the council named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law held in honor by all the people, stood up and gave orders to put the men outside for a little while. 35 And he said to them, “Men of Israel, take care what you are about to do with these men. 36 For before these days Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing. 37 After him Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the census and drew away some of the people after him. He too perished, and all who followed him were scattered. 38 So in the present case I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or this undertaking is of man, it will fail; 39 but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You might even be found opposing God!” So they took his advice, 40 and when they had called in the apostles, they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. 41 Then they left the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the name. 42 And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching that the Christ is Jesus. (ESV) Gospel: John 3:22–36 John 3:22–36 (Listen) John the Baptist Exalts Christ 22 After this Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside, and he remained there with them and was baptizing. 23 John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because water was plentiful there, and people were coming and being baptized 24 (for John had not yet been put in prison). 25 Now a discussion arose between some of John's disciples and a Jew over purification. 26 And they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, he who was with you across the Jordan, to whom you bore witness—look, he is baptizing, and all are going to him.” 27 John answered, “A person cannot receive even one thing unless it is given him from heaven. 28 You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, ‘I am not the Christ, but I have been sent before him.' 29 The one who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine is now complete. 30 He must increase, but I must decrease.”1 31 He who comes from above is above all. He who is of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks in an earthly way. He who comes from heaven is above all. 32 He bears witness to what he has seen and heard, yet no one receives his testimony. 33 Whoever receives his testimony sets his seal to this, that God is true. 34 For he whom God has sent utters the words of God, for he gives the Spirit without measure. 35 The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. 36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. Footnotes [1] 3:30 Some interpreters hold that the quotation continues through verse 36 (ESV)

In 2008, Care discovered Hypnobirthing for the birth of her second daughter and it changed her life's path. Her second daughter was born with severe special needs but it was her birth preparation that prepared her for such an unexpected postpartum time. Care began teaching Hypnobirthing in 2009 and founded the Birth Education Center in 2011. She is a Hypnotherapist, birth educator and a birth and postpartum doula. She specializes in fear release work, authentic communication and consciously connecting parents with their babies before they are born. It is her belief that babies can experience a “birth day” that is magical, loving, and gentle.

This conversation is not directly homebirth, or even totally birth related, but this information is so applicable to every single one of us, whether we're struggling with chronic illness or not. There is so much we call pull from this discussion with Theresa and apply to our pregnancy, birth and motherhood.   This week we're going to be speaking to Theresa Piela who is as a guest expert and leading an in-depth tapping session for our students inside Happy Homebirth Collective. Theresa, is such a gift.  We are so honored to have her as a guest expert inside of the homebirth collective, and I love that my students get to learn from you in this intimate setting.    Episode roundup Learning to release in one area of life often times allows us to soften and release in other areas. This is such a great reminder for motherhood. A we learn to soften and sink in and release, our experience of motherhood will be positively impacted.           "No one has the answers but you" and there's freedom in that. Ultimately, you get to take full responsibility. Theresa mentioned this in relation to her search for health during chronic illness, and the very same applies for birth. Yes, it is wonderful to find others who can support us, encourage us, and teach us... but ultimately, this is your life. And it's so much more fulfilling, despite the fact that it may at first feel daunting, when we embrace the responsibility.                             If you have the time to think to yourself, "Oh man, I'm not thinking or feeling the way I wanted to...." THAT IS YOUR CUE! You can take that one little moment of awareness-- that's all you need is one little moment-- and remind yourself to refocus. And the more you do this, the more aware you will be come, and the quicker and easier it will be to refocus as time goes on.                                                                                             And finally, I love this one...Remember that we cannot control the craziness around us. We live in a world that can be dark at times, and there is undeniably trouble and struggle within the human condition. But despite this.... or even in light of this...how important is it for us to connect to our babies and let them know how well they are loved. As Theresa said, It's the biggest gift a mother can give their child.   For all of you listening, I highly encourage you to follow Theresa at livingrootswellness on instagram, and I 10/10 recommend her tapping membership, Tapping with T. If you're looking for support, she's giving it out consistently.   Resources: Happy Homebirth Academy FREE Homebirth Essentials Guide Happy Homebirth Collective    

What would it be like to experience the world without the hallucination of true existence being projected onto everything we experience? We need to become a buddha for this to happen, Rinpoche explains. Right now the gross negative imprints left by ignorance from beginningless rebirths decorate whatever appears to us—form, sound, smell, taste, tangible object—making it appear real but it is actually a total hallucination. In reality, it is merely imputed by the mind. From birth to death everything that appears to us is a total hallucination, like watching a movie produced by our karma and then believing everything, including the I, is real. All of the problems of life arise on the basis of this hallucination. Our ignorance creates suffering, this is why we need to eliminate it. A buddha does not have this. Practicing mindfulness of emptiness in daily life is the most important awareness. After one realizes emptiness, all that has been appearing as real, including the I, is understood to not have even an atom of true existence. The teaching for this episode was recorded on June 30, 2019, at Ganden Buddhist Centre, Latvia. 

In most humans there resides deep and hidden unresolved emotional cellular trauma around our collective birth violations. This is because the natural process of soul integration into our little human body at birth was terminated prematurely by severing our umbilical cord from the placenta. #AwakeningSovereignty is about reintegrating, healing, and restoring the emotional and spiritual soul traumas that a human being undergoes and is plagued with until these deep imprints are addressed and resolved.

Birth plans get a bad rap. Let's be honest. If you are an L&D nurse, you have heard the phrase “here's a ticket to the OR.” Instead of being opposed to any and all birth plans, what if we took another stance? What if we decided to be curious instead of judgemental? It is about time we start assessing our bias when it comes to birth plans. Do you know what is included in the patient bill of rights? Do you know if your state prioritizes the birthing person or the baby in an emergency? Are you comfortable with an informed refusal? In this episode, Sarah and Justine discuss birth plans while removing them from the paper. Thinking about the big picture and as a communication tool for their care team. They will talk about general birth plans to the Sacred Birth Plan. Learn some tools, which includes scripts on how to interact with birth plans as well as how to care for patients that have them! If you love or hate birth plans, this episode is for YOU. Thanks for listening and subscribing!

Welcome back beautiful friends! I am ecstatic about this episode because it's near and dear to my heart as a pregnant mama!! I knew from the moment I got pregnant that I wanted to do a home birth. I was lucky to witness my sister homebirth her four beautiful kids and the peace and serenity I saw in her birth spaces helped me see birth as a powerful initiation. When I shared about my home birth plans on IG, I received some questions as to why I chose a home birth. I have THE best community ever and so there were some earnest questions but zero judgment or criticism. I love you all so much!  And as always with everything on my platform and podcast, this is educational and never to invoke shame. However you may have birthed your children is valid and beautiful. I believe in informed consent and I do believe many women do not know they have options outside of the hospital and interventions they may not fully understand the risks of. May this episode fall into the hands of women who are interested in learning and/or want to know their options to birth their own way.  In this episode we talk about: Natural birth vs. birth interventions The risks of interventions like epidurals, induction, pitocin, cervical checks and more Considerations around “emergencies” in birth Things to actually invest in for birth and baby The importance of informed consent Ditching the “nice girl” mentality in pregnancy and birth Healing postpartum Bringing the village back Breastfeeding considerations And so much more Continued reading: Ultrasound: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12071478/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18635388/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4551225/ https://www.midwiferytoday.com/mt-articles/ultrasound-weighing-propaganda-facts/ https://www.aims.org.uk/assets/media/26/ultrasound-unsound.pdf https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/avoid-fetal-keepsake-images-heartbeat-monitors Epidurals: https://www.llli.org/birth-interventions/ https://evidencebasedbirth.com/effect-of-epidurals-on-breastfeeding/ https://www.aacc.org/media/press-release-archive/2020/03-mar/when-mothers-receive-fentanyl-epidurals-during-labor-fentanyl-can-pass-to-their-babies https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0306987718303372 https://academic.oup.com/jalm/article/5/4/686/5809169?login=false https://www.jabfm.org/content/jabfp/16/1/7.full.pdf Benefits of physiological birth: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4235054/ Oxytocin vs. Pitocin: https://sarahbuckley.com/pitocin-side-effects-part1/ https://www.nct.org.uk/labour-birth/your-guide-labour/hormones-labour-oxytocin-and-others-how-they-work Pitocin not recommended for elective inductions in pregnant women (see top of page 2):https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2014/018261s031lbl.pdf Pitocin and risk of PPH: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3555986/

Today Judson Davis, East-West Psychology PhD, takes us on a guided meditation and the conversation emerges from themes that arose in this liminal space. Through integral frameworks we discuss the meaning and purpose behind the world of suffering, the role of evolution and reincarnation, and the need for expanding our awareness beyond the purely human dimension. Judson shares his thoughts about the evolutionary mission of the future human and how it is tied to the original goal of CIIS based on the spiritual and evolutionary vision of Sri Aurobindo, as brought to the west by Haridas Chaudhuri. He also calls for a transformation of our existing paradigm that includes the radical emergence of what he calls a diamond luminosity consciousness based on the vision of evolutionary philosopher Christopher Bache. We discuss the nature of original unity as a basis for individuation and the need for surrendering to a wisdom of complete openness and conceptual insecurity in the face of the great mystery of cosmic unfolding. The conversation then explores the intersection of Jungian Psychology and Tibetan Buddhist Tantra in Judson's own path, and we end by discussing the problems of transcendental idealism, teleology, and the limits of scientific materialism, as well as a future in which one is a co-creator in birthing the divine potential here on Earth. Judson Davis,PhD,is a university educator, author, spiritual counselor, filmmaker, and world traveler. He holds a Doctorate in East-West Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies (2012) and a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology (with emphasis in Jungian Depth Psychology; 2006) from Pacifica Graduate Institute. He has taught on the university, college, and corporate levels in California, Germany, Japan, and South Korea, has produced documentary films, and has presented his work in a variety of public venues. Dr. Davis is the author of the book The Sacred Image: C. G. Jung and the Western Embrace of Tibetan Buddhism as well as numerous peer-reviewed journal publications.

While stablecoins like tether (USDT) offer a cryptocurrency backed by a reserve of fiat assets managed by a central organization, no one entity controls the issuance of DAI.

Featured quotations from Emanuel Swedenborg's Secrets of Heaven:3304:2Goodness but not truth is born into humans, with the result that babies lack any knowledge of truth. Truth has to be learned and then united with goodness.3321:3As a consequence of these facts and others, our earthly self accepts truth much later and with much more difficulty than our rational self does. The result is combat, which lasts quite a long time and does not end until the vessels in our earthly self for receiving goodness have been softened by inward trial, as shown above in §3318. Truth is just a vessel for receiving goodness (§§1496, 1832, 1900, 2063, 2261, 2269), and the vessel becomes harder the more rigid we are about truth. . . . The more rigid we are, the heavier the battle, if we are to be reborn. Accordingly, since this is what happens in the earthly self to unite truth with goodness there, and it is accomplished through the struggles of inward trial, the biblical text repeats I'm worn out.3254The reason it is newness or a new stage that old age symbolizes on an inner level is that angels (the intended audience of the Word's inner meaning) have no idea of time. So they know nothing of time-related concepts such as the different eras of a person's life—childhood, youth, young adulthood, full adulthood, and old age. Instead they replace them all with the idea of states. For the period of childhood they picture an innocent state; for the period of youth and young adulthood, a state of desire for goodness and truth; for full adulthood, a state of understanding; and for old age, a state of wisdom (§3183). In old age we pass from temporal concerns to the concerns of timeless life  and therefore put on a new state. As a result, old age symbolizes newness.

Partner support during the postpartum period is one topic we don't see discussed often. Yet, for the partner, having a baby and learning to parent is an equally transformative experience. Partners experience the birth in a different way than the birthing person. They can experience worry, feelings of helplessness, and even experience vicarious trauma. Partners will typically self-sacrifice to support the birthing person. This is often where the need for more focused support can begin. Sacrificing their own needs to support the birthing person. Setting their need for rest and nourishment aside. As postpartum doulas coming into this dynamic requires assessment skills. What does this partner need most at this point? Where are they struggling? Where are they excelling, and how can we validate and encourage them? Come join us as we discuss the many considerations in how to support partners during the postpartum period.

Have you ever wondered when and how your self-judgment started? You weren't born with an inner critic, but there 100% was a moment of birth of this negative inner voice in all of us. August is National Wellness month and I wanted to do something special. I believe one of the biggest blocks to living hella well is our inner critic's death grip on our thoughts and actions. Every week this month, we'll be diving deeper into what is the inner critic and where it comes from, how it's unknowingly affecting your life, how to work with your inner critic, and helpful tips on ways to silence/calm your inner critic. This week's episode focuses solely on the birth of the inner mean girl that keeps you thinking you're not enough. We'll discuss the survival strategy tests we create to prove we fit in or are worthy, where the inner critic comes from, and some journal prompt questions.
