Pelvic Care as Whole Woman Care with Alexandra Durrigan

Alexandra Durigan is an RN BSN and Founder of ORIGIN Pelvic Care, having spent her time as a nurse working on a Women’s Specialty Care Unit. During this time Alexandra was a first hand witness to the skyrocketing rates of pelvic disorders, reproductive surgeries, birth trauma, and the health outcomes that take place when there is a lack of true care for women's bodies. Alexandra began to ask the question of “how did we get here”, and set off on a path to discovering “more for our womanhood”. Alexandra’s passion for women’s health led her to the exploration and resurrection of original women’s care. She left Allopathic Care to found her practice ORIGIN Pelvic Care which is hands on Ceremonial Whole Woman Whole Pelvic Care in service to women and the womb, the Origin of life. Alexandra’s work through ORIGIN Pelvic Care serves women in the realms of Sexuality and Pleasure, Reproductive Health, and The Birth Continuum. Alexandra shares that “there was a time before the beginning of allopathic medicine where women and their wombs were richly cared for. Where the importance of nourishing our bodies as women, throughout our lifetime, was cellularly understood and upheld by the collective. A time where women and their wombs were held in reverence by the tribe. Where it was woven through lineage and culture to honor the sacredness of our feminine physiology and life giving bodies. The foundation of my work today is the remembrance of lineage and literacy for our feminine physiology, woven with leading research, science, and ceremony". Her mission through her private Hands On Care Practice and Global Practitioner Teaching Program is in service to a regenerative potential for women and the womb, and a regenerative future of Global Womb Healing. Drop in with Juliana and Alexandra as they muse on pelvic care as the vital whole woman care that is deeply missing in modern health care. In this episode we talk about * The ancient origins of whole body care for women * How this lineage became lost in the advent of allopathic medicine * The importance of reclaiming and recreating language that allows women to have a cohesive understanding of their bodies and pleasure * The vital rites of passage of a woman's life that should be tended and honored and how whole body pelvic care is the antidote to the missing lineage. Alexandra is a deep well of embodied wisdom and it was a true pleasure to get to muse with her.

Psychedelics as Catalysts for Creativity with Laura Dawn

This is Episode 4 of the Boldly Embodied Podcast- Welcome back! Tune in for a lively and inspiring conversation with Juliana Rose and Laura Dawn, keynote speaker, microdosing mentor, and host of The Psychedelic Leadership Podcast. In this episode we dive into Laura Dawn's fascinating work at the intersection of creativity, change leadership, and psychedelic medicines and how she not only teaches on this path but how she lives it. The modern Western narrative about psychedelics is greatly centered around their clinical use as alternative treatments for modern maladies such as anxiety, depression and PTSD. And while this is certainly an important part of the narrative in terms of survival, these medicines can also offer profound insights into connection, pleasure, play, rest, and creativity. These are powerful forces when it comes to thriving as humans. Within each of us is the potential to become the architects of our lives, cultivate the blueprints in our minds, and court the courage that it takes to do what is ours to do in our lifetime. Some key topics in this episode: The intimate parts of Laura Dawn's story that led her to center her work around this fascinating intersection of creativity and psychedelics How important the language we use is in shaping the lenses and narratives through which we understand and relate to psychedelic medicines, and how important it is to take these lenses off and examine them from time to time to re-examine them. Why creativity has been named as one of the most important skillsets of our time and how psychedelics can help us to find a more honest and generous relationship with our own innate creativity in our work, our relationships, and how we design our lives How to connect with the potential within each and every one of us to become the architects of our lives, cultivate the blueprints in our minds, and court the courage that it takes to do what is ours to do in our lifetime.
