Episode 170: Dr. Sarah Buckley - Oxytocin, Hormonal Gaps & Better Birth Outcomes

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 21 Jun 2023 00:00:00 -0400

In this eye-opening episode, Monica is joined by Dr. Sarah Buckley, a renowned GP and academic researcher specializing in oxytocin and maternal care. Together, they dive deep into the fascinating world of childbirth, sharing Sarah’s expertise on the physiological and emotional aspects of labor and birth, making for an essential listen for expectant mothers, their partners, and those supporting them.

Sarah sheds light on the biological transformation of women’s bodies in pregnancy and birth. She emphasizes the importance of creating a safe, secure, and unobserved environment during labor to allow the birthing process to unfold. She points to the necessity of understanding that any interventions can create hormonal gaps in the essential feedback loop of hormones that are registered by the mother’s relationship between the brain and her womb and her ability to then bond with her baby, nurse, and more.

Throughout their conversation, you’ll learn about the influence of oxytocin, specifically in labor, and how women can make an informed choice about their birth experiences only when they know and have the proper information. Sarah explains the hormonal gaps that can be created by interventions like epidural use, and c-sections and speaks to how women can close these gaps with knowledge.

This episode challenges the current intervention-heavy focus in modern maternity care and encourages understanding alternative methods like home births, midwifery care, and doulas and why these might be important to consider.

The role of oxytocin in childbirth

This episode is positively filled with wisdom and beauty. Goddess Calling - Healing Through Feminine Archetypes.

Listening to Dale Allen share her insights is like listening to a master storyteller at work. I’ve rarely experienced a woman so connected to her self-expression while so effortlessly integrated with her body.

While you can’t see her, you might be able to imagine her moving and flowing throughout this interview, connecting to all of us as we listen. She tells us of her discovery of the Goddess, about how she came to know the healing power of archetypes, and her belief that now is the time for us to remember the Divine Feminine.

In this episode, we discuss:

Why does the term GODDESS make some of us uncomfortable?
What is our core wound, and why do we all have one?
How can archetypes help us to heal?
How is the GODDESS related to the Return of The Divine Feminine?
How can we listen for the GODDESS CALLING?
Why now? Why is the feminine the missing piece for what ails us as humans/society?
Why a BREAKDOWN is needed for a BREAKTHROUGH.
Why Women?
Why reclaiming emotion is a critical piece of our inner peace.

Dale Allen was honored to present to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, her one-woman show, In Our Right Minds™, Guiding Women to Their Strength as Leaders, Leading Men to Strength Without Armor. The Vice President of the Commission invited her to return the following year for an encore. She has brought her talents to scores of audiences at universities, theaters, expos, and workshops across the U.S. and Canada and from Kauai to Dubai. Described as having the energy of “a Cape Canaveral lift-off,” she thoroughly engages and inspires her audience, ranging from highly educated corporate leaders to teenage girls seeking their place in the world.

Dale Allen is a veteran of corporate, commercial communications. Her extensive resume includes hundreds of voice-over, on-camera, and live presentation projects. Some of the most quality-conscious companies, such as BMW, Canon, and MasterCard, among others, have chosen her to represent their brands. Her energy and enthusiasm, sincerity, and strength infuse her presentations and impact audiences.

Dale's Opening Prayer:

“Our mother who art within us, each breath brings us to you. Thy wisdom come, thy will be done, as we honor your presence within us. Each day, you give us all that we need. Your abundance calls us to give and receive all that is loving and pleasurable. You are the courage that moves us to be true to ourselves, and we act with grace and power. We relax into your cycles of birth, growth, death, renewal out of the womb, the darkness, the void comes new life, where you are the mother of all things. Your body is the sacred earth and our bodies. Your love nurtures and unites us all now and forevermore."

Amen.

Episode 69: Alexis Artin - Transforming Women

Monica Rodgers | Revelation Media LLC — Wed, 07 Apr 2021 00:00:00 -0400

I love that magical moment when I'm diving into depths of conversation on a topic I'm passionate about only to discoer kindship with a likeminded sister. Meeting Alexis was like hanging out with someone I've known forever.

As seen in FOX, Thrive Global, Entertainment Tonight, and more, Alexis Artin is a leading Success Coach, international speaker, a writer trained in neuro-linguistic programming, and a master embodiment teacher—fully immersed in the DeMartini Method.

Having spent the past two decades propelling people towards their personal and professional best, Alexis is a woman transforming women. After working with many A-list celebrities across the board, in television and film, Alexis transitioned her passion and skillset for fostering potential and obtaining results in the world of self-development and transformation. She worked side-by-side with many of the most revered thought leaders bringing personal growth to the global stage. Alexis was the driving force behind expanding one of the largest and most respected female empowerment companies, which inspired her to channel her expertise into creating a coaching practice serving clients worldwide.

Alexis teaches others to embrace their knowing, connecting mind, body, heart, and soul. Her powerful coaching gives her clients true and lasting transformation from the inside out. An ICF-certified professional coach and Energy Leadership Master Practitioner, Alexis is also co-founder of FreeBody™ Practice and a hypnotherapist.

In studying with Dr. John Demartini, one concept he teaches is the paradoxical nature of the soul and the body as complementary opposites. That the soul chose the body to have an embodied experience, but the body is like an animal operating at a base level.
The goal is to integrate our “opposites,” our soul and body, by being present and in alignment with both, and tapping into and re-membering is a constant practice.
Our bodies are designed to tell us when we are not in alignment - and once cued, we can reconnect.
The breath is a tool, but the mind and the heart are the bridge between the body and the soul. They will align us, or they will throw us out of alignment.
When we are very young most of our programming is set because when we don't have resources, we are powerless, and we are then thrust into a world where we have to live by the values of the people caring for us.
Empowerment is about choice, period. Empowerment is about our ability to choose at any given moment.
Awareness is our superpower.
Habitual change happens in 21 days. It’s about where we've been asleep in our lives and where we want to awaken. It is being in the practice of the inquiry and at peace in our lives through the body.
