170: Helping Women to Connect with Their Bodies Through Every Phase of Pregnancy with Jill Miller, Founder of Roll Model Mama Aug 12, 2018

Show notes

What type of self-care are you doing during your pregnancy?

How about self-massage to help you connect with your body and support it through all the changes it’s experiencing?

Today we have a very special guest joining us on the podcast. Jill Miller, founder of Roll Model Mama, a program that takes pregnant women through self-guided techniques for alleviating pre- and postnatal discomfort. The 21st century pregnancy can put a lot of stress and strain on the body. Jill wanted to create an experience that helped women focus on posture, breathing exercises, whole body movements and restorative self-massage.

We chat with Jill about some of her own journey of creating a healthy relationship with her body, from years of yoga to experiencing eating disorders and feeling disconnected from her body. She says, “I was living in a body that I didn’t like.

Through her study of anatomy, fitness and self-awareness, she’s now inspiring and supporting other women and mamas through her work.

169: HOME BIRTH STORY - When Your Water Breaks 3 Days Before Labor Starts with Jenna Lehr Aug 08, 2018

Show notes

For those mamas who experienced their waters breaking - how long did it take for labor to begin after that?

Well in the case of today’s guest, Jenna Lehr, her water broke on a Tuesday, and her baby was born that Saturday.

What we love about this detail is the opportunity it provides to normalize all the unique aspects of every woman’s body, baby and birth itself. Sometimes waters break and it takes a while (or days) for active labor to begin). Sometimes the waters break in the middle of labor. Sometimes during delivery. Sometimes they break multiple times. And sometimes they don’t break!

In this birth story we get to hear how Jenna and her husband Jason planned for their home birth. It evolved from knowing nothing about birth to watching “The Business of Being Born” and seeking more information to having preconception appointments to talk about what birth could be and look like.

We also talk about dealing with the doubt that can creep in - the pressure, stress and emotion that pops up and tests your conviction. And how her husband Jason was super involved and supportive in the whole process.
