Let’s talk about female anatomy! In this episode I share with you how I am healing pelvic floor pain, and pelvic floor imbalance at home during this time.

• The different positions a uterus can be in (outside of the optimal central position)

• Women are underserved by the mainstream health model 

• 11 months postpartum pelvic floor check-in (I have a lot of pain) 

• My decision to make progress with my healing on my own

• What is holistic pelvic care?

010 | Uncensored, Ecstatic, and Pleasurable Childbirth with Erika Alsborn

If you’re an expecting woman, or a birth nerd, you’re going to freakin’ LOVE this episode with Sex and Birth Coach Erika Alsborn. The stories we hear in the mainstream (as children and then as young women), are stories that link birth to fear, panic, emergency, and pain. What if everything we were conditioned to believe birth would be, was wrong? What if birth could be orgasmic and deeply pleasurable — an ecstatic expression of raw energy in motion? What if more women could feel their way into this kind of sexual experience, by deepening their embodiment and connection with their hips, pelvis, vulva, vagina, cervix, throat, and womb? This is an episode you do not want to miss. 

In this episode, Jillian and Erika cover: 

• Erika’s journey from nursing to holistic sexual coaching

• The inseperable link between sex and birth

• How to prepare for a pleasurable birth

• The connection between an open throat and an open cervix

• A not-to-miss synopsis of Erika’s unhindered and ecstatic birth story

009 | Six Figures is Peanuts and Other Things I Wish I Knew

Six years ago, if someone would have told me that making six-figures in annual business revenue wouldn’t feel like a significant amount of money to me, I would have been so confused. After all, in the personal development and coaching world, everyone seems to be setting the first bar at six-figures. What if it needs to be set at least twice that from the very beginning, though?

In this episode I share with you a big picture look at why six-figures in business revenue is peanuts, and give you a different ‘minimum requirement’. This is a different flavor of an episode, and truthfully, I wanted to be the voice and the wisdom that I needed, when I first started transitioning my in-person healing work, to my online work. 

In this episode I cover:

• Why six-figures is peanuts and where to set a standard instead

• The importance of having a sales positive mindset

• The difference between making sales in a feel-good way vs. doing the old paradigm sales thing (old paradigm sales tactics are still alive and being taught) 

• and other important business lessons that would have accelerated my growth path!

In this episode I mention the new guidebook I created for you on this topic. You can download it instantly today at http://www.jillian-anderson.com/sixfiguresispeanuts

006 | Earn Smart with Digital Programs

In this solo episode of the Vital Mother Podcast, Jillian shares openly about the things she wish she would have known before she became a mom. She shares about her roman catholic childhood, and how that affected her world view of a woman’s income as being secondary.

In this episode Jillian discussed: 

• How to shift out of the trading time for money paradigm 

• Jillian’s catholic upbringing and how it fed into being ill prepared (financially) for motherhood 

• What Jillian’s income depended upon when her first child was born (six years ago) vs. how she earns smarter today
