A special offering from our hearts to yours. This season’s mini episodes are a 5-part collaboration with Marlies Verschoor, a self-care guide from the Netherlands whose mission is to support people on their path to self-love and connection. Each week Marlies and Indigo will explore how mothers can better care for themselves through loving self-connection. Each mini episode will offer a heart point, a self-share, a world share, a self-care strategy and a meditation.
This week’s offerings: Heart Point: Women around the world are birthing alongside me
Self Share: Baby and mum are a team ~ image you’re held whilst going through birth. Birth is a natural phenomenon and at the same time a magical one! How to have connected conversations during conception/pregnancy.
World Share: Women of the community birth together AND men need to come into the field. Men have to relearn the power of birth and the baby being born vaginally as an act of magic not as something to be ‘disgusted by’.
Strategy of self-care: Record affirmations in the voice of someone you love to support you through your pregnancy/birth.
Meditation: Women around the world are birthing alongside me
