After a long hiatus, or in other words – pregnancy, birth and new motherhood –  our Sensitive Matters podcast is finally back! We begin this new chapter with a unique episode: a heart-to-heart conversation with my best friend Emily Kuser. Emily is a yoga and embodiment teacher who currently lives in Bali and had a baby two months before my daughter Jaya Ariel was born. In this podcast episode, we discuss our shared journey of pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. We reflect on the experience of being pregnant at the same time and raising our daughters just two months apart. We dive deep into the process of unlearning myths and challenging societal narratives about pregnancy and birth, how living in Bali influences our choices and how it has shaped our approach to motherhood and personal healing. The conversation touches on themes of independence, grief, and the importance of cycle awareness and feminine wisdom. We share ways on living healthily and treating our bodies, we tap into the question of whether yoga is still good for women, and share our prayers for our own daughters. It is a juicy first episode of the season that taps into the importance of ancestral healing, choices that go against societal norms, and the power of the postpartum period. We reflect on the unlearnings and transformations we have experienced during pregnancy and how it has shaped their lives moving forward. So - get ready for this slightly unusual episode as it is simply a conversation between two best friends in my bedroom while our babies were sleeping. Join us as we share our dreams, fears, prayers and insights on this journey of motherhood and simply being alive in these times. We truly hope you enjoy this episode.
