Integration/Support

This episode is a conversation with Victoria Rose – a writer, teacher, and traditional birth witness, pre- and perinatal educator, and birth consultant. 

Through her work, Victoria helps people access their birth memories, offering deep healing for individuals on the path to greater mental, emotional, and physical health.

Here’s a beautiful website excerpt highlighting her body of work. 

“Memory may be more accurately defined as not what we remember but rather what we don’t remember. Woven into the fabric of our bodies are the records of our birth and pre-birth experiences. In order to access these living archives, we must step outside our cognitive thinking-brains and merely look to the present.”

Re-visiting our own birth, in-utero, conception, and pre-conception experiences will reveal the extent to which our physical health, mental and emotional patterns, professional limitations, and ways of being in relationship are directly informed by our earliest developmental experiences.”

What I loved most about our conversation was how Victoria inspired a beautiful opportunity to enroll my parents in my healing journey. 

Over the past few months, I’ve had many conversations with my mom and dad – sometimes separately, sometimes together. I’m grateful that each has led to profound realizations and deep cathartic releases. 

I believe our parents (whether we have physical access to them or not) play such a powerful role in our journeys to greater health. 

I hope this conversation with Victoria inspires you to lean deeper into your upbringing with curiosity, compassion, and love.

This month was one of the more potent months of change, which as always, creates the most potent containers for reflection. I moved out of my home in San Diego and decided to move to Costa Rica with my beloved, got rid of 90% of my stuff, and embarked on a deep mental, emotional, and physical cleanse in preparation for an indigenous medicine ceremony in the jungles this month. 

2023 has been a crazy year for me, and one of the things I love most about my monthly reflections is that you guys get to watch the journey unfold alongside me. I never really know what I’m going to talk about each month, as the lessons and perspectives are always inspired by what’s present in the conversation. In fact, recently, the reflection episodes have been as much for myself to process all of the change that’s been happening in my life as they are to share useful perspectives. 

But with that said, I hope this episode finds you well. I hope it inspires the courage to follow your heart no matter where it takes you. I hope it inspires the courage to trust in forces unseen. I hope it inspires you to remember the home within yourself.

“Your intimate relationship is the most profound mirror for you to actually connect to that foundation of love within yourself.”

The last time I recorded a reflection episode was at the end of August – just after returning from Burning Man. As an experiment, I decided to wait a couple of months before publicly reflecting again. It’s been interesting to see the arc of change over a two-month window – proof that many shifts can happen when you move through life consciously and with vulnerability and authenticity. 

I often remind myself that I’m the common denominator in all areas of my life. How I show up in one context impacts how I show up in others. In this episode, you’ll hear how I’ve used my relationship and creativity as dojos – places to practice peeling off masks and connecting more intimately with the authentic me. I’ve also been exploring the power of surrendering to a vision bigger than myself – a practice vastly different from how I used to operate in business. These intentions became catalysts for a lot of growth, as you’ll hear in the episode. 

As always, I hope that this episode will inspire a practice of reflection in your life. Reflection can be a superpower because the more we know our authentic selves, the more we can navigate fear, manage adversity, regulate our nervous system and step into the greatest forms of love we were born to express.

“What's actually required is healing ourselves and liberating ourselves from these conditions that have kept us trapped in this old way of doing that isn't actually serving the planet, it's not serving our relationships, it's not serving our health.”
