Born Free Method: The Podcast

Erin is an author, a guide, and an artist. She is a certified yoga teacher, craniosacral therapist, and entrepreneur. She holds a PhD in Policy, Planning, and Development from the University of Southern California. She studied Political and Social Thought at the University of Virginia, served as the Director of Housing Policy with the Los Angeles Coalition to End Hunger and Homelessness, and the Regional Coordinator for several progressive signature-gathering campaigns in California. Immediately after she graduated with her PhD in 2013, her world split open. She got displaced from two homes in a row in the gentrification rush in Venice, California. She started volunteering with a group that she helped co-create into what is now the non-profit Kiss the Ground, and learned about the relationship between soil health and climate change. She then took several jobs that immediately fell through, and by 2014, she decided to put all of her stuff in storage and go to Bali for yoga teacher training for some self-care. GROUNDED was born on the plane on the way from LA to Bali. Her time in Bali launched my journey into healing, self-discovery, and spirit. Since then, she has continually deepened her studies and practice in the worlds of inner work and the metaphysical. Our relationships to spirit, matter, cycles, love, and storytelling, are the keys to untangling ourselves from patriarchal ways of thinking and birthing the new world. And she never ceases to be humbled by the divine timing and unfolding of her path and GROUNDED’s manifestation in this time and place.[00:17:20] - How do you feel at this time of the year?[00:21:47] - Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine[00:29:25] - Journey with Sexual Liberation and how did you derive so much Healing from this Process[00:49:20] - Traditional Chinese Medicine[00:51:24] - Through the Four Seasons of the Year[00:53:38] - Chakra (the tantric sort of practices)[00:55:47] - How confronting and liberating was it to actually take that plunge?[01:11:44] - My Experience on feeling very Liberated[01:15:45] - Why was it so confronting for you? / Sexual Healing[01:37:32] - What are the lessons of compost?[01:47:58] - Healing power of Grief is not always comfortable[01:50:34] - Love (the creative force of nature of the universe)[02:07:27] - Do you think that our actions as humanity are causing pain?References & Links:Dr. Erin Yu-Juin McMorrow, PHD - Website, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn,Book - GroundedIshmael by Daniel QuinnBraiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall KimmererThe More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible by Charles EisensteinBig thanks to our sponsor!Waveblock: https://www.waveblock.com/ (Use Code “BELOVED” for 10% off)Show Notes | DonateMusic by: Labrinth, Chancha Via Circuito, and Joaquín Cornejo--- Send in a voice message:...

Charles Eisenstein is one of the greatest thinkers of our time. While some of his ideas are controversial, they only feel this way because they force you to confront the inadequacies of the Old Story, the Story of Separation. The majority of Charles' essays and books implore one to embrace the emerging New Story, the Story of Interbeing, that our hearts crave. Charles is the author of several books, including one of my most gifted, "The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible".Addicted to Control [00:10:00]Heart Navigation [00:14:00]Anti-Life [00:30:40]Lens of Participation [00:34:23]Mechanisms and Results [00:39:12]Time to Push [00:42:00]Crossing the Minefield [00:50:00]Gratitude and Abundance [00:55:13]Life Raft of Birth and Death [00:70:00]Links from the show:Charles's booksEssay: The CoronationEssay: Time to PushNew and Ancient Story Online CommunitySupport Charles' work through PatreonUse code BELOVED at checkout for discounts from our partners:5% off at Mitozen Scientific (try the Meditation Mist EO)10% off at BiOptimizers (try their Magnesium Breakthrough)10% off at Heart & Soil (try their Beef Organ capsules)10% off at Essential Oil Wizardry (try their Cosmic Orgasm tincture)(up to) 15% off at Quicksilver Scientific (try their Liver Sauce + Gluthathione detox protocol)15% off at Cymbiotika (try their Liposomal Vitamin C)15% off on The Birth DeckSUPPORT THE SHOWFull show notes available at www.BelovedHolistics.comMusic by: Labrinth, Chancha Via Circuito, and Joaquín Cornejo--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theholisticobgyn/message Get full access to Born Free Method: The Podcast at nathanrileyobgyn.substack.com/subscribe

Liz has been working as a midwife for decades, and a great deal of her work has been within the Amish communities of Northern Pennsylvania and upstate New York. In 2018, she was charged with negligent criminal homicide when a baby - who was born in the hospital - died in the care of that hospital’s staff. In an act of retribution, an anonymous complaint was made by a hospital staff member against Liz, who had been caring for the women while she was laboring at home before recommending transfer to the hospital for birth. She fought these charges for 3 years, and the state ultimately decided to do the right thing and drop the charge. What three things does Liz Catlin want the world to know about caring for women?- Birth is a normal, natural process. As normal as pooping.- Trust a woman's intuition. Explore her gut feelings.- Encourage friendships. No woman is an island.Connect with Liz:- Friends of Elizabeth Catlin Facebook Page- Liz's email: elizabethcatlin@frontiernet.netDONATE HEREFull show notes available at www.BelovedHolistics.comMusic by: Labrinth, Chancha Via Circuito, and Joaquín Cornejo--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theholisticobgyn/message Get full access to Born Free Method: The Podcast at nathanrileyobgyn.substack.com/subscribe

Paul has dedicated his life to standing up for justice and doing the right thing even when it is not popular or easy. Born in Portland, Paul spent most of his childhood in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). He was arrested at age 15 for distributing educational material that was determined by the Rhodesian government to be “revolutionary.” Dr. Paul is known for his ongoing questioning of the evolving CDC and AAP recommended vaccine schedule for children, which he considers excessive based on his and others’ extensive research. In fact, Dr. Paul wrote a best-selling book (co-authored with Jennifer Margulis, PhD) The Vaccine-Friendly Plan: Dr. Paul’s Safe and Effective Approach to Immunity and Health – from Pregnancy through your Child’s Teen Years, published in 2016 by Ballantine Books. In 2008, Dr. Paul left his pediatric group practice to form Integrative Pediatrics, LLC, where he has over 13,000 patients who appreciate his integrative approach to pediatric care and children’s health that embraces the best from all disciplines of medicine. DrPaulApproved.com was launched in 2015. Its mission is to educate and inform parents all over the world about vital research that is too often not publicized but can make all the difference for your child’s health – and your own.The focus of DrPaulApproved.com is to illustrate how good health is the direct result of your efforts and success in avoiding toxins and getting your nutrients through real food, with supplements as needed.
