EP70 - Egg Donor After Biological Child
Laura has two children via IVF. So what makes her story so interesting you might ask? I’m glad you did. Laura’s first child, Owen, is biologically her and her husband’s child.

I brought Laura on to the podcast because I know this is such a tough decision for so many women and families. Oftentimes, there are fea...

EP68: Alternative Therapies That Heal with Rachel Cole, LCSW
Have you ever wondered why animals, after constantly fighting to stay alive, are never traumatized? The whole animal kingdom would not be what it is today if this were the case.

Animals, after tapping into that sympathetic nervous system and initiating the fight or flight response, make their way to a safe place and discharge all of that energy that was needed to get them to safety.
