Nicole and I dive deep on so many things in this conversation, including:

-Her practice of letting grief exist outside of her body

-the difference between allowing and efforting through grief

-the similarities between anticipatory grief to the experience of being on call 

-the relationship between self-care and the ease of transition out of this life

-her experience of carrying multiple experiences of loss and the nuances of grieving socially acceptable and stigmatized death at the same time. 

-the many nuances of embodied grief

-the medicine of not getting in our own way or in the way of the dying

-how she uses levity and humor as a spiritual practice

-the role of spiritual seniority in challenging family dynamics

-how resistance to discomfort creates room for more discomfort

Qiddist Ashé is a medicine woman and female health educator who holds space for transformation as we cultivate the inner and outer resources we need to live fully in our power. She is the founder and creatrix of The Womb Room, an online community for female health & spiritual sovereignty. Informed by her maternal lineage of Ethiopian midwives and her own work in authentic midwifery, functional health, herbalism, somatics, and spiritual sovereignty, Qiddist merges the science and the spirit of female health, orienting to all the ways we can reclaim agency and responsibility for our bodies and our lives. Qiddist’s work is rooted in “womb to tomb” midwifery, and her experience of embodiment integrates all that we carry in our wombs beyond our own lives, and how these stories might carry the medicine we need.

In this conversation, we get into:

In our conversation, she mentions the book Of Water and the Spirit by Malidoma Patrice Some and I mentioned the book The Smell of Rain on Dust: Grief and Praise, by Martín Prechtel.

Morenike and I get into so much goodness in this episode: 

The value of not running away from grief triggers and the connection that has to her spirituality.

The importance of not suppressing grief and where her capacity to hold the complexity of her grief comes from. 

The role of art & creativity in processing her grief. 

The power of softening into grief. She reminds us that our bodies are what makes us human, we need then on this journey and we don't need to be strong about it.

How grief was a wake up call for her and ultimately led her away from her corporate job and into her life's path.
