Transformed by BirthRage, Grief, and the Underworld of New MotherhoodBig rites of passage invite big feelings. In this episode, I sit with Stacey Ramsower to map the terrain of postpartum rage and grief, offer grounded somatic practices, and show how clarity and community can turn survival into support.

You'll hear simple scripts for naming limits, ways to choose witnesses who can hold intensity with care, and guidance for protecting partnership when life is loud; a steady, compassionate companion for...

Not metaphorically. Actually. And I'm not just talking orgasms and clitoral stimulation, though that's certainly a huge pathway to pleasure. Instead I mean, connecting to what feels good - uniquely, in your body, to you. And that's different for everyone. But in starting to pay attention to anything that feels good, you start inviting the possibility for more pleasure in your life because you can seek more of that. Is it sun on you...

Insatiable with Ali Shapiro, MSOD, CHHC254. Food, Stress, and Healing Your Nervous System with Stacey RamsowerA Truce with Food foundational focus is learning how to effectively respond to the stress that makes you eat. Because we are often reacting to the past when our sense of safety was compromised, which fuels our current stress. For example, I used to binge on sugar during my cancer “scanxiety” season even though it was 15 years later. Because in the past, MRIs did find cancer (and I didn’t know I could ever not turn to food!). Logically I knew I was probably fine. But emotionally I was a wreck. To effectively respond to your st...

If you’re like most people, you probably haven’t. And yet, as Stacey shares, according to Ayverveda’s Sankyha philosophy, 25% of who we are comes from our conception and birth. This makes safety and food intimately connected and tangled from before we even make our Earth-side entrance. In order to understand food’s connection to safety, we are starting at the beginning. Specifically, our beginnings as we began growing in the womb and then officially made our Earth side entrance. In this heart-felt, deep convers...
