In episode 18 of the Birth Like a Mammal™ podcast, Lindsay sits down with Jessica Olson of Wildly Awakened Motherhood. Jessica is an embodied birth coach, focused on supporting women find healing and safety within their bodies, and home, before birth. She is a yoga practitioner, intuitive nutritionist, radical birth keeper graduate, and training in herbalism.
Jessica's approach to pregnancy, birth, and Motherhood is built on intuition, intention, and embodiment. She shares her own journey in discovering the aforementioned things after obstetrics derailed her first baby's birth. Jessica's insight in this conversation is deeply intellectual and intuitive.
Starting about 40 minutes into this episode, get rid of all distractions and stop what you are doing and really listen to Jessica's words. She dives deep into how our body stores and holds trauma, and how that affects us in life and birth. She makes some incredible connections between energy works and how we approach birth.
Key Takeaways:
1. The awareness we hold regarding our own body's knowledge and capabilities during pregnancy and birth will vastly affect our baby's birth.
2. The prevalence of "hero-ing" care providers in the system of obstetrics and how that affects women during labor and birth.
3. The Drama Triangle - what it is and how it works.
4. The labels we place on ourselves as women and Mothers.
5. What disassociation is and why we do it - how this applies to labor, birth, and Motherhood.
Notable Quotes:
“If you are an anxious person, if you are at home, and in your mind you are worrying about all the things that can go wrong, it’s going to derail your birth.”
“It’s only been in the last few hundred years that this idea of birth being "dirty" or "dangerous" has really been used to bring women into hospitals, it’s really been such a coercive system.”
“The idea that we need all these men to "hero" women....'you can’t do it by yourself, we are going to put you down with gas and pull your baby out'...it’s crazy to me.”
“The way our body experiences trauma isn’t just in the mind, our body holds it within our energetic system, within our fascia.”
“One of the parallel ideas is how we always try to escape the pain of birth rather than embracing the process of birth and where that pain is blocking you. We often try to escape our bodies where we feel uncomfortable.”
