When is a baby a baby and other abortion-related questions. In this episode we talk about a lot of topics surrounding the reversal of Roe V Wade. We postulate the reasoning behind it, and we discuss Leslie's general thoughts on it before and after working as a pediatric nurse in the ICU.

Leslie sees babies coming into the intensive care unit who have just been born and who some of which, might possibly have been better off not so...I know that is a hard statement to stomach, it's not easy for me to say or write either. When we think about abortion though, I think many people have a unidirectional view - that is, they consider only the irresponsible people who are playing recklessly with the lives of the unborn and assume that every baby brought into the world will be better for it.

Many people, people who are making the decisions for the rest of us, don't seem to consider how children brought into a life of instability, hostility, and impairment, may in reality not be better for it. Additionally, how those surrounding them may not be better for it. These conversations, while uncomfortable at times, are things we need to be analyzing and sorting through so as to come to our own distinct and educated opinions surrounding matters that, in this case, are life and death. 

TRIGGER WARNING: If you've gone through abortions or lost children, this may be triggering or you. If you think it might be, then I advise you not to listen. If you'd like to reach out to me for any reason, I'd be happy to hear from you: hello@audaciousfounder.com

Topics include:

- Abortion

- The privilege of being able to give your child opportunity

- Consequences of having a child in unfortunate or unideal circumstances

- The idea that the upper class is trying to keep the middle class broke

- When is a baby actually considered a baby as opposed to just tissue?

- What is normal when it comes to tracking your cycle?

- Feminism

- Being able to tolerate opposing viewpoints

This is an intro coaching call I had with Kelsa recently and I loved our session so much that I asked her if I could share it. She generously said yes! 

Kelsa is a full time librarian who owned her own photography business back in the day. She ended up discontinuing it because it wasn't fun anymore. During the pandemic she was called to take yoga teacher certification training and is now wondering what to do with it, fearing it may turn out like the photography business.  

In this episode we talk about: 

- How your business can be the way you express your gifts to the world

- Thinking of money in terms of the value you are providing

- How you might be invalidating yourself without even realizing it

- A new perspective on your fears 

What a lovely human and I can't wait for our next chat. I hope you enjoy this episode. If you do, please leave us a 5 star review and share with your friends!

Andreea is a long time friend of mine who has created a thriving Budoir Photography business that captures the beauty of every woman: Andreea B. Ballen Photography!

Though this was recorded before the Supreme Court's ruling, it works perfectly with the situation women in the US find themselves at the moment. Andreea's family moved out of Romania when she was young, but she's heard some stories...and the new decision to repeal Roe V Wade is only making the stories feel more real and closer than ever. 

In this episode we talk about sooo many topics, a few of which are:

- The necessity of accepting and expressing the masculine and feminine parts of our personality. 

- IG is shadowbanning anything that has to do with a woman's body.

- The threat to women's civil rights with (at the time of this recording) the idea that Roe V Wade could be repealed. 

- How instead of feeling envy of another woman we deem successful in some way, we should aim to simply admire her and try to contribute. 

- Subtle tactics of control by governments

and so much more.

Andreea is a long time friend of mine who has created a thriving Budoir Photography business which captures the beauty of every woman! 

Budoir is often something we think of as a sexy gift idea for our significant other and rarely as a tool to promote more self love within ourselves. This is precisely what Andreea's mission is: to help all WOMEN to see the beauty, sensuality and power in themselves - without judgment or boundaries.

Being able to see ourselves as sexy not through the eyes of someone else but through our own and in our own way is POWERFUL. It helps us get past the negative and/or shameful associations we have with our body, sex, and societal expectations. It helps us develop true acceptance for ourselves so that we can explore all our bodies and life has to offer. It can be transformational for many of us.

In this episode we talk about sooo many topics, a few of which are:

- Believing in our power

- Seeing beauty in ourselves

- Fear of Success and Imposter Syndrome

- People don't appreciate things that are free

- The subtle ways we invalidate ourselves

- Andreea's journey of finally allowing herself to pursue her passion

- Perfectionism

Stay tuned for Part 2 of my conversation with the amazing Andreea!
