Absent Periods, Acne, + Fertility Fears with S.

Absent Periods, Acne, + Fertility Fears with S.

PURCHASE THE NATURAL BIRTH CONTROL SERIES COURSE

Today’s episode with my guest S. is the final installment of the ongoing mini-series about women’s birth control stories. From the pill to injections to IUDs, we explore the commonalities between our shared experiences of returning to the medicine of womanhood.

In this episode we get into:

  • How her experience of disordered eating as a teen led to her being put on the pill in order to “regulate” her absent menstrual cycle
  • Her first attempt at transitioning off of hormonal birth control and the severe health implications that she experienced due to the hormonal imbalances
  • Why she decided to get back on the pill out of desperation to resolve her extreme chronic acne and the education and preparation that she underwent in order to eventually transition off of it again
  • Moving through her deep fears and grief around not believing that she would ever be able to become a mother
  • How she eventually ended up getting pregnant (to her pleasant surprise!) without having ever experienced a real bleed

Birth Imprints Us for Life with Luka Barba

LEARN MORE ABOUT THE NATURAL BIRTH CONTROL SERIES — STARTING OCTOBER 5

In this week’s episode I share my tender and illuminating conversation with one of my teachers, Luka Barba of Deeply Rooted Healing Traditions.

Luka serves the women and families of her community by providing the traditional care so often absent during the powerfully transformative postpartum period. At the foundation of her work is a focus on generational and lineage healing as she helps clients integrate and somatically process birth imprints (also referred to as birth trauma). Integrating these experiences allows individuals to avoid passing traumatic experiences forward into their future experiences as well as into future generations.


In this conversation we dive into:

  • What is a birth imprint and how does it impact the way that we develop, evolve, and move through the world
  • How we can call awareness of our birth imprints to the surface in order to re-pattern our psyches, nervous systems, and soul paths
  • The importance of integrating and taking consciousness of your own birth story in preparation for a future motherhood portal + pregnancy journey
  • The intergenerational trauma of infant male circumcision and the cultural reckoning that is being called for in order to protect the psycho-sexuality dignity of our baby boys
  • The necessity for birth workers to address their own birth imprints before stepping into the birth field with the families that they are serving


May this episode help you open the door of your own birth story and support you in the intergenerational healing that blossoms when we bring our birth imprints into conscious awareness

The Responsibility of Feminine Guardianship with Briana Georjae

In this tenderly psychedelic episode I share my conversation with a dear sister and fellow traveler of the cosmos, Briana Georjae.Briana serves from the critical need to preserve and foster the innate intelligence of women’s bodies. Within a traditional, intuitive and woman-led container, she offers herbal consultations, holistic womb care, psychedelic integration and doula services.

In this episode we get into:

  • How her early journey with addiction awakened her path of health sovereignty and personal autonomy
  • The various cultures, traditions, lineages, and teachings that she has interwoven and learned from on her path
  • How her childhood in the Black Baptist Church offered her a model of guardianship and spiritual containment that eventually fed into her work in ceremonial plant medicine spaces
  • Why she eventually took a step back from plant medicine work into order to deepen into her path with women’s wisdom, birth keeping, and reproductive health
  • Who is “allowed” to call themselves a guardian, facilitator, space holder, etc. and the level of self-inquiry that is required to walk in true integrity on the path

May this episode support your own sacred journey of inter-dimensional lineage weaving and ceremonial magic!

    The Long-Term Impacts of Childhood Sexual Abuse with Clementine Morrigan

    In today’s episode I share my conversation with the uncancellable, unfuckwithable, unbreakable Clementine Morrigan. Clementine is a writer, zinester, podcaster, and literary punk based in Montreal, Canada. She is well known for her unflinching approach to deep and difficult topics including (but not limited to) surviving incest and other forms of trauma, trauma informed polyamory, bisexual women’s sexuality, opposing cancel culture on the left, and finding compassionate, non-punitive approaches to ending the cycle of violence.

    In this episode we get into:

    • Taking on the role of “cycle breaker” within a family line

    • How childhood sexual abuse and incest impact every member of the family structure and clarifying what “counts” as sexual abuse

    • The long term physical, emotional, mental, relational, sexual, and spiritual impacts of childhood sexual abuse

    • Clementine’s 11 years in Alcohols Anonymous and why she eventually left the program

    • Working with plant medicines to heal the deepest layers of childhood sexual abuse that burrow into our bodies, minds, and spirits

    • The rampant trend of feminist scholars who didn’t protect their own daughters from sexual violence

    • The right for childhood sexual abuse survivors to NOT end up in the sex industry

    This episode is dedicated to late and beloved poet, Andrea Gibson, who spoke openly and courageously about their own experience as a childhood sexual abuse survivor in their writing. As a CSA survivor myself, this conversation holds a very special place in my heart. My highest prayer is that it touches all those who are asking to receive this medicine in their hearts.

    The Serpentine Path
    The Good, the Bad, + the Ugly of Ayahausca

    In today's solo episode I go deep into my beautiful, intense, insane, and highly non-recommended path with the medicine of yagé (aka the Colombian brew of ayahuasca). After sitting in hundreds of ceremonies over the past 4+ years, living in the jungle full-time for 1.5 years, and seeing all sides--the good, the bad, and the ugly--of this medicine, I have quite a few thoughts that I feel can be supportive to those who may be considering walking with this plant at some point in their lives...


    In this episode I get into:

    • How I first found my way to ayahuasca at age 24 and why my path escalated as quickly as it did
    • The reality of walking this path as a woman and how lucky I was to find safe male elders to learn under
    • The dangers of mixing different plant medicines and lineages
    • The importance of working with safe and loving elders who walk with integrity
    • Why I don’t recommend that people follow the path that I walked with this medicine (even though I am grateful for all that I experienced with it)
    • My mixed feelings about ayahuasca retreat centers
    • Who is the kind of person that I feel can benefit from working with this plant


    This episode is dedicated to my late and beloved teachers, abuelo Querubin and abuela Maria. My path with this medicine would not be what it is if I had not met them. My highest prayer is that the teachings that they passed onto me can have a positive impact, in small or big ways, for all those who come across this episode. My story is also partially their story and I am forever grateful for all of the trust, care, love, and orientation that they continue to offer me from the stars.

    Healing with Men Through Family Constellations with Ashanti Cervantes

    In this episode I share my beautiful, life-giving conversation with Ashanti Cervantes. Ashanti is a facilitator of Family Constellations who helps people unravel inherited patterns and return to the truth of who they are. With a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy and a rich background in parts work, relational communication, attachment theory, and masculine/feminine polarity, she brings a deeply attuned approach to healing. Her work is rooted in a practice of presence—allowing what needs to be seen to reveal itself—and the power of love as a transformative force. Ashanti is here to guide others toward more aligned and liberated ways of living.


    In this episode we get into:

    • The four forces of love within of family constellation therapy as a means to restore lost love to a family system
    • Ashanti’s experience of reconnecting with her father after 15 years of separation
    • Learning how to accept men into our lives and to make space in our hearts for their love, protection, and provision
    • Healing our own feminine distortions and recognizing how much damage we are doing to ourselves as women
    • The importance of no longer seeing men as “enemies” or “adversaries”
    • All the subtle, sneaky, imperceptible ways that women consciously and unconsciously emasculate men
    • The biological reason why women set the tone in the relationship and why women hold the power to shift the entire relationship dynamic with men
    • Holding reverence for our own inner masculine and not degrading the yang structure that allows our yin/feminine to flourish


    May this episode help bring you back into loving alignment with the masculine--both internally and externally

    • How birth control impacts our ability to choose a partner that is both biologically and spiritually aligned with us
    • The biological and psycho-spiritual transformations that have to occur throughout a fertility journey in order to call life forth
    • The man’s impact on fertility and a woman’s overall womb health
    • The use of reproductive technologies to circumvent the deeper lineage work and spiritual healing within a family bloodline
    • How we can co-create realities that allow us to move from a place of safety rather than from a place of fear


    Extended episode available to paid subscribers over on Substack!
