BBL 168: Pregnancy and Birth Are a Forgotten Rite of Passage

Pregnancy and birth are a beautiful, forgotten rite of passage. While there are many profound times in a woman’s life, pregnancy and birth offer an incredible opportunity for growth. I talk about why this time is so unique and how you can step into the power and vulnerability it brings to find a new, stronger aspect of yourself - and how that benefits your baby, your family, and your community for years to come.

  • Why pregnancy and birth are a rite of passage
  • The strength that the pregnancy, birth, and parenting journey bring
  • Is pregnancy more than a means to an end (ie, a healthy baby)?
  • Why pregnancy is more than just a "need to buy" checklist?
  • Ponder this: pregnancy and birth are both the most vulnerable and the most powerful times of a woman's life
  • Even when women don't initially want to see the deep significance of pregnancy and birth, they often find themselves on the other side of it with a realization that this time is profoundly important
  • Why a mother's vulnerability is glossed over... and a mother's power is taboo
  • "Women are awesome, really y'all!"
  • What it means to pay attention to your feelings and walk in that energy
  • Women remember their births FOREVER - here's why that's important
  • This isn't the only thing that defines you - but it is a time of great personal growth and exploration
