Clearing, releasing & tending womb trauma (+ other embodied wisdom) with Dr Sarah Wylie 1:08:55

23h ago1:08:55

1:08:55

What does it mean to hold trauma in the wombspace? And what are some signs that indicate that womb trauma may be present? The topic of "womb healing" is a bit of a buzz these days and sometimes I wonder what people mean by that. I see social media profiles of "womb healing practitioners" and "womb healing" programs and honestly it's a vague concept…

How can cyclical living inform your yoga, breathwork or movement practices? with Rebecca Rankin 1:12:49

8d ago1:12:49

1:12:49

Follicular, Ovulatory, Luteal, Menstrual. Inner spring, Inner summer, Inner Autumn, Inner Winter. Waxing Moon, Full Moon, Waning Moon, New Moon. The cycles of nature are tangible in ourselves, and especially for those of us with wombs while we're in our cycling years, we have the option to align ourselves with the phase of our cycle we'e in at any …

What's constipation got to do with it? How your elimination impacts hormones, skin, mood & mind 48:23

15d ago48:23

48:23

Well, today I decided to go for it and talk about everyone's favorite topic... poop. 😂 But for real, the quality and regularity of our elimination has a huge impact on our overall health. And unfortunately, we've all but normalized constipation. Most folks go to the doctor and when they're asked, "Do you have regular bowel movements?" They respond,…

Preparing for & reclaiming menopause the Wise Woman Way with Seraphina Capranos 1:06:59

22d ago1:06:59

1:06:59

When you think about the menopausal transition, what comes up? I'm genuinely curious actually... Is it the end of the cycling years, no more bleeding? Or the hot flashes, low libido, dry vaginal tissues, maybe even need to focus more on bone or heart health? Does it feel liberating or like something you're dreading? I know some folks here are alrea…

No One Told Me: All the things we don’t talk about from postpartum to bringing the village back with Zulilah Merry 1:08:14

29d ago1:08:14

1:08:14

Something that always surprises me is how powerful it is to share stories, especially when they relate to "things we don't talk about." It's pretty easy for us to share stories about how our day went awry, or something funny about what our kids did when trying to get them to eat their dinner. But what we don't talk about are often the things we are…

The story of your eggs, ovulation and the epic journey to your uterus and beyond 42:33

1M ago42:33

42:33

As humans, we love stories. And sometimes physiology can be boring and heady and unpalatable. But what if we tell the story of what's happening instead? What if we see the primordial germ cell that may become an oocyte and may ovulate and then travel from the ovary through the uterine tubes and beyond as an epic tale? Honestly, I've fallen in love …

Springtime in your body? Herbs + practices for gentle detox and seasonal connection with Kelley Riviere 1:09:50

1M ago1:09:50

1:09:50

It's Equinox time! Finally, spring is showing its face... or is it? Depends where you live, honestly. Regardless, those of us in the northern hemisphere are likely noticing longer days, and with that increased light, we're reminded that spring is either here, or coming soon. Here in the Wabanaki lands of Maine, we're teetering between cold and slig…

How to tend grief with support from the earth, herbs + seasonal living with India Elyn 53:55

2M ago53:55

53:55

There are so many reasons to grieve right now, on the planet, in our personal lives. Whether it's part of our womb stories or not. Loss is everywhere. We can't escape it, it's part of being a fully living human. So instead of trying to minimize it or rush through it, as our modern world would love to have us do, what if we learn to tend our grief? …

What does it mean to be an herbalist? (and a glimpse into my personal plant path) 1:00:00

2M ago1:00:00

1:00:00

I woke up this morning feeling the spark of spring, and simultaneously felt the excitement of plants popping up. Maybe soon, maybe not. In those moments, I started to reflect on the multitude of ways we can "be an herbalist." And how I'm really a blend of so many, depending on the day, and how my personal herbal journey reflects this. I realized I …

Healing chronic pelvic pain: A journey from helplessness to empowered liberation with Julia Dyer 1:04:53

2M ago1:04:53

1:04:53

As humans, we are storytelling creatures... but I think we often overlook how powerful hearing stories of others healing can be. Especially when they include facing profound debilitation and hopelessness. And show us how we are ALL capable of finding our way from the darkness to the light. To vitality, vibrancy -- even pleasure. And that's what I r…

1
On enhancing arousal and pleasure with herbs, yoni eggs & psychedelics [ft Usha Rose, Juliana Rose Goldstone + myself] 51:05

2M ago51:05

51:05

Your pleasure is a superpower. Not metaphorically. Actually. And I'm not just talking orgasms and clitoral stimulation, though that's certainly a huge pathway to pleasure. Instead I mean, connecting to what feels good - uniquely, in your body, to you. And that's different for everyone. But in starting to pay attention to anything that feels good, y…

1
"What's in your tea, today?" (and why the slow medicine of herbal tea is foundational) 42:48

3M ago42:48

42:48

Tea is a foundational form of herbal medicine. Partly because it's the epitome of how "plant medicine is people's medicine" because it's so accessible, inexpensive, and familiar. But also because it's a way we can cultivate real, lasting relationship with the plants. Especially when we work with bulk dried herbs, we see them, smell them, taste them…

1
The healing art + practice of everyday rituals and cultural wellbeing with Sherene Cauley 1:06:06

3M ago1:06:06

1:06:06

I think it's easy to pigeonhole our health - whether that's hormonal, sexual, menstrual or overall health - to being something physical. Like, yes, we need certain foods, lots of fiber, healthy fats, good protein. And yes, we need to be hydrated. And move our bodies. And get outside. And make sure we're pooping. Without those things, we can't actua…

How to restore your core + pelvic floor from postpartum through menopause with Mary Vidal 1:08:12

3M ago1:08:12

1:08:12

I think it's easy to dismiss the importance of core strength as something only for those who are young or oriented to body image. But the truth is, your core is the center of your body. And it's actually a place where a lot of your whole body strength (and overall wellness) radiates from. According to today's guest, Mary Vidal, having a strong core…

1
What is your fertile window? (and how to understand what it's telling you) 44:46

3M ago44:46

44:46

6 days. You're fertile for only 6 days of your entire cycle every month. That's it! I imagine you may have heard that before somewhere, especially if you've been on a fertility journey or practiced Fertility Awareness / cycle tracking in any form. It's probably the most important part of the cycle to be aware of... but what IS it exactly? What's ha…

Your womb is a portal (and other womb mysteries) with Sepideh Hakimzadeh 1:10:24

4M ago1:10:24

1:10:24

What if your womb was a portal? Well, my beautiful friend... it is. Our wombs (and wombspaces - even if you no longer have a womb) are power centers in our body. In many ways, they are the literal seat of our embodied power. And they are also where we create life, experience the life-death-life cycle repeatedly, connect directly to the earth AND ho…

Growing herbs, garden dreaming & the healing power of tending your ecology with Xenia D'Ambrosi 1:04:14

4M ago1:04:14

1:04:14

It's deep winter now. The time of quietude, slow movement, deep nourishment, and dreaming and visioning. And in the case of gardeners, this is often the time of choosing seeds, planning gardens, considering any shifts or changes you might be considering for your landscape, maybe even learning new skills that can serve you next season. So it's the p…

Body Literacy + Birth Control 101: The path to an empowered choice [episode snippets ft Gabrielle Jansen & myself] 56:06

4M ago56:06

56:06

There's a term - body literacy - that's thrown around a lot in Fertility Awareness circles. And it may seem vague, "like, what part of our body are we talking about?" And it's true, you can become literate in any system of your body, technically. BUT your menstrual cycle is a window into your whole health - and has even been considered a fifth vita…

Womb tending, clearing + healing [with Chaya Leia Aronson, Sondra Hamilton + Dr Emily Wilson] 54:45

4M ago54:45

54:45

Your womb is a place of power, pleasure and possibility. AND it's also a place where we tend to hold deep seated fears, imbalances and trauma - whether physical or energetic. I've decided to take a couple week break on new content creation for the podcast, and instead of just ghosting you, be more creative and intentional in the break time. In this…

What are the rites of passage in your womb story? And how to honor them 46:17

4M ago46:17

46:17

Okay, so most of us DO honor pregnancy and birth in a way that could be considered to be a rite of passage. We have blessingways, baby showers, even postpartum care. But what about all the other pivotal moments of our womb story that we pass through? The truth is, honoring these transitional times is part of many ancestral traditions. It’s not some…

Human Design + Sexuality? What your chart says about sex, boundaries and relationships with Cara Dempsey 1:12:09

5M ago1:12:09

1:12:09

I know, I know... Human Design? What could a system that reads more like an astrological birth chart mixed with the I Ching and Chakras have to do with our sexuality or relationships? It's a fair question, and one I had, too. But today's guest, Cara Dempsey, shares about how learning Human Design (and especially understanding what her "Sacral Inner…

Reclaim your cervix! From “down there” to a source of power, pleasure + possibility 38:04

5M ago38:04

38:04

What comes up when you think of your cervix? Is it images of a sterile healthcare office where you're getting a pap-smear (and all the complicated emotions that come up around that)? The common concerns around HPV, abnormal paps and even cervical cancer can run rampant in our minds. So perhaps, thinking about your cervix brings up some fear or disc…

Nourish your nervous system with Ayurvedic wisdom (aka how to tame Vata dosha) with Kristen Timchak 1:08:21

5M ago1:08:21

1:08:21

Stress, depletion, burnout, frazzled nerves, anxiety, lack of focus, spaciness, groundlessness. What do all of these have in common? Vata. If you're familiar with Ayurveda, you'll know there are three primary "doshas," or collections of elemental characteristics that describe qualities of a person. But they aren't static. I think sometimes people g…

Calming carminatives? Herbs to help ease gas, bloating, spasms when you're stressed, anxious or irritated 1:03:15

5M ago1:03:15

1:03:15

I think many of us just accept the discomfort we have in our guts without question. I was talking to a client recently and I actively had to ask her if she ever notices any symptoms after eating for her to remember that she commonly experiences sharp pain in her belly and doesn't know why. The fact that it wasn't top of mind for her because she's j…

How to tend "the root of your body" postpartum and beyond with Dr Rebecca Cohen 1:07:41

6M ago1:07:41

1:07:41

After birth, our bodies are especially tender and rather "blown open." Not only has a babe passed through either your perineum or your belly, but your spirit has been expanded tremendously, too. And unfortunately, most of us have NO IDEA how to effectively tend "to the root of our bodies" as today's guest, MD-turned-holistic-midwife (and mother of …

Tending your physical and emotional heart with herbs and other practices 1:03:06

6M ago1:03:06

1:03:06

Oh, our hearts! I'm not sure if you're feeling it, but everywhere I look I'm seeing yet another person share about how they're feeling heartbroken, or how these times are heartbreaking. The collective field is full of grief, loss, shock, confusion, and meanwhile we're also all living our lives, attempting to go about our days "as usual." When our h…

The womb, the mesentery & returning home to your body with Abigail Rose Clarke 1:06:39

6M ago1:06:39

1:06:39

What the heck is the mesentery? And why does it matter to you, anyway? Okay, so I know not all of us are anatomy nerds, and we don't commonly get excited to hear about anatomical structures, but this one... well, it's worth checking out. Partly because it's deeply intertwined with all of your belly organs, partly because it has an intimate relation…

How to trust your body (+ your cycle) in times of uncertainty 51:29

6M ago51:29

51:29

How do you navigate uncertainty - in your body, in your mind, in your life? I think it's easy to fall into patterns of avoidance or not facing what's hard, especially when that requires us to feel big emotions or actually respond to what we're feeling with some kind of action. This is just as true with worldly events like we're witnessing now as it…

1
Where menstrual cycle archetypes + nature connection practices overlap with Bri Martinez 1:04:55

7M ago1:04:55

1:04:55

We hear a lot about the gifts and benefits of each of our cycle phases, but what we don't commonly explore are the shadow sides of those times. And whether it's our menstrual cycles or even our womb phases we travel through during our lives, it's helpful to know what to look out for that might be a sign of imbalance. Not so much physically, but fro…

Non-hormonal birth control? 5 options for you (even if you have irregular cycles, are postpartum or perimenopausal) 58:32

7M ago58:32

58:32

Okay, so why does it seem like hormonal birth control has become front and center as "the most effective" contraception? Somehow it seems like in the last few decades, non-hormonal birth control has fallen out of favor. Maybe because it's too simple? Maybe because there isn't enough money in it? It can feel scary to transition off of hormonal birth…

Return to wholeness with your womb + the plants at the center with Robin Rose Bennett 1:05:14

7M ago1:05:14

1:05:14

What does it mean to become fully yourself? And how can the plants and your womb help with that? These are questions that are not as straightforward as they seem. Really, each of us carries our own unique blueprint and gifts that we can offer to the world. And beginning to connect with that inner knowing, the place inside you that whispers that you…

How to Ease into Autumn: Herbs & traditional practices to support this seasonal transition in your body + mind 44:54

7M ago44:54

44:54

Have you noticed how many people acknowledge the seasonal transition from summer to autumn? It's one of the most talked about events-of-the-year. Maybe that's because it's such a dramatic change. The vibrant heat and buoyancy of summer give way to the brilliant display of color and shedding of leaves on trees, and the return to the earth of many an…

From pelvic pain to enhancing sexual pleasure (the essentials of pelvic health) with Laura Rowan 1:02:16

7M ago1:02:16

1:02:16

What happens when the goal is not just to reduce pain or remedy a pelvic health "disorder", but actually to prioritize pleasure? What if it was possible to actually feel safe in your body, to listen to yourself, to gently ease into what authentically feels good for you... one step at a time. It's tremendously easy to feel shame around any kind of h…

The many gifts of Ashwagandha: An herb to restore, replenish & optimize hormonal health and beyond 1:07:28

8M ago1:07:28

1:07:28

Oh, Ashwagandha. An herb that almost every single one of us have heard of - at least by name, if not because we've used it at some point along the way. A real celebrity of the plant world. And a true favorite among herbalists, too. Before I share more, just take a moment to think about what you already know about this plant. My guess is you probabl…

Acupressure for Pregnancy, Birth + Postpartum with Sarah Tewhey 59:48

8M ago59:48

59:48

Have you explored acupressure at all? I think most of us know that acupuncture has a lot of potential benefit, and perhaps you've heard of how supportive it is for enhancing fertility and/or as an adjunct to fertility treatments like IVF or IUI. But something less well known is that acupressure is a modality unto itself, which at times can be as ef…

Herbal allies for transitioning off hormonal birth control 1:05:09

8M ago1:05:09

1:05:09

Have you ever wondered what herbs may be supportive for the transition from hormonal birth control to natural cycles again? It's actually not something that's talked about much. But herbs can be wonderful allies to help cultivate an optimal foundation for our sex hormones to begin circulating naturally again, both for overall system support and sym…

What is astro-herbalism? (+ how mugwort prevented a hysterectomy) with Andrea Webb 1:19:18

8M ago1:19:18

1:19:18

How does herbalism relate to astrology? I mean, what can the stars possibly have to do with the plants? Aren't they totally different disciplines? These are such good questions. And honestly, I didn't even hear about the ancient practice of astro-herbalism until about ten years ago when I took a course on it. Turns out western herbalism was actuall…

Late summer medicine making for hormonal health & beyond: Herbal vinegars, oxymels and shrubs 56:13

9M ago56:13

56:13

Late summer has arrived, and with it a sense of fall coming soon. In the earth, in our bodies. As folks with wombs, we're intimately connected with the seasons outside of us. And it's in this late summer season we can start to feel an urgency or desire to both relish in the abundance and joy of summer in all its glory, and also store and preserve o…

Deep restorative postpartum care (+ some real deal birth stories) with Rachael Hollinger 1:09:04

9M ago1:09:04

1:09:04

So many of us spend days, weeks, months researching and taking classes, preparing ourselves for the event of childbirth. Because it feels mysterious and miraculous and like something we need to train for. And that makes sense. It's a huge milestone unlike any other in our lives. But what about the tremendous transformation that occurs the moment yo…

Cultivating Receptivity: The art & practice of easeful softening for optimal fertility, sensual pleasure & womb health 58:49

9M ago58:49

58:49

What is receptivity? And how does it relate to our wombspace? In the world of gynecologic health, the concept of a receptive womb is all but left to the scientific research articles talking about encouraging an optimal uterine lining so potential implantation can occur. And while that is absolutely important (of course having a robust and nutrient-…

"May I admire you?" Simple ways to connect with plants wherever you are with Liz Neves 1:06:18

9M ago1:06:18

1:06:18

"Communicating with plants" can feel mysterious, especially if you're new to it. And really, what does it mean to connect with them? How do you cultivate a relationship beyond knowing their name and potential ways to work with them? What happens when we start to weave ourselves back into the story of the landscape, and recognize that plants are act…

How can myofascial release support your breasts, chest or pelvic bowl? An embodied perspective with Lindsay Courcelle 1:13:33

10M ago1:13:33

1:13:33

Have you heard of fascia? It's become a bit of a trending topic, but in case it's new to you, just know that it's a form of connective tissue that connects everything to everything in your body. I'm actually not exaggerating. It's basically the matrix that covers every organ, bone, muscle, and tissue and connects them to each other. And in living b…

What's the deal with phytoestrogens? A current look at the benefits, risks & questions around these plant allies 52:27

10M ago52:27

52:27

Phytoestrogens... What are they? How do they work? Are they helpful or harmful? Honestly, these questions are more complicated to answer than they seem, even though researchers have been diving into this topic for decades. In the end, the basics are that phytoestrogens are plant-derived compounds that act similarly to estrogens in our bodies. But t…

Breathwork, body image + disordered eating: A simple practice to change your self-perception with Liz Harris 1:08:33

10M ago1:08:33

1:08:33

Breath. How can such a simple, unassuming practice that happens automatically every few seconds be such a powerful ally in changing our body, our mind, our emotions, and more? I'm sure you've experienced it. You've noticed how your breath quickens and seems to be bursting out of your chest when you're in a panic moment. Or you've noticed that deep …

How to cool the summer heat in your body (with herbs, foods and other simple practices) 1:04:07

1:04:07

It's summa summa summa-time! Summer solstice is upon us and the heat is kicking in. Have you ever noticed how your body responds to the summer heat? For those of us with more fire physically and mentally, the heat can aggravate some of our symptoms or create new ones altogether. For others, the summer heat can be very balanced and welcome. But eith…

Cyclical movement? How to align your exercise with the phases of your menstrual cycle with Tara Lynn Steele 56:29

11M ago56:29

56:29

Have you explored the world of cycle synching at all? It's a concept that's been developed and popularized really over the past decade or so by some menstrual health influencers, but the truth is they were just tuning in to what our bodies already tell us. The basics are that each phase of our cycles (menstrual, follicular, ovulatory and luteal) ar…

Weaving the ancestral thread: How to connect with your womb + herbal healing lineages 45:06

11M ago45:06

45:06

Have you explored the herbal lineages of your ancestral lines? Most of us come to plant medicine learning either the plants around us (which is a wonderful way to begin!) or studying a particular tradition (western, Chinese, Ayurveda, or a specific regional medicinal practice). But at this point in history, most of us have become pretty disconnecte…

Aromatherapy basics to enhance your libido, sensual + sexual energy with Amy Anthony 1:06:18

11M ago1:06:18

1:06:18

Have you ever noticed that you feel turned on by certain scents? Or even just noticed a relaxation response from lavender, or a stimulating energy from rosemary? Aromatherapy is both a simple practice accessible to all of us and a more advanced therapeutic modality that can take a lifetime to study. But the basic concept is that the volatile oils o…

Is it perimenopause or...? Get the basics on this transitional time of your life 1:06:43

11M ago1:06:43

1:06:43

Can we just talk about how wholly unprepared most of us are for this massive transitional time in our lives? It's one of those things we often don't talk about until it starts happening. And even while it's happening you might feel shame about having symptoms like insomnia, mood swings, hot flashes, changes in libido, skin, metabolism or your cycle…
