I don’t know about you, but I am all about some good storytelling! Today I’m going to begin sharing some stories about how a few groups of indigenous peoples around the world, in today’s world to be specific, potty their babies and do not use diapers. Today we are going to start with some of the indigenous peoples of Africa. I get asked this question all the time: do people do “elimination communication” in indigenous communities, or is it altogether something different? We’ll discuss that first on today’s show.

I feel ridiculously passionate about sharing tools with you and your friends during these really strange times. One more little extra podcast/written article for ya to round out our week.

(The first was how to refresh or start EC with observation time, second was wipes alternatives, third was diaper alternatives.)

Kate is our certified coach in Wyoming and she just wrote an amazing and short post on potty training during this time - whether from scratch or to wrap up EC. She wrote it and then I read it for a bonus episode on the podcast...for today, right now!

NOTE: If you’re listening far later than the coronavirus pandemic, and you have 3-7 days off from work and want to potty train, this one is also for you. ;)

Today we have a bonus episode by one of our Certified Coaches, Ariane Blais-Lacombe, for those of you self-isolating due to coronavirus (or for ANYONE who wants to get better at EC) who now have some spare time (30-60 minutes) on their hands. Naked observation time is crucial to beginning your EC journey. Letting your baby be naked and watching him without pottying him yet will provide you tons of useful information to know your baby better and potty him or her more accurately. I’ll share Ariane’s 10 Golden Rules for Observation Time, learning when to potty baby, and how to read your baby with the information learned during observation time.

In this episode I’ll give you the elevator pitch for Elimination Communication - or how to talk about pottying your baby without seeming judgy or crazy.

Today’s show is sponsored by my free masterclass about how to bring EC to your town with confidence and structure - “How to make money (and change the world) telling others about EC - My 3-step method.” In it, you’ll discover my simple method (and my very special secrets) to bring EC to your town, make money, and gosh-darnit, change the world...doing what you're already doing, anyway. Save your seat at godiaperfree.com/coachclass.

So, I’ve definitely talked about how to tell others about EC before, but, while researching my upcoming signature EC courses, I’ve gotten a bunch of requests for an even MORE abbreviated version of how to talk about elimination communication without getting the stink-eye, or worse yet, shunned by other parents.

Today I’ll give you a few concise options, followed by my biggest tip on how to bring an awareness of EC to YOUR town...especially if you don’t know a single other soul who does it.
