My Vulnerable Voice podcast

23:12

In this episode recorded with Katie Hickey back in 2022 for Katie's podcast I talk about my experience of planning to have a home birth after two previous emergency caesareans. I talk through my own journey of navigating the system, unlearning and letting go of trauma using various fear release and other techniques. I also talk about how this birth affected me and started my journey as a birth worker and how I have used my own experience and tools to work with my clients for the last 10 years as a doula and coach.

Erica Hoke is the infertile mother of 4 boys, coach, author, publisher and course creator. All her pregnancies came after the age of 35 and after being told that she had a less than 1% chance of conceiving. After struggling for years with endometriosis, uterine fibroids, PCOS, thyroid disease, factor 5 Leiden and MTHFR, she was unable and unwilling to participate in traditional IVF or IUI methods and set off to get to the bottom of her infertility issues via continual changes to her diet and lifestyle and traditional Chinese medicine. Now she fiercely shares her story and the stories of others as a means to give hope to those still on the path to creating the family of their dreams. Empowering infertility patients by creating a standard of care and testing path through which to collaborate and coordinate with their doctors has become her mission. This approach allows the patients to systematically address and remove all obstacles before pursuing invasive and expensive IUI and IVF treatments. Erica mentors’ clients through the infertility process via a free support group, group coaching, courses to address diet, toxins and lifestyle that affect infertility, and one on one coaching. https://ericahoke.com/ @infertilemomof4 https://attractwell.com/EricaHoke/page/accelerateyourfertility Support the show…

Sherisse Bisram - Letting Go Of Toxic Masculinity and Embracing The Feminine 54:16

acum 2 years54:16

54:16

Sherisse is the embodiment of everything she stands for authentic strength, loyalty and empowerment. Although, the journey to get to there did not come easy. Growing up in a volatile household and as a woman of colour in a predominantly white area added understandable hardships and like all young women, Sherisse faced unwanted attention. In addition, she was undermined by society for being outspoken in her opinion rather than playing to the expected norm of being “seen and not heard”. Understandably she was forced to build resilience, and as a result, at 23 she noticed that she had difficulty showing vulnerability and emotions. Sherisse realised that this was not a healthy way to live, with this in mind, she decided to embark upon her own journey of self discovery. Combining her self evolution, education and life experiences, Sherisse has gained tools that have helped her to release the pain of her past, understand and conceptualise her emotions and regain true authentic strength. These tools, which consist of meditation and mindset work, journaling and mindful movement have shaped her into the empowered confident woman she is today. These practices have had a tremendous impact in her life. Sherisse believes by sharing these tools with others with the incorporation of dance, that she will in turn, help them become the best versions of themselves. @sherisse_bisram (IG + Tiktok) www.sherissebisram.com Support the show…
