Motherhood, Identity, and the Loss of Community S8 E4

Season 8 · Episode 4

Monday, February 9, 2026 • Duration 01:04:07

In this episode, I sit down with Kristen - a licensed therapist, mother, and founder of Rebel Soul Coaching, for an honest conversation about motherhood, nervous system overwhelm, and the quiet grief so many women are holding.

We speak from lived experience rather than theory, staying with what is real, messy, and tender in this season of life.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Motherhood as a rite of passage
• Burnout and nervous system overwhelm
• Grief for lost forms of community
• Why connection can feel unsafe
• The sisterhood wound and social anxiety
• Emotions as information, not problems to fix
• Ancestral and earth based support

How Understanding Our Nervous System Supports Real Connection S8E3

Season 8 · Episode 3

Saturday, January 10, 2026 • Duration 57:45

This episode is about getting to know our bodies so we can connect more authentically in relationship and community.

It explores how the nervous system learns through experience, why so many of our responses make sense in context, and how much of what we carry comes from living without the village we once had.

Returning to one another is not something we can rush or force. It asks for awareness, gentleness, and a willingness to listen to the body before asking it to open.

We touch on

• How the body learns safety and threat
• Why regulation was once relational
• What happens when we lose the village
• Survival responses as intelligence, not failure
• The vagal pathway and connection
• Listening to the body as a foundation for community

Caring for Tears in Postpartum: What Really Supports the Perineum in Birth? with Elizabeth Greaves Ep119

Tuesday, June 10, 2025 • Duration 38:44

Welcome to the final episode of Season 7.

We’ve journeyed through episodes 78 - 119, exploring preconception to postpartum.

Today, I’m joined by Elizabeth Greaves, a mother of three who is passionate about understanding physiological birth and supporting mothers and families in making choices that align with their hearts and real needs.

She shares her personal experience of receiving an unconsented episiotomy—a violation that far too many birthing people endure. From this place, we explore the wider context of:

🌿 The degrees of tearing in birth
🌿 The body’s physiological design to birth when supported and undisturbed
🌿 The role of the perineum and how pressure from the baby’s head initiates a natural feedback loop
🌿 Why perineal massage—especially with external tools—isn’t always encouraged
🌿 The importance of intimacy, movement, and nourishment as ways to prepare the body
🌿 Reclaiming birth as a space of safety, consent, and inner knowing

This episode is a reminder that the body holds wisdom and that honoring that wisdom begins with trust, presence, and deep listening.

Postpartum Steaming: Heal, Replenish, Energize with Julia Demillones Moore, Founder of Moonbeam Steams Ep118

Saturday, May 24, 2025 • Duration 42:56

Have you ever wondered if there’s more to postpartum care than simply “getting back to normal”?

What if the path to healing wasn’t about bouncing back but coming home to your body, womb, and rhythm?

In this episode, I sit down with Julia Demillones Moore, mother, herbalist, and founder of Moonbeam Steams.

She’s a women’s health advocate who came into this work through her own struggles with painful periods, hormonal imbalance, and postpartum depletion.

In reconnecting with the ancient practice of vaginal steaming, rooted in her Filipino lineage, she found a path of profound healing—and now shares that wisdom with others.

FREE PDF FOR YONI STEAMING

Together, we explore the three stages of postpartum steaming:

The Immediate Postpartum, within the first 30 days—supporting the release of fluids, cleansing the uterus, and helping the body rest and repair.

The Early Postpartum, from 1 month to a year—focused on rebuilding the body’s reserves, strengthening the womb, and restoring moisture and vitality.

And the Later Postpartum, which can be months or even years after birth, supporting circulation, energy, and emotional integration. Because it’s never too late to care for your womb.

We also talk about:

When it’s safe to begin steaming—whether you’ve had a vaginal birth, cesarean, tearing, or episiotomy
Herbs that support the womb, nervous system, and postpartum healing—like plantain, marshmallow root, nettle, yarrow, rose, and chamomile

- How steaming can be introduced around to help prepare the body for labor

We explore:

The four pillars of postpartum healing: rest, warmth, body care, and nourishment, and community as the foundation
Cross-cultural traditions of Closing the Bones—from Mexico to Morocco and Russia
The power of ceremony—why it’s never too late to close what was left open

Scar Tissue as a Pillar of Health – Episiotomy Care, Cesarean, and Sex Postpartum with Ellen Heed l Ep 116

Season 7 · Episode 116

Wednesday, April 30, 2025 • Duration 49:23

In this powerful episode, I sit down with somatic educator and STREAM founder Ellen Heed to explore a topic often overlooked in healthcare—scar tissue.

Far from being a minor footnote in our healing journey, scar tissue can hold physical, emotional, and energetic imprints that shape our relationship with our bodies.

Ellen shares her vast knowledge from decades of work in somatics, anatomy, sexology, and trauma-informed care. We speak about the silent impact of unaddressed scar tissue after birth—be it episiotomy, cesarean, or internal tearing—and how we can begin to re-establish trust and intimacy with our bodies.

In this conversation, we cover:

Why scar tissue is a foundational pillar of health
The long-term impact of unacknowledged trauma and birth interventions
The body’s innate intelligence and the importance of uninterrupted healing time
Castor oil as a gentle and effective anti-inflammatory support
Cervical scar tissue and its link to interventions like the morning-after pill
How media and pornography shape distorted views of the body and sexuality
Reclaiming the uniqueness of our bodies through curiosity and touch
Why vagus nerve awareness is essential in trauma resolution
The need to move beyond reductionist models of healthcare

If you're a birth worker, bodyworker, sex educator—or simply someone wanting to feel more at home in your body—this is a conversation not to miss.
