Healing isn’t random — your body follows a very specific order. In this episode, I’m introducing the Order of Healing, a framework I learned months ago that completely changed how I look at symptoms, root causes, and true recovery in pregnancy and postpartum. We’ll break down what the order of healing is, why the body heals in this sequence, and how understanding it helps you stop chasing symptoms and start supporting real, lasting healing. This episode also kicks off a new podcast series, where we’ll walk through each of the seven steps in depth.

In this episode, Brooke sits down with Jess Lindgren to explore what it means to be a deeply involved, child-free adult in a family-centered world.

Together, they discuss boundaries, respect, and how extended family and friends can support parents without overstepping. This conversation is a refreshing reminder that strong villages are built intentionally, and there’s more than one way to nurture the next generation. Click HERE to access today’s shownotes.

In this week’s episode, Brooke sits down with Dr. Laurel Mellin to explore the neuroscience behind Emotional Brain Training (EBT) and how emotional connection, implicit memory, and stress wiring shape behavior. Dr. Mellin explains how brief, structured EBT tools access the emotional brain to deactivate stress circuits, strengthen joy circuits, and create lasting change through experience rather than cognition. They break down the five brain states, how each tool works, and why high-stress moments are powerful opportunities to rewire old patterns. You’ll also learn how parents can use EBT within their own lives to naturally support their children’s emotional health and begin shifting their family toward being “wired for joy.”

These are the patterns I see in nearly every client, and they’re almost never talked about in traditional lactation support. By the end, you’ll understand what your body actually needs to produce milk consistently and what to shift today for better results.
