The Womb Room Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

 

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)

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.

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

The Resonance Effect: How Frequency Specific Microcurrent is Changing Medicine by Carolyn McMakin (Book)

A woman tending the kitchen has become an image of oppression, rather than pride and power -- but what if this return is not only a pathway to health, but also to liberation and cultural change? 

I talk with Cervical Wellness founder and Integrative Health Coach, Denell Barbara Randall, about the role of kitchen medicine as nourishment as devotion and the journey into softness in our healing. We share about:

• How we now both are orienting to our lives through play and flexibility rather than through a rigid prescription of healing
• Full nourishment, our journeys to incorporating more animal products, and the difference between what our mind and bodies want.
• The return of women to the hearth (the kitchen) and how we create cultural change here
• Returning to cooking as lineage work and the remembering of ancient wisdom
• Turning being in the kitchen from an oppressive chore to a liberating devotion
• Food as our root and our relationship with receiving nourishment and belonging
• Denell’s perspectives on business, online marketing, “boss babe” obsession, and shifting how she offers her work
• The energetics of money in our work and recovering from comparison

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

During mercury retrograde, I went through a bank scam that left me with $0. This is the story of what happened, how I'm alchemizing, and why I'm grateful for it -- and the clarity it's given me to cultivate financial resilience, and speak more openly about wealth generation. 

If this lands for you, I invite you to join me in a free live offering with me on February 23: OVERFLOW: Rewiring Our Relationship With Resource. 

Together, we'll be exploring :

• somatic practice
• inner child tending and unwinding of beliefs
• exploring the energetics of receiving, holding, and creating
• a transmission of my own journey with money, receptivity,  – and what I learned from recently losing a LOT of money
• what quantum physics has to do with our ability to create

To learn more about Healy, visit here. (The resonance and above models are currently 40% off -- and the professional model is 60% off until February 21!) 

What does the moon and your astrology have to do with your fertility, and your fertile window? 

Perhaps you've heard the folklore that your natal moon phase has an impact on your fertility. Or, maybe you've dipped into the world of medical astrology. Or, you might have that friend who conceived despite diligently charting her cycle, and being certain she confirmed ovulation. What could explain this?

In this episode, I chat with mother, sovereign womban and fertility astrologer, Athena Fotula. She is the woman behind Wild Willing Wisdom, a place through which she channels her knowledge in fertility astrology, wild birth, and true natural medicine.

We explore:

• what medical astrology is, and what it has to do with your fertility
• your natal moon phase and the possibility of a second fertile window
• the scientific theories behind the impact of the moon on your ovulation
• the meeting place of science and surrender to mystery
• lunar astrology and the sex of your baby
• working with astrology to prepare for or avoid pregnancy
• sovereign mothering and trusting in your family's healing symptoms

You can check out Athena's work at Wild Willing Wisdom, and on Instagram, and see her offerings -- including fertility astrology counseling for conscious conception and contraception!
