Yoga facilitator and mama, Manpreet comes onto the podcast today to share her story of motherhood and self-empowerment. About seven years ago, Manpreet had her first child, a beautiful boy and she learned how to navigate motherhood on her own as a single mother. It took an incredible amount of strength and resilience to step into her power and through meditation and yoga, she found ways to strengthen her connection to herself. Most recently, Manpreet suffered the stillbirth of her daughter at 22 weeks. She feels deeply in tune with her daughter and shares a beautiful message that she received from her.

We discuss the benefits of yoga and breath work, specifically how it can help women who are trying to conceive or who are currently pregnant after loss. We also talk about the ongoing benefits of yoga, well beyond fertility as it helps us connect to ourselves and live life with deeper intention and meaning.

Manpreet facilitates kundalini yoga classes in the Greater Toronto Area, Ontario and offers incredible retreats, all of which are mentioned on her webiste and Instagram page.

A baby shower after experiencing a full-term stillbirth is different from a regular shower. I’ve “done this” before and I’ve lost everything. It would make perfect sense for me to have chosen not to celebrate anything until Baby Girl arrives safely and many of my mom friends who have walked this path with me do choose that and I completely understand why. For me, I chose to have a celebration even before she arrives because I need to focus on the hope…the hope that we will get to bring her home, the hope that the carseat we’ve had in storage for the past two years will be used, the hope that she will get to wear all of these adorable outfits. My baby shower was an act of bravery for me because I'm putting all my faith in God and promising Him that I will make the most of every day.

I talk about why I chose to have a baby shower for my Rainbow and all the beautiful signs that guided me to see this was the right step for me. I'd love to hear from you: are you planning on a shower? A sip and see? On the fence?

Julie radiates light and love when she talks about both of her boys: Evan in Heaven and her Rainbow, Sean. Her sweet Evan passed at 8 days old after being born at approximately 30-32 weeks. She talks about how she continues to include Evan in family events and outings because he will always be a member of their family. Three months after his passing, Julie became pregnant with Baby #2. Julie discusses how she navigated pregnancy after loss and ways she found hope that this little one would be coming home. Now, Baby #2, Sean is two months old and as cute as can be. Julie and I talk about the importance of building up your village during PAL: meal trains postpartum, therapy, lactation consultants, doulas, faith, finding other moms who "get it" and who can offer support...the list goes on.
