This embodied knowledge of me being connected to all women in history who had also given birth and how powerful that could be got me through my birth… and we can all get there.
In Season 4 of Life on the Other Side of Should, we are highlighting the collective wisdom of the SheHive. Each week you’ll hear from one of our community members that dared to answer a question we posed on our Facebook group, “What topic could you talk about passionately for 17 1/2 minutes with preparing?”

In Episode 14, Cara Rossi joins us to talk about natural childbirth.

A freshman at Kalamazoo College, Cara joined a women’s group where reproductive rights and justice were a hot topic of discussion. The conversations focused on abortion and birth control - important subjects, for sure - but not the whole story. Cara also wanted to learn about reproductive rights and justice for women who wanted to give birth. It led her on the start of a long journey to learn more about medicalization of childbirth and how she could do more to support women who wanted to be mothers.

It's only scary because we don't talk about it.

​In Episode 12, Angela Zangarola joins us to talk about the Wim Hof Method - a quick hack she discovered after years of research on stress relief.

You might know Angela as our financial and divorce expert at the SheHive, but she is also a self-proclaimed "average woman trying to get through daily life." Desperately searching for a way to manage stress, Angela found sanctuary in meditation - but didn’t have enough time for a regular practice. Years of research finally led her to the Wim Hof method - a quick hack to tackle stress.

Not everyone needs to hear your story, but somebody does
A few times a month I sit down to write a blog post and newsletter for the SheHive community. Some weeks the words flow like an inspired river. Some weeks I have to pry and wrestle them out. And some weeks, like this one, my inner critic makes herself loudly known and starts questioning whether I have a story worth sharing.

“Who. the. fuck. do you think you are to be trying to teach anyone anything?” she asks.

And, truth be told, my inner critic - I call her Roz - isn’t the only one giving me negative feedback or questioning my who I think I am. There are weeks where the number of unsubscribes to this newsletter surpass the subscribes. There are weeks where I hear nothing but crickets after I hit send. And there are times (luckily, rare), where people reach out to me and let me know they don’t like what I’ve written or don’t think I’ve earned the right to, well… write.

But there are many, many weeks where I hear back from someone that they can relate to what I shared. And by doing so, they’ve shared a little of their own story with me. These are the moments that remind me of how important it is to share our stories.

If you follow the SheHive on Instagram, you might have noticed a post last week of a chalk drawing on a sidewalk that read, “One day you will tell your story of how you’ve overcome what you’re going through now, and it will become part of someone else’s survival guide.”

What unshared survival guides do you have within you?

In Episode 11, SheHive community member, Susie Fischer, joins us to talk about finding happiness in the little things.

A former yoga studio manager, Susie, found her life turned upside down when the world went into lockdown in 2020. Out of work and home alone, Susie quickly discovered that if she could “settle the hell down for just a minute,” she could find things all around her that made her feel not only okay, but secure and, ultimately, happy.
