Womb Led Woman Podcast

Grief is just like any other emotion that needs to be felt and moved through our bodies in order to be fully processed. Traditional talk therapy only gets us so far...and burying our grief doesn't get us anywhere! Grace Harman, an Embodied Grief Guide and Grief Alchemist helps us to see grief as a sacred, cyclical experience and empowers us to let our bodies be the guides of our grieving process. Whether you're grieving the loss of a loved one, a place, a relationship, an identity, or whatever else...you will gain a new perspective on how to move through grief. We discuss: The grief in Grace's personal life and her intuitive grieving process that led her to this work Grieving rituals and practices in other cultures around the world What other things can we grieve besides the loss of a loved one? Why it's important to grieve in community Where does grief live in the body? Is it different for each unique individual? How can we tell if our body is expressing grief? Do males and females experience grief differently in their bodies? What if you just feel numb? What happens if we DON'T grieve through our bodies? How can we better support a friend/loved one who is grieving?

The more you ignore your body's messages, the louder she will get. This is what Kristen found out after endless health issues kept popping up, including PCOS. Her doctors kept offering pill after pill, which came with more and more side effects, until finally she saw a holistic doctor who worked with Kristen to heal the root cause rather than suppress symptoms. Now, Kristen works with women to connect back to their feminine essence as a trauma informed somatic practitioner and tantric coach with a specialization in sex, love and relationships. We discuss: Kristen's rollercoaster of a journey with PCOS, birth control, and healing many various health issues The art of slowing down (especially for those high achievers and those with lots of natural energy!) When it seems like nothing is going your way...are you listening to the messages from the feminine? A key perspective shift that helped Kristen to stop the cycle of toxic relationships and attract more high vibe partners How to know if we're disconnected from our feminine essence A somatic therapy exercise that anyone can do for themselves to help you move past feeling "stuck" Connect with Kristen: Instagram Website Follow womb.ology and join the bi-monthly email newsletter for more womb wisdom and cyclical living education.

Another panel-style podcast, this time four of us talking about our journeys of struggling with alcohol, going sober, and then eventually re-introducing alcohol back into our lives on our terms, without shame or guilt or worry. We discuss having control vs. wanting control with alcohol, deconstructing dogmatic beliefs around alcohol, and the importance of tuning into our bodies and empowering ourselves with CHOICE rather than militant rules. ***A FLEXIBLE RELATIONSHIP WITH ALCOHOL MAY NOT BE BEST FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.

Today we bring together 5 women with all different religious backgrounds, to discuss how these religions and cultures (or lack of) have shaped and impacted our relationship with ourselves as women, with our wombs, and with our sexuality.  Some had a positive experience, most had a negative experience and left their religion, going on a quest to discover their own values and connection to their bodies.  Tune in to hear how these women have grappled with unwinding the modesty and purity brainwashing, left everything and everyone they know behind to live life on their terms, reconnected with their indigenous roots to find a true sense of self and interconnectedness, and reclaimed the beauty of their wombs and menstrual cycles. Our panelists today: Dana Drahos, your host, was raised atheist, and in her household, religion and religious people were thought of as "dumb". As she got older, she felt a longing to be more connected to others, to something greater than herself, and to have rituals, but didn't want everything that came along with organized patriarchal religion. She now connects though womb work, menstruation rituals, yoni steaming, and nature. Clarissa Gonzalez was raised by a Mexican Jehovah’s Witness and Mexican Catholic, and she denounced Christianity by age 13. She explored spiritualities and religions all around the world until she found the right fit coming back to her Mexican roots, the Toltekati indigenous based practices, which deeply honors the feminine cycles and archetypes.  Zoe Neauchatz was raised in a "hippie" reformed Jewish community in San Francisco, where she actually was taught to explore various belief systems, encouraged to bleed into the earth and ritualize her menstruation, and connect with nature. Aeryn O'Halloran was raised in a cult called the Quiverfull Movement, and moved cross-country to San Diego with her daughter to distance herself and heal from the brainwashing. She is now curious about connecting with her Celtic roots which share many similarities to Native American traditions. Elizabeth Tidwell was raised Mormon, and left the church 5 years ago with her husband and young daughter. Elizabeth continues to release the brainwashing that female bodies are inherently "sinful" and a woman's only purpose is to be a selfless mother, by reclaiming her menstrual cycle and practicing self love.
