If you find yourself afraid of disappointing others, stuck in spirals of shame or judgement, or attaching your worth to your goodness, you might have a case of "good girl programming". I chat with Lindsey Lockett, nervous system and trauma educator, about how through tending our nervous system, we can bring awareness to old patterns, and learn how to mobilize into our fullest expression. 

We explore: 

• “Good girl programming” and how it shows up in our nervous system response, and our relationship with other women
• Lindsey’s evangelical upbringing and its impact on her default responses
• The “freeze” response versus immobilization, and how it shows up in women
• Reflective questions for when we get activated
• Our collective attachment to identifying with dis-ease
• How our culture is driven by “good girl programming” of not wanting to be “bad” or “wrong”
• How we can shift patterns through building awareness of our inner voices

What even is the "quantum" realm, and how might it fundamentally change how we think about health, healing, and the possibilities of our bodies? There are few practitioners who translate the vast world of quantum biology into simple, intuitive medicine -- and Dr. Catherine Clinton is one of them. A naturopathic physician, she focuses on the quantum nature of our biology and how this understanding can support us in tending our terrain. In our conversaiton, we explore:

• what quantum biology is, and how it changes how we think about health 
• sunlight, water, and frequency information for our healing
• how quantum physics is different from the Newtonian physics we all learned in school
• psycho neuro immunology and breaking down the barrier between "body" and "mind"
• quantum entanglement and healing beyond time and space 
• biofield medicine and how we are hardwired to be in coherence with each other 
• the potent power of our electromagnetic field
• the importance of structured water and its function as a liquid crystal
• Why aligning with circadian rhythms is the foundation of our quantum biology
• how cultivating relationship with (our) nature is what creates sustainable change

If you've been curious about womb steaming but haven't been sure where to start or how it works, today's episode is for you. I'm sharing a conversation with Chantal Blake, Womb Wellness Educator and Womb Steaming Therapist.  She helps women "break cycles of painful periods and hormonal chaos, prepare for healthy conception, recover after birth, and raise daughters who love their periods through the tools of body literacy, cycle syncing, and traditional self-care."

We talk about: 

• Chantal's journey as mother and how steaming supported her from preconception, to miscarriage, to birth postpartum
• Pregnancy loss outside of the medicial system
• The ways postpartum steaming can support healing
• Steaming for trauma resolution and how the structural shifts the emotional

Maura (@call_me_a_witch) is back with us today with a conversation that has been coming up in our community lately: what is happening with the men, and how can an understanding of energetics support our relationships with them? 

Whether it's romantic, familial, friendship or otherwise, we've come to the conclusion that we can no longer claim that the wellbeing of men is "not our problem". As we think about where we have mistaken men's societal position of power for their freedom, we orient to the spiritual and practical necessity of orienting to men's energetics, and what they carrying in our society today.

Today we have a special and tender episode with my friend, Nicole Granati. Nicole is a spiritual counselor, minister, and teacher -- as well as a long time member of The Womb Room! 

Nicole shares the story of her abortion outside the medical system, the lessons it brought, and how it changed her life.

It was especially beautiful to have this conversation with Nicole after being with her in the Sovereign Womban container for the past year, where we get to play with these practices of orienting to the medicine of our experiences, and what it means to move in our agency and sovereignty. In our conversation we get into:

• Nicole's family background and growing up outside the medical system
• How she approached a journey with an unplanned pregnancy, why she was drawn to menstrual extraction, and finding a midwife to walk with her
• The power of baby beings (spirit babies) and how Nicole chose to end an agreement with a baby being
• The challenges of postpartum and the need for community care
• How an abortion propelled Nicole from maiden to mother, and how it clarified her desire for motherhood
• Self responsibility, sovereignty, and desire (so much of what we talk about in the Sovereign Womban container in The Womb Room)
• How you can connect with baby beings in your life through the spirit of amusement

Connect with Nicole for 1:1 support at her website, Spiritual Hello, and on Instagram   (she's amazing!)

What is your relationship like with resources, receiving, and money? How might we transform our money stories so that we can be open to our fullest abundance -- and pour back into our communities from our overflow?

I've never talked about money publicly befpre, and honestly, it still makes me cringe a little! But, it's time. What if we could create a loving, reciprocal, matriarchal system of wealth creation? It's happening.

I'm so honored to share my conversation with matriarch and creatrix Katya Nova, where we share the journeys of our relationships with money, receiving and abundance -- and how you can join us in transforming your relationship with resource.

We talk about: 

• Why we've avoided talking about money (until now!)
• Katya's family money story and how it led her here
• Why Katya having NO money was important on her journey to creating and receiving abundance
• "solidarity struggle" and how I attached worth to NOT having money
• Shifting from survival and "just enough" to thriving
• The relationship between SURRENDER and receiving
• How money can be an ally and a tool for collective reciprocity and healing -- especially when it's in the hand of women & mothers
• What being a well-nourished woman (and drinking bone broth) have to do with our capacity to receive and hold resources

Struggling with overwhelm, overstimulation, circular thoughts, distraction and restless seemed to take over my every day...these patterns are often labeled as "ADHD". When I oriented to the paradigm of biological adaptation through the lens of Germanic Healing, I had a big "aha" about these patterns, that shifted their expression for good. 

In this solo episode I share about: 

• my thoughts on ADHD and "neurodivergence" culture
• my personal experience with ADHD and how my relationship with it was contributing to suffering and feeling at the effect of my own brain
• The biological conflicts that actually cause the behavior patterns of forgetfulness and distraction, as well as restless and constant motion 
• What "constellations" are in GNM and how they create behavioral changes
• The core memories that unlocked the "why" behind my ADHD patterns 
• The role of re-mothering, earth safety, and embodied expression in repatterning my brain 
• Adaptive patterns as a divine gift, and why we might not want to resolve some of our adaptations 
• Moving out of the good/bad paradigm and into spaciousness, curiosity and agency 
• Attachment to our identities and labels and how they keep us small (and protected)

What if healing trauma didn't have to be drastic or dramatic -- what if your healing could be slow and gentle?

In our first episode for this season, I'm talking with Hannah Grace, a somatic therapist, dance teacher, and if I may say so, an incredibly genuine soul. Her body of work, Web of Grace, walks with women as they discover who they are through somatic trauma healing, embodiment, and deep relationship.

In our conversation we explore:

• Why big cathartic experiences plant medicine ceremonies aren’t always a sustainable pathway for healing
• Your nervous system and our capacity for holding safety and ease (rather than chaos)
• The medicine of subtle and body-based healing
• Why it’s important to “close loops” in our nervous system, and not demonize our fight/flight responses
• How somatics can support us when we can talk through and explain our trauma, but still feel stuck
• How sisterhood and relationship wounds show up in our lives, and how we can tend to our inner child in these moments
• The reparative nature of play as adults

Follow Hannah Grace’s beautiful work on instagram at @webofgrace , check out her website, and be sure not to miss Reclamation, her upcoming 3-month program for reclaiming your full self through somatic, sisterhood and inner-child healing. It starts in just a couple weeks!

It's my deep desire that we all feel resourced internally and externally to self-govern our wombs and support our communities in doing so as well. May this be received in the spirit it is shared in.

I talk about:

- why I don't believe abortion is a "right"

- how the fight for legal rights often keeps us out of our power, and what we can do instead of asking for permission

-my qualms with the liberal "self-managed abortion" language

-taking responsibility for our innate ability to govern life and death in our wombs

-practical ways we can return reproductive sovereignty to our own hands

At the core of our being is the psoas — sometimes known as a muscle, or as my guest Liz Koch calls it, a “fluid messenger” that has so much to teach us about what it means to walk rooted on the earth.

Liz Koch is an international educator the creator of Core Awareness,™ a somatic approach to deepening the experience of the human core, and the author of beautiful books including The Psoas Book and Stalking Wild Psoas.

In our conversation, we explore:

• the primal brain and the animal body — the sense of knowing we have in our womb
• the shift from viewing ourselves as disjointed parts to a living ecosystem
• the womb as an organ of perception
• how spiraling into menopause can bring a new level of wholeness and autonomy
• eldership and how as a collective we are missing our mothers
• how women have participated in handing over our power by outsourcing our fear, and how psoas can bring us back to our primal power
• the function of psoas and its relationship with fear and safety
• How we can come home to our body and the earth as a re-mothering process

…And sooo much more.

What if everything you've been told about anemia is a scam?

Chances are, if you're a bleeding woman, you've likely either been told you have "anemia," or that you need to be concerned about getting enough iron in your diet. 

But if we're all so concerned about getting enough iron, why is everyone still anemic?

In today's episode, we're busting some major myths about iron and anemia in female health, with my guest Loren De La Cruz, functional nutritional therapy practitioner, preconception specialist and owner of Innate Functional Nutrition.

We dive into the truth about iron in the female body and what's really causing symptoms of anemia (hint -- it's probably not what your doctor told you). 

We get into:

• Loren's journey from veganism and birth control into fertilty work and pro-metabolic nutrition
• What "iron deficiency anemia" actually is, and what it's not
• Why symptoms of iron deficiency in the blood often mean iron OVERLOAD
• Why more iron might be hurting, rather than helping, your health
• The connection between iron overload, pathogenic infections, and fatigue
• The importance of mineral balance, and why copper is critical 
• Key foods to support our body's ability to use iron
• If you choose to get bloodwork, the type of testing that actually tells you about true iron usage (it's not ferritin!)
• Practical steps you can take to nourish your fertile health

When you get "triggered," what do you do? In our culture, it's common to move into blame, shame, or shutdown -- but what might these activating feelings have to teach us, and what does it have to do with our womb sovereignty? 

In this episode, I'm sharing a recording from inside The Womb Room, my year-long container for cultivating womb sovereignty and matriarchal healing. I get into:

• The difference between experiencing victimization, and taking on the identity of victim
• How we can hold the truth of systems of oppression, while still centering our sovereignty
• Why the impulse to "hero" others (and ourselves) is actually an issue of supremacy 
• 3 questions to explore when you experience a trigger, and how they might be for us 
• Why the capacity to hold sensation in our nervous system is absolutely central to putting womb sovereignty into practice

This is a big one... deep breaths, be gentle, and offering you big love!

Have you been wanting to learn how to prevent pregnancy naturally? 

Maybe you've heard of Fertility Awareness methods, or have been wishing you could ditch hormonal contraceptives, but you keep thinking, "I just can't afford to get pregnant." 

In this episode, I'm walking you through the 3 crucial steps to successfully preventing pregnancy naturally, using the sympto-thermal method of fertility awareness, and plant allies as back-up!

There's so much misinformation about our cycles (like the myth that we're fertile every day), and you can absolutely learn how to confidently prevent pregnancy on your terms. The sympto-thermal method is actually 99.4% effective when used correctly!

Want to dive deeper into the science and sacred of contraception? Join us in Sovereign Cycles, an 8-week live group intensive on pregnancy prevention!

How many women do you know that have a fear (or an experience) of being kicked out of, ostracized from, or canceled by a community they're a part of? Whether it's part of a social justice movement or in an online spiritual community, we live in a time where people are easily disposable, and where we have little capacity for conflict, mess, or nuance. In this conversation, Maura and Qiddist talk about the energetics of what we're seeing in our in person and online communities, and pathways that move us out of the "either/or" paradigm of "sovereignty" vs the collective. We explore:

• the disposability of people in our movements, cancel culture, and in women’s communities
• How misogyny isn't just about women, it's about YIN energy, -- and what "yin reverence" means
• Our cultural commitment to preference over truth
• What our intolerance for conflict has to do with misogyny 
• The connection between how we regard mess, and how we regard the earth
• Why we don’t want people to come to The Womb Room for belonging
• how the "sovereignty" movement and our collectivest culture seem different, but are often doing the same thing 
• what sovereignty and interdependence can look like, together.

What is matriarchy, why do we need it, and how do we create it? 

Today we dive into the skills we need to cultivate matriarchy in our communities, with guest  Maura Sternberg. 

We explore how we orient to personal and collective apocalypse, why mothers and children need to be at the center of our social structures, and how we can begin to create the worlds we want to see.

Maura is a kitchen witch, herbalist, spirit medicine holder, and sister. She sits at the feet of her teachers Rachelle Garcia Seliga, Susun Weed, Everest Asher, Perri Chase, among others. Her most fervent wish is that her work serves as ecstatic and embodied liberation, for herself, her community, her ancestors, and her FirstMother, Earth.

Alexandria Rema Saleem is a first generation Palestinian-American creatrix. (She's also a dear friend, Womb Room member, and mother of twins!) Her creative work activates from a place of multidimensional healing, to serve as a conduit of ancestral knowledge, collective consciousness, and communal desire. She works between the land, as a regenerative flower farmer, with sacred activism as the foundation of her artistic practice the interweaves through all of the seeds she plants. In this conversation, we explore:

• How we access the internal spaciousness to discern right action when there is threat in our nervous systems

• The language of “war,” “genocide,” and how we navigate our activations around language to find connection and relationship
• Alexandria’s experience of being able to feel family members in Palestine she has never met, through her bodily experience of grief
• Our quantum capacity to feel (grief, suffering, pain, joy, liberation), beyond the confines of time space
• How grief connects us to our lineages
• What it means to hold paradox in the body, and the ways that we use self-punishment, blame, or hopelessness as ways to get out of feeling
• Letting our yin (emotional expression) resource our yang (discernment, direction, action)
• Connection to land, food, family and the intergenerational alchemy as the lighthouses of liberation

Alexandria is a multimedia performance artist, art director, and set designer whose practice is hybrid, incorporating dance, performance art, film, installation, happenings, and environment design.

Her practice holds space for the intimate to become a window into the universal & cosmic; Inviting the collective experience to eclipse individual subjectivity and allow for an evolved empathetic process. She works with individuals, communities, and other creatives to reclaim our human right to have sacred spaces, through world building, dance, ritual, risk, and tenderness.

She is co-director of the Center for study and preservation of Palestine, Founding member of the Black Oregon Land Trust, and Co-founder of SWANA Rose Culture and community center.

How do our bodies experience, metabolize and alchemize the energetics of war? We share a conversation with Rachel Leibovich, community member in The Womb Room, and founder of Esperanza's Acres where she practices as a jewish priestess, ritualist and dream weaver in service to community healing and justice. 

Rachel came to us in our "matriarchal health care" section of The Womb Room with curiosity about an acute expression of symptoms. She shares the story of how the phsyical healing has been a piece of her alchemical process of navigating identity, community, expression and work as a Jewish woman, amdist the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

We share this as an example of how by working our internal landscape, by honoring the expression of the body, we shift the world around us, through accessing our true expression. Deep gratitude.

Notes on rectal bleeding:

In the GHK paradigm, rectal bleeding can arise in the healing phase of a couple different conflicts. In an identity conflict where on feels they do not have place,community, belonging, the body will attempt to establish "territory" as mammals do, through defecation. During the conflict active phase, the lining of the rectum ulcerates, so as to make more space to mark the territory. In the resolution of the conflict, there is swelling, cell proliferation, and there can be hemorrhoids and rectal bleeding

Alternatively, a feces or "shit conflict" is an expression of a "shitty situation," where cells in the colon and/or rectum proliferate in the conflict active phase, in order to better "digest" the situation. Rectal bleeding can occur in the resolution phase.

What is magic, really -- and how can it be used to support our physical healing? Listen in on a segment of the audio from our recent free class, "Awakening Elemental Magic," where we tell a solstice story of our sister who developed an acute full-body rashed that turned to anaphylaxis...and how we walked with her through a resolve, using our understanding and practice of MAGIC. 

We touch on: 

• germanic healing knowledge and how recognizing our conflicts will often lead to a worsening of symptoms known as a "healing crisis" 
• how we worked across distance and across multiple bodies to pull an energetic arrow out of our sister's chest 
• why we orient to magic and healing from an interdependent view, and how we can decrease severity of symptoms by spreading out the charge across bodies 
• details for SHAMANI: our upcoming 12-week energetic skills intensive for you to awaken your innate elemental magic, and learn to weave change with the unseen. 

If this lights you up, join us inside The Womb Room for our inagural cohort of SHAMANI! Enrollment closes on January 2.

What does it practically take to resolve our chronic symptoms, through the lens of Germanic Healing Knowledge? My friend and colleage Freya Kellet and I go back-and-forth sharing our personal stories of instantaneous relief from issues like chronic fatigue, tailbone pain, anorgasmia and more. If you've been exploring GNM but want the real-life look at what it takes to heal, this is for you!

We share stories about: 

• How understanding that consciousness preceding matter allows us to heal instantaneously
• Qiddist’s spontaneous and permanent resolution of her chronic tailbone pain via memory recall
• How to look for our conflicts with softness, rather than grasping and drilling down
• Freya’s first love “freeze” (motor conflict) that caused the chronic tension in her side, butt and leg
• Why you can’t trick your brain into a conflict, and how perceptual alchemy only works if it’s fully coherent
• A bit on Qiddist’s first love ovarian / loss conflict and why stabbing ovarian pain was a welcome resolution
• Anorgasmia and motor conflicts, and how Freya was able to clear the conflict that was preventing clitoral orgasm with her man
• Freya's “chronic fatigue” and the adrenal / decision making conflicts that drive it
• Qiddist’s “food intolerances” and resolving her inability to eat American breakfast foods

• what my mother's experience has to do with my path
• the balance between rejecting credentialism, while honoring education and lineage
• why I am NOT an abortion activist
• My three takeaways from the last year of case studies
• what I believe is needed in stepping onto this medicine path 
• what led me to start Sovereign Cycles, a mentorship learning program for pregnancy prevention & release work
• how you can learn with me this year and cultivate your skills!

Our connective tissue is a conduit for quantum information, emotional patterns, and powerful stories -- and unearthing them can hold the keys to our healing. I talk with Lindsay Courcelle, a Myofascial Release therapist and Holistic Pelvic CareTM practitioner, who is passionate about helping women to transmute their traumas and liberate their bodies through myofascial and energetic bodywork. 

We explore:

• How our connective tissue holds physical and emotional trauma
• The solidifying of our tissues as emotional protection 
• The wisdom and signficance of our injuries and how they can lead us to deeper healing
• The importance of tending our womb and pelvic fascia 
• The unseen impact of scar tissue across the body 
• How myofascial release differs from other modalities
• Bodily wisdom stories from both of us, our bodies, and our work with other women
• How myofascial allows us to drop into our intuitive brain, where healing and change happens
• Breast care and relationship, and the power of myofascial release to alter cells

Lindsay has just launched an Internal Myofascial Pelvic Care Masterclass for women to learn how to tend to the fluidity of their pelvic bowl through guided hands-in touch!
