No matter what kind of birth experience you want to have, the right support makes all the difference! Sarah & Matthew share how they were the creators of their experience and how love, trust, and confidence gave them what they needed to achieve the home birth they desired.So thankful for the wisdom and clarity that Sarah and Matthew shared. Their experience will be so helpful to moms and dads interested in giving birth at home.
When it comes to giving birth, most people think about hospitals. However, has homebirth come across your mind? For Sarah and Matthew, halfway through their pregnancy, they did. And this experience turned them into advocates of powerful and transformational births. Listen as they talked about the ways that their preparations differed - Sarah prepared herself emotionally and mentally while John prepared himself physically and logistically. They also touched on the importance of preparing themselves as a couple for parenting two children at once. Finally, they shared the importance of sexuality and intimacy as partners. Sarah and Matthew Bivens are the creators of Doing It At Home, a platform for empowering home birth content and community. The Doing It At Home podcast started in 2016 when they were pregnant with their first child and switched from hospital birth to a home birth halfway through the pregnancy. Both balanced lifestyle coaches prior to becoming parents, Sarah and Matthew have taken their past coaching experience and married it with their passion for home birth to make DIAH the ultimate space for home birth empowerment. Together since 2012, Matthew and Sarah currently live in Marietta, Georgia, with their daughter Maya and are pregnant with their second child, due later this winter 2022. In this episode: Sarah and Matthew share their story of how they switched from planned hospital birth to a homebirth halfway through their first pregnancy and how this led to them becoming advocates for home birth. It is important to be open to questioning one's beliefs about birth. This helped Sarah and Matthew make the switch to doing it at home. Sometimes, the birth partner can be completely wiped at the end. It is important for your partner to be there for you fully during labor as much as possible. Sarah discusses her experience of having two pregnancies, one of which was unplanned and difficult. It may take time to reach a place of trusting the process, but it is important to honor your own timeline. The couple shares their experiences preparing for their second home birth, noting that the preparation process has been different due to the addition of a second child. Bringing in more sexuality and intimacy into the relationship is in alignment with couples. It is incredibly significant and is a component of health, just like physical and mental health. Key Takeaways: Be open to questioning your beliefs about birth Address your fears with intentionality Have trust in divine timing through the difficult process Allow yourself to trust the process in order to focus on other things Every birth requires a different type of preparation Establish rituals to support sexuality and intimacy in your relationship Tweetable Quotes: “Sarah and I are open to questioning why we do things and examining things in different ways... That allowed us and made it easier for us to say, ‘You know what, maybe the hospital isn't for us.'... Let's get intentional about what we want our birth vision to be.” - Matthew Bivens “When you make choices like your birth, that's just the beginning, that's the tip of the iceberg because then you have a human that you're making choices for… People have a lot of opinions on that, too. But it was mostly just around the safety, or the question of the safety. And it really came from uneducated places of just fear, and you know, masked in care and love.” - Sarah Bivens “We very much believe that sexual energy is incredibly significant. You know, lifeforce energy, and that it has the ability to heal has the ability to create to manifest. And so not only to create new life but to create abundance on so many different levels.” - Matthew Bivens Connect with Sarah and Matthew!Website: https://doing-it-at-home.teachable.com/ Podcast: https://diahpodcast.com/ Book: https://www.amazon.com/Doing-At-Home-Confident-Experience/dp/B098GVJ9KL Connect with Debra!

There is a lot of misunderstanding around the idea of vulnerability. Many people think it is a weakness, but in reality, it takes more strength to be vulnerable. It's "easy" to close down and hide your truth, but that also comes at a great cost. Your inner peace! Prior to recording the last episode with my friend Matthew Bivens, we were chatting about vulnerable conversations and how as we grow, it becomes easier to have vulnerable conversations about the past, but can still be challenging to have current moment vulnerability. In this episode, I'm going to talk about the ideas around being vulnerable, what it does for you and share a recent vulnerable experience from my life. Something I aim to do more of, being more present tense vulnerable with you all. It is my intention that through demonstrating this, you can see how it is a gift to our healing and the honoring of our most authentic selves!

Having It ALL: Conversations about living an Abundant Loving Life
Have you ever found yourself at a crossroads where you knew with all your soul that one decision was better for you than another, yet making that decision was terrifying? I've shared various parts of my story over the 5+ years of this podcast, and there's a theme that comes up for me often: crossroads moments. I can think to a handful of very specific, very powerful moments where the choices I made sent my life in a whole new direction. On today's episode, I'm sharing with you an interview that I did with my good friend Ross Leppala, host of the great podcast Project UnchainED. In this conversation Ross is interviewing me, which is a great reversal of roles. What I love about Ross is that he has his own very powerful story about a crossroads moment in his life, which propelled him down the path of spiritual and transformational self work. I won't share the details here because I really want you to go listen to Ross's podcast to hear the story (he shares it in the very first episode of Project UnchainED). In this interview Ross and I get very open, raw and real about a lot of topics: love vs fear, sexual healing, monogamy, and more. This was a fun conversation for me and I hope it brings up some uncomfortable things within you for you to look at and explore!

Today we talk to Sarah and Matthew Bivens, hosts of Doing it at Home, a home birth podcast sharing powerful stories and conversations to normalize home birth and support families in being as prepared and supported in their journeys. They realized the important of sharing and normalizing home birth stories after their own home birth experience, and they continue to work to make choosing home birth a normal and well understood option for any new parents who may be considering it. We talk about Sarah and Matthew's decision to have their baby at home, and the process they went through in making that decision, as well as the opposition that they faced along the way. We talk about the discussions they had as a couple to be comfortable with the decision and the research they did to get there. We also talk about approaching conversations about birth decisions with doctors or relatives that have concerns. We then talk about Sarah's labor and birth; what they were surprised by and what was expected. We talk about support for the birth partner and how Matthew was supported during the labor as well. We talk about how the home birth experience impacted their relationship and how making birth choices and honoring the experience together can strengthen a couple. Finally we talk about the questions that new parents can ask if they are on the fence about having a home birth.

Matthew Bivens Is a guy with the wild idea that each and every one of us can HAVE IT ALL. He believes real success is measured in who you become as a person and how you influence yourself, others and life. We all have a story, and Matthew's is probably not too different from yours. From emotionally beating the hell out of himself daily, to living constantly in a mix of fear and self doubt, to raging jealousy and self judgement — He had become a master at living a fear based life. But through some humbling breakdowns and amazing breakthroughs he experienced healing, growth and a recognition that an abundant loving life is right there to take!

Matthew Bivens is a fellow podcaster and is all about helping others get abundance in life.Monday Morning RoutineAt 5:45 in the morning, Matthew needs to take a freezing cold shower, journal his intentions for 30 minutes, do an hour and a half work out, and eat a smoothie bowl. That is he is supposed to start his day everyday. He is tossing all these out because he is more interested in doing what works for him. And what keeps him flowing. All that perfectionist stuff doesn't serve him.Time When Monday Was DreadedHe hated Mondays when he was in school. He never liked high school very much. In high school, he became more self aware. He became much more self conscious. He became much more judgmental, more critical, all these different things. He remembered very vividly; on Monday mornings, he would see his dog laying in the carpet and thinking, Oh man! I wish I could just be you right now coz I don't want to go to school. He disliked Mondays. Mondays are the beginning of the grind. The beginning of the 5 days. Unlike now.Favorite Mantra 1.

What would the world be like if there were more people walking around with an abundant mindset? What if we were all just a bit more compassionate towards one another? What kind of a beautiful world could we create? Today I'm talking to Matthew Bivens, host of the Having it A.L.L. Podcast! On his show, Matthew talks about how to live and Abundant and Loving Life that fulfill you at every level! Personally, I think that a lot of the reasons why the world is not a more perfect place is strictly because of our unified consensus that it couldn't be better… It's our collective DECISION to continue living in the world we find ourselves in… With a unified and purposeful shift, we could change the consensus and make a more perfect world.

Today for Throwback Thursday we're talking with Matthew Bivens: podcaster, father, husband, entrepreneur, and 5 year player of the YourDay Balance Game.
What are the best life lessons to learn along your journey? How do you know what your next step is? What if you're a little too introverted and can't seem to find the courage to take steps that you believe you need to take? Matthew Bivens and I have a discussion about this in this special mid-week show.
1. Have you ever listened to a motivational teacher to the point where you were ready to make huge changes in your life, but after a couple days you lost all that motivation? Motivational teaching is great for building you up, but where do you go after you come back down? 2. Matthew Bivens joins me and we talk about wisdom and when everything in life is failing.
Letting go of a narcissistic parent can seem like cutting off a limb to some people, but what happens right after the moment you make the decision to cut them out of your life? Matthew Bivens of the Having it A.L.L. podcast joins me today to discuss this very thing.
If your partner's family is against you and your partner sides with them, what do you do? When you can't feel safe in your own relationship because your partner's priority is his or her own family, you may have some hard choices to make. An emotionally intelligent conversation between Matthew Bivens and I on this special episode of The Overwhelmed Brain.
When you find out a lie that your partner has been holding on to for months or years, where does that leave the relationship? What if it's a minor lie and your relationship has been going great? Or what if it's a massive lie that you cannot get past? Matthew Bivens of the Having it A.L.L. podcast joins me to answer an email on this very subject in this special mid-week episode of TOB.

Matthew is a super authentic and inspiring entrepreneur and podcaster and we are very fortunate to have him on the show this week. His podcast called ‘Having It A.L.L.' (which stands for Abundant, Loving, Life) explores our beliefs, ideas, and mindsets on life and how those influence how we experience life as a whole. For Matthew, “having it all” is a mindset; it's how he approaches life. He didn't always have this outlook, though. As a child he dealt with lots of anger, frustration and sadness. He kept quiet in his emotional moments and never expressed outwardly his emotions, even his mother couldn't pry his true feelings out of him. He continued to suppress his emotions through high school and college, but once he graduated, these feelings negatively affected the relationships he had. There are three buckets of relationships in life; relationships to self, to life and to others. Matthew was suffering in all three. In 2013 he was introduced to Day Adeogba, creator of the YourDay Balance Game (YDBG). This was a pivotal moment in Matthew's journey to living a better life. This is where his healing started, where he learned to question the actions he was taking each day and to determine if they were leading him down the right path. Matthew finally had to deal with unnoticed bad scripting and negative beliefs that plagued him his entire life. A key one was, “If my partner wasn't happy, I couldn't be happy.” He was tying his emotional happiness to that of his girlfriend at the time. He wore this badge proudly, like he was being true to his love of her. But he eventually realized that this made things tougher on her as now she was responsible for her happiness and his as well. One thing that Matthew uses daily to help him be more authentic, happy and transparent is the Balance Chart he learned from YDBG. Balance is an acronym for 7 building blocks to living a healthy life: breath, aqua, lengthening, anaerobic, nutrition, cleansing and energize. Through daily habit building within each of these building blocks, you're committing to develop transparency and integrity of doing what you say you're going to do. One of th benefits of YDBG is that it helps you to change your life for the better through a public accountability system. Each day you tell the group what you're going to accomplish and the habits you're going to work through and everyone encourages each other. They also see when you fail in your accepted tasks and this helps to spur you to action. One habit that Matthew has taken up is nightly journaling. In his journal he writes about two very specific topics: Gratitude – he writes about the people in his life that he's grateful for Magic – this is what he considers the ability to influence yourself, others and your own life in a powerful way “What you put your mind on you create.” With this idea in mind, Matthew has created his own Mission Statement in life. This mission statement is what he's playing for in life, it acts as a north star for him as it helps him to live up to his top values in life which are: Joy Authenticity Family Character Love Fun Wisdom Many people know their why in life, but Matthew believes that writing it down as a mission statement causes things to begin shift for you in life. The mission statement goes from a thought in your mind to being a concrete thing in written form. Then you memorize it and lastly begin internalizing it. As you progress through this process different things will happen and even more shifts in your life and mindset will occur as a result. This was a great moment in our chat for me, because I realized that while I'm clear on my beliefs, I hadn't revisited my mission statement in awhile. For Matthew, I learned that being bold starts when you're willing to define what is living your greatest life and being the greatest version of yourself. Once you have this, you go into action to bring these things to life. SOME QUESTIONS I ASK: What does having it all mean for him? Have there been a couple of impactful guests that he's learned a lot from? Did he have an obstacle to overcome on his path to sharing his journey with others? What are some of the habits Matthew uses that allow him to be a more authentic, happy and transparent person? Did this “healing journey” that he embarked on start by himself or together with his wife? IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why transparency and authenticity in your word and actions is so important How we can “try on” habits like a pair of jeans, discarding the ones that don't fit us so well How we create all the experiences we have The difference between your spouse being a partner or a project in your life Plus much more… DON'T STOP HERE… Learn more about Matthew: Website Having It A.L.L Podcast: Website ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: Your Day Balance Game: Website Esther Perel on the School of Greatness Podcast: Listen
Having It ALL: Conversations about living an Abundant Loving Life
Welcome to “Having It A.L.L.”! This podcast is about exploring the question “Can we really ‘have it all’ in life?” My name is Matthew Bivens, and I believe that having it all means viewing life through a lens of abundance and love. It’s not about “having” anything, but instead about how we experience ourselves, other people, and life itself. In this podcast, my guests and I explore what “having it all” and creating your ideal life, actually look like. We talk about the joy and contentment when you feel like you have it all (however you define it), and we also talk about the profound and uncomfortable situations that you frequently must go through to create that ideal life.
