Fertility, Womb Healing & The Power of Listening to Your Body with Jessica of SoulFire Doula

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 08:03:00 GMT

How to Reconnect With Your Body When You Don't Trust It Anymore

If you've ever felt disconnected from your body, frustrated by your cycle, or like you're constantly trying to "fix" yourself, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with womb energy healer, birth doula and yoga teacher Jessica Botello to explore the connection between our physical bodies, emotional wellbeing and the stories we carry as women.

We talk about why so many women struggle to trust their bodies, particularly during fertility challenges, and how practices such as yoga, meditation, energy healing and simple self-awareness can help us reconnect with ourselves.

Jessica shares her perspective on womb healing, what it means, how emotions can become stored in the body, and why creating space to listen to ourselves may be one of the most powerful things we can do.

Whether you're trying to conceive, navigating pregnancy, moving through a difficult season, or simply looking to build a healthier relationship with your body, this episode offers a gentle invitation to slow down and reconnect.

In this episode we discuss:

✨ What womb healing actually is

✨ The connection between the womb, emotions and the body

✨ Why so many women struggle to trust themselves

✨ The impact of guilt, shame, perfectionism and self-blame

✨ Fertility challenges and body resentment

✨ How yoga can help rebuild trust in your body

✨ The role of intuition in women's health

✨ Women's circles, community and healing

✨ Energy healing explained

✨ Why awareness is the first step towards healing

✨ A simple heart-and-womb meditation to try at home

✨ Learning to support yourself with compassion instead of criticism

✨ How presence can help us navigate both grief and joy

Jessica's Simple Practice

Jessica shares a beautiful practice for women who are feeling disconnected from their bodies:

Place one hand on your heart and one hand on your womb space.

Breathe slowly.

Listen.

Release judgement.

Offer yourself the same compassion you would give a hurt puppy, child or loved one.

Sometimes healing begins with simply being present with yourself.

Pregnancy After Miscarriage: Holding Hope Through Fear with Emma from Becoming Mama Yoga

Thu, 09 Jul 2026 08:00:00 GMT

Pregnancy after miscarriage can feel like carrying both hope and heartbreak at the same time.

In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Emma from Becoming Mama Yoga to talk about recurrent pregnancy loss, navigating pregnancy after miscarriage, and finding ways to hold onto hope when fear feels overwhelming.

Emma shares her experience of having four miscarriages between the births of her children, the support she wishes had existed, and how yoga, mindfulness and maternal mental health support became anchors through grief.

If you've experienced pregnancy loss yourself, please know this conversation was recorded with you in mind. We hope it helps you feel seen, supported and a little less alone.

In This Episode We Discuss:

• The powerful reminder that you can move towards love, even when fear is present

• Challenging anxious thoughts without forcing positivity

• What miscarriage actually looks like physically and why so many women feel unprepared

• When to seek medical support and where to find help

• The importance of maternal mental health specialists

• Using yoga and mindfulness as tools for anxiety, grief and depression

• The isolation of pregnancy loss and how to support someone who is grieving

• Why we need more open conversations and better research around recurrent miscarriage

• The role of preconception care after loss

Memorable Quotes

"You can live in love or fear and not both."

"It didn't save any of my babies to be fearful."

"It is not your fault."

Resources Mentioned

Emma from Becoming Mama Yoga offers supportive resources for women navigating miscarriage:

#24 What Women's Health Really Means Beyond Diet and Exercise | Hormones, Energy & Wellbeing in Your 30s

What Women's Health Really Means Beyond Diet and Exercise | Hormones, Energy & Wellbeing in Your 30s

When you think about being healthy, what comes to mind?

For many women, health has become synonymous with weight loss, appearance, fitness goals and looking a certain way. But what if true health has far less to do with how you look and far more to do with how you feel?

In this episode of The 30-Something Shift Podcast, we're exploring a different definition of women's health—one that goes beyond diet culture, aesthetics and the pressure to constantly optimise ourselves.

We'll talk about why so many women are exhausted, stressed and disconnected from their bodies despite doing "all the right things," and why energy, hormones, mental health and emotional wellbeing deserve to be at the centre of the conversation.

In this episode, you'll learn:

✨ Why women's health is about more than weight loss and appearance

✨ The connection between hormones, energy, mood and overall wellbeing

✨ Why painful periods, PMS, fatigue and burnout shouldn't be ignored

✨ How stress and mental health impact physical health

✨ What changes many women notice in their 30s and why they matter

✨ How to build a healthier relationship with your body

✨ A new way to think about health that prioritises wellbeing over aesthetics

If you've ever felt frustrated by wellness advice that focuses only on how your body looks, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on what it means to truly feel healthy.

Topics covered: women's health, hormone health, menstrual cycle health, energy levels, mental wellbeing, stress management, PMS, burnout, healthy habits, cycle awareness, wellness in your 30s, body image, holistic health, yoga for wellbeing.

#12 Luteal Phase: PMS Symptoms & Preparing for your Period

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 09:02:00 GMT

#12 Luteal phase: PMS Symptoms & preparing for your period

✨ Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

Episode Summary

In the final episode of the Flow With Your Cycle mini-series, we explore the luteal phase — your inner autumn. This is the longest phase of the menstrual cycle and often the most misunderstood. Rising progesterone prepares the body for possible pregnancy, and when that drops, PMS symptoms may appear.

This episode helps you understand the emotional, physical, and energetic shifts of this phase and teaches you how to support yourself with grounding practices, gentle yoga, and self-compassion.

✅ What We Cover in This Episode

- What happens during the luteal phase

#8 Facing Your Fears Isn’t Just for Halloween—Here’s How to Build Real Courage (Even When You're Scared)

Sun, 09 Nov 2025 17:22:11 GMT

✨ Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

Happy Halloween! In a Halloween themed episode, Liv explores the truth about fear — why it shows up, why we avoid it, and how courage is something you build, not something you're magically born with. This conversation is for any woman who feels stuck, scared, or waiting for the right moment to feel “ready.” Spoiler: courage doesn’t appear before you act. It appears because you act.

You’ll learn how to understand your fears, stop avoiding the things that matter, and take simple steps that build real, sustainable confidence.

✅ In This Episode You’ll Learn:

- Why fear isn’t the enemy and how avoidance keeps you stuck far more than fear itself.
- What courage actually is — and why it has nothing to do with feeling confident.
- Three simple, actionable ways to build courage today, even if you’re scared or doubting yourself.

🔍 Episode Highlights:

- Fear as a signal of growth rather than a sign to stop.
- The myth that courageous people “feel brave” before they act.
- How tiny steps compound into real, sustainable confidence.
- A powerful reminder: if your voice shakes, take the step anyway.

#7 Your Period is trying to tell you something- how to listen to your menstrual cycle & manage your period symptoms

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 11:53:43 GMT

✨ Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode:

In this episode, Liv dives into the menstrual phase of the menstrual cycle — the part of your month where you’re bleeding — and explores what your body is trying to communicate through your period symptoms, energy levels, and emotions. Whether your menstrual cycle is regular or still a work in progress, your bleed provides powerful insight into your menstrual cycle hormones, your emotional health, and how well you're working with your natural rhythm.

This conversation helps you understand the menstrual cycle stages, what’s happening in your body during this phase, and how to stop fighting against your biology and start making your period phases work for you.

✅ In This Episode You’ll Learn:

- Why we often resent the menstrual phase of the cycle and how disconnecting from our body during this stage creates more menstrual cycle pain, exhaustion, and overwhelm.
- What your symptoms are signalling — from cramps to low mood to PMS — and how slowing down supports hormonal balance and restores your energy.
- Why understanding your menstrual cycle phases and natural hormonal shifts can help you live more aligned, calmer, and more supported each month.

🔍 Episode Highlights

- The menstrual phase as one of the most misunderstood menstrual cycle stages.
- How menstrual cycle hormones drop during your bleed and why this creates shifts in energy, mood, and physical sensations.
- Why PMS is more than “feeling moody” — and what PMS means from a body-awareness perspective.
- Why listening to your body is just as important as checking your phone notifications — especially when your cycle is giving you signs to rest.
- The emotional layer of menstruation, especially if you're tracking your fertility window, if you’re on a fertility journey
- How embracing rest and reflection during your bleed creates ease and alignment throughout the rest of your menstrual cycle phases.
