From Corporate to Circle: What It Really Takes to Lead Women's Healing Spaces

You Need to Be a B*tch to Not Get Sick with Dr. Sarah Campbell

What if the reason so many women are chronically sick isn't just physical? If you've ever held in your anger, tried to find the more 'spiritual' route, or bypassed your way to indifference… you'll want to give this one a listen. In this rich episode with Dr. Sarah Campbell, we sit down and explore how our beliefs influence our health, how to finally belong to ourselves, and how to stop outsourcing our sense of safety. Dr. Sarah Campbell is a root cause medicine practitioner, mind-body medicine specialist, and creator of the Root Cause Academy. She developed an autoimmune disease in 2021, and what she discovered on the other side completely changed how she practices medicine and how she understands why certain women get sick. In this episode, we covered… 00:06:21 - The specific archetype of woman who develops autoimmune disease, and why. 00:07:55 - How unmet childhood needs become the invisible constraints running your adult life. 00:09:07 - Why nervous system regulation work alone will never be enough. 00:11:04 - What's actually happening when you keep looking for safety outside yourself. 00:41:32 - The direct link between your relationship with anger and your relationship with boundaries. 00:44:22 - What's underneath rage that most people never touch - and why that matters. 00:47:50 - The fear that stops women from going into their emotions, and why it isn't true. 00:48:36 - The difference between understanding your trauma and actually healing it. 00:59:23 - Why affirmations don't work for most people, and what to do instead. 01:01:59 - Dr. Sarah's take on the "low vibration creates disease" narrative circulating in wellness spaces. 01:04:26 - A reframe of chronic illness that might be hard to hear - and might also change everything. 01:16:16 - The two things Dr. Sarah says are non-negotiable for healing anxiety at its root. 01:19:09 - Why believing in something bigger than yourself isn't spiritual - it's physiological.

Motherhood as Ego Death: Postpartum, Grief & Repair with Rachelle Seliga

This conversation with Rachelle Seliga is one of the most important I've ever recorded. I came into this episode feeling activated - because postpartum was one of the hardest, most disorienting thresholds of my life. I got pregnant during COVID, gave birth in deep isolation, and despite years as a doula and womb health educator, postpartum broke me open in ways I never anticipated. Rachelle and I speak honestly about what postpartum actually is, why six weeks was never enough, and why so many of us are still carrying grief from a time that was never properly held. In our conversation, we talked about: * 00:00 - Introduction & why postpartum was the most activating threshold of Usha's life * 01:19 - Why postpartum is an imprint for the mother, baby, and family system * 05:31 - How long is postpartum, really? Six weeks, three months, nine months, three years, all of life * 11:19 - Co-sleeping, nervous system tracking, and when separation happens on the child's terms * 20:09 - Grief and repair when postpartum was never properly held * 28:50 - Postpartum depression, postpartum psychosis, and the power of social support as the real preventative * 30:59 - The fracture between maidens and mothers, and why everyone is responsible for supporting mothers * 36:16 - The father's role in postpartum and why a partner was never meant to be a village * 50:58 - How to build community and real support in the modern world, practically * 1:19:22 - How unprocessed material in the mother manifests in the child's body, and why treating the mother heals the child This episode is not polished. It's a real invitation to grieve what was never given, stop pretending motherhood is meant to be endured alone, and to meet postpartum - and womanhood - with the reverence it deserves. If you've ever felt undone by motherhood… this conversation is for you.

Erotic Liberation: Healing Sexual Shame Without Losing Yourself with The Libido Fairy

I recently sat down with somatic sex educator and relationship expert Hannah Johnson (The Libido Fairy) to face something that still stirs so much discomfort in me: my own sexuality. Despite years of teaching womb health, sex has remained a largely private and unspoken topic in public work for me. Growing up in a Catholic household where my body and sexual expression were shamed, I share how early conditioning shaped my relationship to pleasure, desire, and visibility. Here's what you can expect… 00:00 - Why sex is still so hard to talk about 03:40 - The anatomy lesson: why women often don't orgasm during sex 08:13 - Knowing your own body before expecting a partner to 12:40 - Live somatic session: working through sexual shame in real time 17:00 - "If I step into my power, I'll lose everyone I love" 26:00 - Why repressing desire makes it stronger, not weaker 33:00 - What self-forgiveness after sexual trauma actually looks like 37:21 - Why women's libido is tied to emotional connection 41:47 - Mismatched libido affects 80% of couples - what to do 01:02:24 - Using fantasy, kink, and imagination to heal and connect I share personal stories of early sexual exploration, confusion, and the long journey toward understanding my own anatomy and pleasure. Hannah reframes sexual self-knowledge as empowerment, agency, and liberation - encouraging women to reclaim pleasure without waiting to be "rescued." The conversation moves into a live somatic exploration, where Hannah gently guides me through body-based inquiry around sexual power, fear, and safety. This episode is an invitation to release shame, reclaim aliveness, and remember that sexual energy, creativity, joy, and power all come from the same source.
