Navigating expectations for returning to intimacy after vaginal tearing

So you had some tearing during birth... It happens. But how does this impact our journey with intimacy? How can we manage expectations for sex from our partners, and what are some of the safety concerns we need to consider before returning to penetration. 

I share from my experience of this journey.

3 Reasons to Ditch the Clothes for Postpartum

3 Reasons to Ditch the Clothes for Postpartum

Sweet tiny onesies make your mama heart flutter, so why ditch the clothes?

For these three reasons:
Bonding, Boundaries and Back to Basics. 

With both my babies I opted for an extended postpartum time of wearing nothing but housecoats and diapers.  In this episode I talk about my reasons why, and how a traditional 40 day postpartum period is supported by staying naked with your baby.

Letting go of clock time as a sanity saving concept for new parents

Letting go of clock time as a sanity saving concept for new parents

I've been asked so many times... How many times a night is he getting up? Are you getting any sleep? How often are you waking out? Are you sleeping for more than an hour at a time? To which I respond... I don't know. I suppose I could count dirty diapers. I suppose I could find a clock and put it in my room and look at it anxiously every time my baby wakes up. He only slept for 20 minutes. He only slept for half an hour. He only slept for three hours. He only slept for five hours. But why bring myself into anxiety and anxiousness over how much sleep I have or haven't gotten. I could do these things. But why?

Breastfeeding is lazy, smart and biologically awesome

Breastfeeding is lazy, smart and biologically awesome

Breastfeeding is actually less work than bottle feeding. It's for the lazy mom and it's okay to be a lazy mom. Lazy has a really bad connotation but we could also use the words effective mom, natural mom, energy wise mom. You know, the the traditional mom, the physiological mom. Breasts are incredible. That they filter our own nutrition for creating optimal baby food is extra incredible. So I just want to sort of lay this down... it's okay to take the easy route.

The stages of sensation of early labour

The stages of sensation of early labour

The very first step in the cascade of interventions is the pregnancy test. That is if you're not going the IVF route, in which case there's a whole cascade of interventions there. But assuming you're conceiving naturally, the question becomes, when do I take a pregnancy test?

Well, I would challenge you and say, do you actually need to take a pregnancy test? Or can you find the space of surrender right at the very beginning of your pregnancy and allow your body to show you its own innate wisdom, with its own signs and symptoms that come from within that you're pregnant? The pregnancy test is an external source of validation to tell us something that often we already know. If we simply wait in peaceful observation of our body, with time it will become very clear that we're pregnant or not.

The pregnancy test as the first intervention in the “cascade of interventions”

The pregnancy test as the first intervention in the “cascade of interventions”

The very first step in the cascade of interventions is the pregnancy test. That is if you're not going the IVF route, in which case there's a whole cascade of interventions there. But assuming you're conceiving naturally, the question becomes, when do I take a pregnancy test? 

Well, I would challenge you and say, do you actually need to take a pregnancy test? Or can you find the space of surrender right at the very beginning of your pregnancy and allow your body to show you its own innate wisdom, with its own signs and symptoms that come from within that you're pregnant? The pregnancy test is an external source of validation to tell us something that often we already know. If we simply wait in peaceful observation of our body, with time it will become very clear that we're pregnant or not.

Are you choosing a "romantic" or "functional" relationship? - Elena Harder-Rekshan - Solo Podcast

We want to be in deep connection with each other.  We want to have a vivid sex life.  But parenthood and pregnancy can easily get in the way of our experience in pleasure with our partner. Kids are the best excuse ever.  Your intimacy will thrive when your relationship thrives. 


What other aspects of your relationship needs work first? 

What are your stories about sex after baby?
What are your stories about marriage and parenthood? 

(sorry in advance for too many sniffles and yawning in this one... I'm just human. lol)

What moldy tomatoes can teach us about how to keep our lungs healthy - Quorum sensing and essential oils as medicine. - Elena Harder-Rekshan - Solo

When a box of fruit goes bad, usually at the beginning it's just ONE that goes off.  The rest seem to be fine.  What a mouldy tray of tomatoes can teach us about how to keep our lungs healthy. The basics of quorum sensing (how the mould takes over the whole tray) and how essential oils can prevent that.  Also a walkthrough of how to use oils and steam to help our body heal and prevent larger infections in the lungs.

What kind of baby are you calling in - Elena Harder - Solo

What kind of baby are you calling in - Elena Harder - Solo

I hear so many women say “that’s the kind of birth my baby wanted” as an explanation or reason for having had a traumatic birth. I’m here to call our consciousness higher and say we called in our babies.. what kind of baby and birth did you ask for? Was it an unconscious conception? Then your chances of unconscious/undesired birth outcomes may be higher (unless you do the work in pregnancy to resolve this) which is what pregnancy is for!

About Elena Harder

Elena Harder is on a mission to Nourish Mothers and create Bulletproof Moms. She started her awakening journey in 2010. Even with a challenging hospital birth, an abusive relationship, 7 years spent in crippling postpartum depression, self loathing and people pleasing. She never gave up hope on finding a way through. Her search for “mental health” led Elena to study Mindfulness, Spirituality, NLP, Theta Healing, Tantra, Optimal Nutrition, and Intermittent Fasting to find a way to finally recover her mind and joyful soul.

Now she works with other mothers to help them master the tools and skills that really work to remove their negative self talk, eliminate stress, heal their hearts, remove anxiety, fear, depression and be empowered to find their own Joygasmic Life.

Fatima Georges is the Founder and CEO of the Divine Feminine Bliss Birth Program. She has had the benefit of a multi-faceted career as a Dancer, Movement Therapist, Educator, Holistic Health Consultant, and Reiki Practitioner.
