Today, on the podcast, we have an incredibly special episode inspired by Natalie’s birthday ceremony co-created by her and Madeline. Madeline, who was on a previous episode of the podcast weaving her rites of passage stories, is a skilled and intuitive facilitator of these rites and both her and Natalie are passionate about bringing them back into a modern context to help communities come together and people heal. This episode is history meets transmission meets story meets the practical ways you can bring ceremony into your life. Considering this entire podcast is about honoring rites of passage, this episode seems especially important and we hope it is one you come back to often!

Today, on the podcast, we have an episode absolutely steeped in Ayurvedic and Motherhood wisdom with Christine Eck. Christine is the founder of The Center for Sacred Window Studies, an educational program for nourishing postpartum care inspired by Ayurvedic principles as well as a mother to 4 children. Some of my favorite topics of conversation in this episode are how as women, we are always walking with life and death within us, how incredibly powerful that makes us, and the vital importance of honoring postpartum as a sacred window for rest that nourishes mothers for a lifetime. You’ll have to tune in to hear the rest, but this is one you will not want to miss!

Moon Cycle Mastery is LIVE! To celebrate my complete guide to healing period pain, PMS and more naturally, I’ve released the first video in the Nourishment phase of the protocol to give you a taste of my approach. In this personal testimony, I share the different phases I moved through with my relationship to food and nourishment - everything from the standard American diet to veganism to ancestral eating and what I am learning about the true nature of nourishment now. I even share a little bit about how my hands turning yellow made me realize something was up and how I restored my absent ovulation! I hope you tune in and enjoy my unfiltered thoughts and personal journey in regards to one of the most important aspects of our hormonal physiology as women - Nourishment!

Your Period Prep Guide
https://www.moonbabymagic.com/herbal-shop/p/your-period-prep-guide
Today, on the podcast, we’re joined by the beautiful Lindsay Courcelle who is a mother, myofascial bodyworker, and intuitive woman whose story is a powerful reminder of how healing the body can open the soul’s capacity to actualize a life of purpose and joy. In this tender and deeply embodied conversation, we talk about everything from long breastfeeding journeys and 42+ week pregnancies to the grief of a teenage abortion and how that energy lived in her body for years before finally being witnessed and healed.
Lindsay shares how a challenging first birth cracked open her need to meet herself with more softness, how cervical dysplasia and an IUD opened the door to natural healing, and how each pregnancy invited her to heal something deeper - from self-worth to stability to relational wounds. We also explore the wild wisdom of the pelvic bowl, the science behind fascia and consciousness, and what it means to truly alchemize our trauma into the way we serve the world. This one is rich, layered, and a must-listen for anyone on the path of coming home to themselves.

Today, on the podcast, I am joined by one of my favorite people, Sydni Sands! Sydni and I joke that we are oftentimes too much alike for our own good, but I think it makes for an incredibly rich, soulful and silly conversation. In this episode, we dive into what it means to live from devotion rather than disciple. Syd and I share the many ways we have let go of rigid belief structures and identities in favor of truth and having a full spectrum human experience. Think everything from using shampoo again or enjoying a beer now and then to raw and honest stories of the real life experiences that have changed us. I think you’ll love this one for sacred and silly girlfriend energy.

Today, on the podcast, we have a sweet and simple episode with Dariya, a woman who has let nature and instinct guide her on the path from Maiden to Mother and more. You’ll hear all about how Dariya went from chronically unwell and being 50lbs overweight to being healthy, vital, and pregnant - and having an easeful pregnancy and postpartum! She shares about her journey with on demand breastfeeding (and the secret to having the best breastmilk), Elimination Communication because it just made physiological sense, and having an easy peasy first postpartum period. Throughout the episode, the theme of being open and available to all of life, even the hard and challenging parts, is woven in to inspire women to embrace their softness and their strength. I know you are going to love this episode!

Vaginal, womb or yoni steaming may have been popularized by modern wellness influencers, but your ancestors probably sat over a pot of steam when they got their first periods, after giving birth, to support the transition into menopause and for any cycle-related condition that popped up in between. In this episode, I break down one of the self-care practices I get the most questions about and by the end, I think you will understand why it should be part of your repertoire too!

Your Period Prep Guide
https://www.moonbabymagic.com/herbal-shop/p/your-period-prep-guide
Today, on the podcast, we have an episode with a truly inspirational woman, Yvonne Stoop. Yvonne is a mother of three and an ecstatic birth mentor. Originally from the Netherlands, Yvonne grew up in an environment where being open about menstruation and sexuality was the norm, which is a stark contrast to the very conservative culture she now lives within in Dubai. In this giggly-Follicular phase conversation we dive into everything from Yvonne’s first bleed to meeting her husband at just 17 years old and her non-conventional path to healing Candida. You’ll hear Yvonne’s vulnerable and beautiful transformation from really grieving her free-spirited travel-obsessed maiden years at the beginning of her first pregnancy all the way to her third Ecstatic free birth. Tune into this conversation to get the answer to the question everyone is asking.- is it really possible to have an orgasmic birth?

Today, on the podcast, we have a truly inspirational woman who I know you will just love - Karma! She joins us to share her incredible journey that has spanned over many years, focusing on healing her womb and overall health through traditional midwifery practices, internal vaginal massage, and substantial dietary changes, which many of you will likely relate to. She describes how a dramatic shift occurred after a seemingly unfortunate fall, which ultimately reset her uterus to its optimal alignment, relieving years of debilitating period pain. The conversation also delves into emotional healing, the hard work of separating from who you thought was your life partner, and the profound impact of sisterhood. As she moves forward, Karma emphasizes the importance of self-trust, self-compassion, and financial stability, adding to her mission of supporting women across all life stages. Tune in for a truly nourishing chat between two women who are willing to get real with you.

Karma’s Bio:
Karma is a woman who wears many hats but always with the intention of supporting and honoring women in all phases of the female continuum.
She offers education, workshops, witnessing and guidance for women regarding menstruation, preconception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and everything that comes with those rites-of-passage.
Karma also offers grounded and rooted teachings to women when it comes to financial wellness, generational wealth and legacy creation, working as a Financial Midwife.
And lastly, Karma is rebooting her podcast, Freebirthing in Color, in the coming months and is excited to continue supporting traditionally as a Midwife, for women and money!
Today, on the podcast, we have the incredible Emma Gilligan, a personal trainer and cycle-based body image content creator to discuss the importance of understanding the menstrual cycle and its impact on women's health, fitness, and body image. Emma, well-known for her informative and humorous content on social media, shares insights into how women can track and adapt their workouts and nutrition according to the different phases of their cycle. The conversation touches on Emma's personal experiences with hormonal contraceptives, the impact of breast implants on her health, and her journey to prioritizing cycle-based wellness while she continues to heal her own cycle imbalances. Emma emphasizes the importance of planning ahead and tailoring one's lifestyle to support the body's natural rhythms. Tune into this one for an episode bringing you the realness of what it means to be in a female body (lower tummy bump included!) from two cycle-obsessed women.

Today begins a new series of shorter solo episodes! On this one, I share my personal journey and insights on living a womb-led life. We get into the importance of honoring your womb’s voice and the essence of cyclical living. I share a personal story about a recent relationship experience in Colombia and how listening to my womb's intuition guided her decisions. We also delve into how to tune into the body's wisdom, especially during the luteal phase and menstruation, and why intuition is strongest during these times. Learn practical tips on how to build trust with your body's signals and integrate this wisdom into daily life.

Your Period Prep Guide
https://www.moonbabymagic.com/herbal-shop/p/your-period-prep-guide
In this episode, Charlotte shares her powerful journey of reclaiming her body and sexuality after a traumatic sexual experience. As a sexual trauma survivor, yoni massage therapist, embodiment leader, and Aquarius rising, Charlotte has dedicated the last eight years to reclaiming her sense of safety and helping hundreds of other women do the same. She discusses the significance of her menstrual cycle, specifically her bleed, in her healing process and offers potent wisdom into developing a deep, consent-based relationship with one's body. The conversation touches on the themes of embodiment, claiming the forbidden female archetypes, and why she doesn’t love the word “healing.” Charlotte's work culminates in her 'Wet and Worthy Woman Method,' which aims to help women reclaim the suppressed and silenced parts of their womanhood. You’ll absolutely love the open, raw, honest, and fun conversation between Charlotte and I, two new friends!

Today is the one year anniversary of the Moon Baby Magic podcast, and in honor of that, today on the podcast, we have…. Me! Wow, women, what a wonderful year it has been and I finally felt resourced and ready to share my own Blood Mysteries Story. In this deeply personal episode, I reflect on how this podcast has been a bigger soul mission than I ever could have imagined and how deeply it has called me into my purpose and changed my life. My story is one characterized by constant change and evolution (like my spirit animal, the snake!), the influence of incredible female friendships, and the unshakeable voice of my womb always guiding me into my highest expansion. My way of storytelling is laidback, freely emotional, and without holding back. This episode is a vulnerable heart share and I am so honored to let you all into the story of my life! Happy listening and welcome to my own personal myth woven with the insights I have picked up along the way.

Today, on the podcast, we have my dear friend Madeline's deeply transformative story. Madeline shares her initiation into the mysteries of womanhood, from her early excitement about menstruation to navigating her teenage years on birth control and SSRIs. Her journey takes a profound turn as she prepares consciously for conception after years of working in the world of birth, postpartum and even conscious CONTRAception (funny story with this one you’ll want to hear!) guided deeply by her intuition and ancestral connection. She details her intense experience with pregnancy, and the heart-wrenching realization of her baby's death. Madeline's narrative continues through her ceremonial preparation for and experience of her early birth, ultimately leading her to a deep integration of grief and wisdom. The episode concludes with Madeline embracing her role as a childless mother, offering profound wisdom on life, death and rites of passages as well as celebrating the alchemical transformation of her journey. This one has been a long time coming and Madeline’s way of weaving story will truly transport you - you won’t want to miss it!

Today, on the podcast, we have an incredibly special episode with a woman whose work has personally changed my life. Jasmine Rose is a ceremonial bodyworker and woman of the womb who has spent the last nearly decade of her life devotedly tending to her Body, Blood and Womb in a way that the word reverential does not even do justice. Deeply informed by her year of bleeding thick black blood and her seven year conscious conception journey, Jasmine speaks beautifully to the energy of aligning to the frequency of Mother and treating her Blood as the most sacred of medicines. We touch on remembering the Mother Tongue of your body, imprinting young girls with love for their bodies and blood, and embodied generational healing. Jasmine has such a poetic way of weaving physiology and mystery into telling her story - you will be absolutely enthralled. This is a true gem of an episode that is not to be missed!
