Ashley Lyon is a DONA-certified postpartum doula, yoga teacher, and the founder of Bloom Mama. Becoming a mom completely transformed her life and kick started her own self-discovery journey. She realized that there is a lack of resources and community for new moms, so she used everything she had learned to create Bloom Mama, a platform for helping other mamas who value personal development just as much as they want to grow as a mom. We talk all about the different ways postpartum can impact new moms, postpartum depression, and making sure you’re prepared for the birth of your baby and everything that comes after.We Chat About:How Ashley got into postpartum workWhere people struggle the most with comparison during pregnancyCalling out the false stories you tell yourselfHow to prepare for postpartumTaking time for real self-careResources:bloommamadoula.comBloom Mama MembershipUse code NINA to get $5 off your Bloom Mama Monthly MembershipFree Postpartum 101 ClassApp: app.mindfulmamasclub.comApp: expectful.comRead: "The Fourth Trimester"Read: "The First Forty Days"Perfect Postpartum Planning WorksheetsConnect With Me:FREE WORKBOOK - How to Intuitively Connect to Your Menstrual CycleLearn more about the Heal Your Period online programBook a Reiki SessionBook a Tarot ReadingPrivate Hormone CoachingLet’s be friends on Instagram: @nourishedwithninaHealing Hormones is a production of Crate MediaMentioned in this episode:FAM TrainingLearn how to prevent pregnancy naturally and ditch birth control without fear.

I have some very exciting news to share with you today, which was already given away in the title: I’m pregnant! It’s been hard to hold this information in, but I wanted to wait until I was 12 weeks in to start sharing the news publicly. I love that I’ll be able to share this journey with you, let you know everything that I’ve been working on, and everything I will be doing throughout the pregnancy, into postpartum, and into motherhood. I’m learning so much about hormones through this experience -- it’s like a whole new world! I can’t wait to be able to better support my fertility and pregnancy clients, and eventually move more into the world of postpartum. Today I’m going to talk about some of the ups and downs of the experience and recap what’s been going on in my life that I can finally be more open about!We Chat About:My period pain storyTweaking your diet based on your needsThe top 3 things that boosted my fertilityMy endometriosis surgeryDoing womb meditationsThe baby daddy experienceResources:My Healing Protocol For Reducing Period Pain + Optimizing FertilityPrenatal Nutrition + Real Food for Pregnancy | with Lily NicholsConnect With Me:FREE WORKBOOK - How to Intuitively Connect to Your Menstrual CycleLearn more about the Heal Your Period online programBook a Reiki SessionBook a Tarot ReadingPrivate Hormone CoachingLet’s be friends on Instagram: @nourishedwithninaHealing Hormones is a production of Crate MediaMentioned in this episode:FAM TrainingLearn how to prevent pregnancy naturally and ditch birth control without fear.

Liz Garster is the former co-host of the former Find Your Shine podcast, which we hosted together before it became solely about women's hormones. She’s multi-passionate and has an addiction to certifications—she’s a certified financial coach, certified health coach and intuitive eating coach, and nearly certified to teach yoga. All of this revolves around a desire to help people. We’ve both gone through a lot of transitions in our lives, from big moves to career and life shifts and more. We’re going to talk about how big transitions often bring about stress and can have a big effect on how our mind and body work together, how doing less is one of the best things you can do for your body, and why you need to start putting yourself first.We Chat About:Making transitions from the inside and outHow stress and change affects the bodyDoing nothing for our healthPutting yourself firstResources:lizgarster.comInstagram: @lizgarsterRead: The Yamas & Niyamas: Exploring Yoga's Ethical PracticeConnect With Me:FREE WORKBOOK - How to Intuitively Connect to Your Menstrual CycleLearn more about the Heal Your Period online programBook a Reiki SessionBook a Tarot ReadingPrivate Hormone CoachingLet’s be friends on Instagram: @nourishedwithninaHealing Hormones is a production of Crate MediaMentioned in this episode:FAM TrainingLearn how to prevent pregnancy naturally and ditch birth control without fear.

Many women don’t know that fertility awareness is an option for them. When they see their doctors about their options, they are often told that there’s no reason to get off birth control unless they’re trying to get pregnant. But as we’ve discussed on this show before, there are any number of reasons why women may be looking into other options. The fertility awareness method can give you real clarity on when you’re in your fertile window and when you’re ovulating, whether you’re avoiding pregnancy or trying to achieve it, with a success rate comparable to birth control. This can be a great option for people who are interested in avoiding pregnancy but don’t want to be on the pill, so let’s dig into how it works.We Chat About:Listening to the signs your body is giving youThe menstrual cycle patternThe varying types of cervical mucusTracking basal body temperatureResources:Read: “Taking Charge of Your Fertility”Connect With Me:FREE WORKBOOK - How to Intuitively Connect to Your Menstrual CycleLearn more about the Heal Your Period online programBook a Reiki SessionBook a Tarot ReadingPrivate Hormone CoachingLet’s be friends on Instagram: @nourishedwithninaHealing Hormones is a production of Crate MediaMentioned in this episode:FAM TrainingLearn how to prevent pregnancy naturally and ditch birth control without fear.

Dr. Cleopatra Kamperveen is a scientist and university professor who specializes in reproductive health and the transference of health from parents to children. Her personal story of growing up without a mother and feeling like she was meant to do something in her life with that experience led her to doing the work she does today as Fertility Strategist and Executive Director of the Fertility and Pregnancy Institute. Dr. Cleopatra pioneered the field of fertility biohacking and creating what she likes to call “Superbabies.” She provides fertility and pregnancy consulting to women and families nationally and internationally through her signature In Bloom programs, inner circle, and personalized, comprehensive one-on-one consulting. She’s conducted research on tens of thousands of women of all colors, ages, shapes and sizes, socioeconomic backgrounds, religions, language preferences, and professions to examine how they transmit physical health and emotional wellbeing to their children. This is not all about food and supplements—we talk a lot about the mindset shifts that need to happen in order for our bodies to be ready to conceive. We literally have the power to change the quality and the expression of the genes that we pass down to our babies!We Chat About:Why there’s so much variance in fertilityThe role of negative self talkAll about epigeneticsHow the term “infertility” is often misleadingThe importance of fertility in our overall healthWhat the Primester program entailsResources:Learn more: drcleopatra.comFree Fertility Checklist: fertilitypregnancy.orgPrimester Protocol: drcleopatra.com/protocolInstagram: @doctor_cleopatraInstagram: @fertilitypregnancyThe Primemester Protocol: drcleopatra.com/protocolConnect With Me:FREE WORKBOOK - How to Intuitively Connect to Your Menstrual CycleLearn more about the Heal Your Period online programBook a Reiki SessionBook a Tarot ReadingPrivate Hormone CoachingLet’s be friends on Instagram: @nourishedwithninaHealing Hormones is a production of Crate MediaMentioned in this episode:FAM TrainingLearn how to prevent pregnancy naturally and ditch birth control without fear.

Georgie Kovacs is the founder of Fem Power Health, which was founded after her first-hand experience with infertility. Using her personal experience and 20 years in the biopharmaceutical industry and consulting, she leads this movement to empower women who are also going through fertility challenges. With limited research dollars and women being conditioned to “grin and bear it,” both women AND doctors are in an impossible position to diagnose and treat conditions with so little information. Women deserve to know more and better information, which is why Georgie started her platform, podcast, and website.So many women are struggling with fertility challenges and it is invaluable to hear from someone who’s been there, gone through it, and come out on the other side. This is an empowering conversation about how to handle your own health journey, being your own advocate, and staying hopeful.We Chat About:Georgie’s fertility journeyBeing patient with the processBeing diagnosed with endometriosisTaking ownership of your healthcareArtificial inseminationBeing vocal about the lack of educationResources:fempower-health.cominstagram.com/fempowerhealthfempower-health.com/podcastConnect With Me:FREE WORKBOOK - How to Intuitively Connect to Your Menstrual CycleLearn more about the Heal Your Period online programBook a Reiki SessionBook a Tarot ReadingPrivate Hormone CoachingLet’s be friends on Instagram: @nourishedwithninaHealing Hormones is a production of Crate MediaMentioned in this episode:FAM TrainingLearn how to prevent pregnancy naturally and ditch birth control without fear.
