94: The Teeny Tiny Shifts and Changes in the Nervous System That Your Body Builds On

Noticing our body’s level of coherence and vibrating with the rightness of our being brings even more trust and healing. In this podcast, I talk about the things you can notice that your body does to tell you that healing is happening. When you notice these, you can develop your body trust and boost your innate healing.

The nervous system builds upon this to develop body trust and innate healing, the experience that you can trust that your body innately knows its way and allow it to lead. This can also help when you feel stuck or have that thought that nothing’s changing in your life or your healing process, for when you feel down on yourself or overwhelmed.

Look for teeny tiny things that are already happening and transforming to support you.

93: Between Worlds: Birth Photography and the Power of Imagery With Chinelle Rojas, Knowing Our Birthing Options Can Save Lives

“A world where our little pebble of documenting births can make waves on the mortality rate of mothers across the country or the world. How amazing would that be?” ~ Chinelle Rojas

Chinelle brings awareness to birthing options that can save lives, especially women of color through her intimate, raw, tender, powerful, and revealing photography. She tells a story of women in their goddess selves and “between worlds” with their babies and families, capturing the powerful moment of life coming into the world.

Chinelle’s eye for honesty in her photographs is inspiring and unearthing silenced or quieted areas of our humanity into conversation through images. In this podcast, she candidly speaks about her own birthing experiences and stories of being witness to the profound process of birthing. She shared how her curiosity of how slave women birthed lead to her creating provocative photographs that were sparse or missing in her Google search and how she is able to heal her ancestors.

Statistically, black women in the United States have a mortality rate of 3–4 times higher than white women, and Chinelle believes that one of the major reasons is lack of representation and WOC in the birth community and the visibility of different options available. That’s why she created The Melanated Birth - to offer just that.

From this down-to-earth wife, mom, advocate, logo designer, and birth photographer and videographer currently located in Tampa, Florida, you will learn why diversity in the birth world is greatly needed and be reminded of the reality and magic of birthing.
