Ep. 11 Empowered birth starts with informed choice | Lyanne Pinto

I sit down with former midwife and birth advocate Lyanne Pinto for a powerful conversation about birth, informed choice, intuition, and reclaiming trust in the female body. With over 18 years attending births and 13 years working as a midwife, Lyanne shares her perspective on how modern birth culture has become deeply rooted in fear, disconnection, and over-medicalization — and why women deserve better education, deeper support, and true informed choice throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. We talk about empowered birth, nervous system regulation, the connection between the voice and the womb, advocating for yourself within the healthcare system, and how women can reconnect to their intuition and inner knowing during one of the most transformative experiences of their lives. This conversation is raw, honest, empowering, and deeply validating for any woman navigating pregnancy, motherhood, or her relationship with her body.

Ep. 10 Own your Erotic Energy

In this episode of Embodi Your Wild, I dive into what erotic energy actually is — beyond sex, beyond seduction, beyond performative femininity. When most people hear the word “erotic,” they immediately think of sex, porn, or being desirable for someone else. But erotic energy is so much deeper than that. It’s your life force. Your creativity. Your aliveness. Your pleasure. Your voice. Your boundaries. Your power. This episode is about reconnecting to the current that lives inside your body and reclaiming the parts of yourself that may have been buried under stress, overgiving, shame, people-pleasing, burnout, trauma, and disconnection. I also guide you through a grounding embodiment practice to help you connect to your womb, your body, and your own erotic energy in a deeper way. 🌹 IN THIS EPISODE I TALK ABOUT: * What erotic energy actually is * The difference between erotic energy & sexual energy * Why so many women feel disconnected from themselves * How stress, trauma & overgiving disconnect us from the body * Erotic energy as creativity, life force & expansion * Boundaries, identity & energetic protection * The connection between pleasure, pain & sensation * Why pleasure is our birthright * How erotic energy impacts money, creativity & self-worth * Cycles, nervous system regulation & feminine energy * Learning to trust your body’s “full body yes” and “full body no” * Reconnecting to yourself through embodiment practices 🔥 RETREAT Embodi Your Wild Women’s Retreat A deeper, witchier, more embodied weekend experience for women ready to reconnect to themselves through movement, shadow work, somatics, sisterhood, rest, sensuality, and nature.

Ep. 9 Two suitcases, a pole & womb work | EmbodiPole Coach Erika

In this episode of Embodi Your Wild, I sit down with EmbodiPole Coach Erika to explore her journey from Mexico to Canada with nothing but two suitcases and her pole… and how movement became medicine through some of the biggest transitions of her life. We dive into embodiment, womb work, birth, menstrual cycle awareness, voice activation, and the powerful connection between the body, movement, and healing. Erika shares how pole supported her through heartbreak, isolation during the pandemic, and finding home within herself while also stepping into her work as a doula and women’s health educator. This conversation is a reminder that the body holds wisdom… and when women feel safe enough to soften, express, and listen inward, transformation happens. What We Explore: * Erika’s move from Mexico to Canada * How pole became medicine through life transitions * The evolution from acrobatic pole to embodiment & flow * Becoming a doula and supporting women through birth * The connection between voice, sound & the womb * Why women are so disconnected from their bodies * Menstrual cycle awareness & reconnecting to feminine rhythms * The importance of community and safe spaces for women * Embodiment as a pathway to healing, pleasure & self-expression * The “Wild Womban” energy and learning to trust the body 🔥 CONNECT WITH KAROLYNE Instagram: @itsmekarolyne @embodipole Learn more about EmbodiPole: www.embodipole.com [http://www.embodipole.com]

Ep. 8 The magick of the Dark Feminine | Crimson Minx

I am reuniting with Crimson Minx, the creatrix of Esoeroticism, a movement modality alchemizing erotic dance with esoteric magick. From pushing her body to the brink for pole tricks to burning it all down to surrender to the Dark Feminine, Crimson shares her journey to true erotic liberation. We discuss alchemizing womb shame, why your body is a sacred portal, and how to stop performing your sensuality and start embodying your sovereign power. What We Explore: * Masculinizing the Pole: Why we get trapped in the hustle of skill acquisition and how to transition into deep, body-led movement. * The True Dark Feminine: Debunking aesthetic myths to understand how this repressed energy actually gives us our boundaries and raw power. * Erotic vs. Sexual Energy: The profound difference between self-sourced, autonomous erotic energy (just for you) and sexual energy directed toward a partner. * Cosmic Burn-Downs: How astrological portals like the Uranus Opposition trigger the courage to burn everything down and rebrand your identity. * Alchemizing Womb Shame: Returning shame to where it belongs and using the darkness of the womb for endless creative potential.

Welcome to the Embody Your Wild podcast! Today, we are sitting down with EmbodiPole Coach Jenn for a masterclass in what happens when you stop ignoring the pull of your desires. From navigating the energetic boundaries of a strip club backroom to holding potent space in sacred cacao ceremonies, Jenn shares exactly what it looks like to untame your life.
