Adaptive Parenting with Tahnee McCrossin Part 1

Adaptive Parenting with Tahnee McCrossin Part 1

Tahnee and I are back at it again discussing our experience in becoming new parents. After the huge success of our last 2 part series, we have been inundated with requests for a follow-up, and so here we are with an 8&1/2 month old bubba sharing all we've learn and felt since last time. There are many gems in this chat around physical health, however, the bulk of the conversation lies in the juicy psychology of making the mental and emotional shift to being parents. This has been by far the greatest aspect of our journey as new parents and we're just grateful to have an opportunity to reflect upon it.

Part 2 Pregnancy Prep and Our Childbearing Year with Tahnee McCrossin

The mammoth episode many of you have been waiting for. This is part 2 of our childbearing series, and the one where Tahnee and myself dive deep into the practices, philosophy, diet, herbalism and more that went in to creating the year in which Tahnee was childbearing little Aiya. This podcast was recorded during the first week of the bubba's life, so the sharing experience of the birth is fresh; something Tahnee was wishing to be able to infuse into this intimate sharing of how she chose to approach nourishing her body during pregnancy.

Natural Birthing with Sheryl Sidery

Delving into the birthing realms this week with the wonderful Sheryl Sidery. Sheryl has been practicing midwifery since 1985. The experience of her first birth lead her into this beautiful line of work. She felt alone and unsupported. She felt that no one was aware of what an enormous life changing experience becoming a mother is, and so she became a midwife. She wanted to be truly “with woman” as she embarks on motherhood – feeling strong, confident, transformed and joyful. For her, that’s what midwifery is all about. Her primary philosophy is that pregnancy and birth is a period of great transformation, one that is necessary for parenting. She finds that having one-to-one midwifery care throughout pregnancy, birth and early parenting provides the best start to life with a newborn.
