Have you ever made a decision that makes very little sense, but also makes PERFECT sense at the same time?

These are always the best, most expansive decisions.

But oftentimes, they’re the hardest to CLAIM. 

I knew I was facing a decision like this when I got a last-minute nudge to go to Glacier National Park for our 17th wedding anniversary.

And in today’s episode, I share how I decided what to do and everything that happened next.

Birth today in the US is a pretty corrupted experience. How often does it go the way mom wants? The way baby wants?

This conversation is a sacred one. Birth is where it all starts.

Every single one of us has a birth story.

In other words, the way we came into the world IS significant.

In today’s episode, I sit down with FEM Nicole Safford, RN, BCP2, BCP3, and we go deep into birth trauma.

As you know, I’m an avid reader, rabbit hole deep-diver and researcher. 

I want to know the truth. Always. 

And one of my gifts is my built-in bullshit detector. My body quickly responds to and has resonance with truth and alignment, knowing when false narratives, pretty lies or fear mongering are at play.

So when I started hearing and seeing highly respected and adored natural health influencers (women who I shared many similar h...

    I first met Laurel six years ago when she found me through a Facebook post and scheduled our call.

    Laurel had received a depressing prognosis and was in a debilitated state due to injuries she suffered in a car accident. 

    But she refused to accept that healing was impossible for her.

    Her decision to get on a call with me and join Fiercely Empowered Mama changed everything. 

    And that first step she took made the impossible, possible...

      Ruthie's Table 4

      For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
