Indoctrinated to Naturally Minded
I was that indoctrinated nurse. The one that believed in all 💉. I used to get my flu shot just for the free Tim Horton's coffee (both of those make me want to 🤮 now).
I thought home births showed be illegal. I believed everything I learned in school and fought with others who disagreed with "the science."
I also publicly fought with people who believed in Jesus.
People knew not to mention God or faith around me as it stirred up anger and resentment.
A friend once got hurt, and someone there gathered plantain from the ground to put it on the bruised, swelling, and cut wound. I slapped it away and said, "He doesn't need weeds he needs ice!"
That was me.
Until my first son was born and challenged my beliefs on food and everything I believed to be true.
Once that door opened, I kept going, eventually becoming a Holistic Nutritionist where everything I once stood for collapsed.
I saw it all for what it was.
The veil had been lifted, and there was no going back. I
'm a passionate person.
There's no halfway for me. I'm either all in or not.
When it came to my children's health and my family’s, I was all in for learning how to do better.
We do the best we can with what we know, when we know better - we do better!
I now no longer vaccinate or get any shots, for myself or children.
Stopped with my oldest at 18 mos.
I'll be the first one running to grab some weeds to put on any wounds. (Yarrow and Plantain are my favourites - chickweed is a runner up!).
I love foraging.
Plant medicines and making our own natural remedies.
I've reconnected back to nature.
Back to myself and most importantly God.
I'm so passionate about undisturbed physiological home births that I Co-created a conference around it @reclaimbirthconference (www.reclaimingbirthconference.com)
I love teaching and sharing what I've learned.
But mostly what I've unlearned.
The unlearning can be the hardest part, and you don't have to do it alone!
To think, going from an indoctrinated nurse to an activist to where I am now! I have ebooks and courses on herbs and natural remedies featured in the self-sufficient bundle!
When I find myself getting angry and resentful, I think back to indoctrinated me, I try to have grace and compassion.
If there's hope for me, there's hope for anyone. Keep leading by example.
Your life is the testimony, and all glory goes to Him in your testimony!
