Show notes

Lisa’s Midwife, Yuen from TLC Midwifery, talks about birth in the most empowering and refreshing way — leaving fear and judgment behind no matter how and where you choose to give birth.

Yuen Spills:

- What midwifery is and what it isn’t

- The difference between a midwife and a doula

- How doctors and midwives can work together

- The history of birth and how birthing technology has pros and cons

- Birth trauma: what it is, and how we can prevent it with education

- Holistic ways we can prepare the body for birth without medical intervention

- Yuen’s own birth experience that didn’t go as planned

- Why an epidural can be helpful from a holistic perspective

- White coat syndrome: how to reclaim your voice when it comes to your health

- The importance of feeling safe when going into labor

- What “high-risk” means, and the implications for having a home birth

… and more!

A Mom’s Alternative Fight Against Stage 4 Cancer ft. Margaret Elenis Feb 10, 2023

Show notes

Disclaimer: The information in this podcast is for information purposes only- it's not intended to substitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Margaret Elenis is a mom and business owner fighting stage 4 cancer. She was first diagnosed at age 28, putting herself into remission without the use of drugs. But once it came back, it was time to take a more integrative approach. She’s incredibly connected to her intuition, her voice, and looks fear dead in the face as she takes an untraditional path to heal. She shares the raw reality of doctors refusing to work with her, not having familial support of her choices, and what it’s like to juggle being sick with all the other hats she wears.

In this episode Margaret spills:

What inspires her to keep going

Her alternative- not socially accepted- approach to fighting cancer
Her reasoning to refuse mastectomies
The effect of pregnancy on the return of her cancer and why it’s a choice she’d make a 1000 times over.
How to ask questions and be confident when speaking to doctors
What it’s like to be “high risk” and be denied care by doctors
The small things that keep her going each day
