Birth is not the trauma, the system is.
This week on Honey Toast, Danielle and Briana sit down with birth worker, somatic trauma coach, and best-selling author Emmy Robbin to talk about birth as initiation, power, lineage, and the remembering of what women have always known.

From fear-based systems and disassociation to sovereign birth and nervous-system trust, this episode explores how trauma is often systemic, not personal, and how true healing begins when we restore faith in our bodies.

A must-listen for anyone navigating pregnancy, postpartum, or the lifelong relationship with the feminine body.

What if the very thing women are taught to hide holds the key to their deepest power 

In this conversation with Marieke Bodyn artist philosopher midwife and cyclical living guide we unravel the centuries of shame that have buried the feminine body under patriarchy’s logic and the medical system’s quick fixes. Together we trace the lineage of womanhood through blood and soil from red tents and ancient priestesses to the modern woman’s quiet rebellion of tracking bleeding resting and listening

This episode explores:
 • The lost initiations of the first bleed and how their absence shapes generational disconnection
 • The ancient practice of returning menstrual blood to the earth as nourishment and ceremony
 • The emotional and energetic language of cramps PMS and cyclical pain what your body is actually trying to say
 • How the patriarchy rebranded the sacred feminine into something messy and how women are rewriting that story through ritual
 • The biological poetry of maternal lineage how your grandmother’s eggs live within you
 • Why reclaiming cyclical living is not regression but the most radical form of evolution

This is not a conversation about periods It is a conversation about power The kind that cannot be sterilized outsourced or systematized

Listen if you have ever felt at war with your own body and are ready to remember that she has been on your side all along

Your gut isn’t just about digestion, it’s where stress, burnout, and imbalance first take root. In this conversation with Clinical Specialist Devin Eliason, we explore how the principles of Ayurveda reveal the hidden links between your gut, your emotions, and the way you move through the world.

Devin shares how living out of rhythm with your body shows up as inflammation, anxiety, hormone swings, and chronic fatigue, and how simple shifts in food, routine, and daily awareness can transform survival mode into grounded vitality.

If you’ve ever wondered why your “gut feelings” are so often ignored in Western medicine, why your symptoms feel scattered but connected, or how to bring ancient practices into a modern lifestyle, this episode will leave you seeing your body in an entirely new way.

Tune in to this week’s Honey Toast episode on Spotify or Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen, and join us in re-imagining what gut health really means.

Long-distance friendships, slow fades, and friendship breakups — why do they hurt just as much as romantic ones? In this episode, we get honest about how hard it can be to maintain adult friendships, especially when life pulls you in different directions. We talk about asking hard questions about who gets to stay in your life, how to know when to let go, and what it really takes to make long-distance friendships work.

We weren’t meant to do life alone, but somewhere along the way, the world started glorifying
independence, especially for women. In this episode of The Honey Toast Podcast, we’re talking
about how that cultural shift might actually be leaving many of us feeling isolated, disconnected,
and more lonely than ever. From the pressure to "hustle" to the silence that can come after loss,
career changes, or even a global pandemic, women are carrying a heavy load, often without a
village around them.

Let’s explore why deep relationships and chosen family matter more than ever, and how we
might be unknowingly pushing people away. Are we becoming too stand-offish when someone
genuinely wants to connect? And more importantly, how do we begin rebuilding the community
and connection we all deeply crave?

This episode is for the ladies, and for anyone who’s ever felt pressured to “fix” themselves.

From 9-year-olds asking for skincare and makeup to grown women chasing eternal youth, we’re diving deep into how today’s world makes women feel perpetually self-conscious. Why are we taught we have to keep our faces young, hide every flaw, and banish every stray hair?

Danielle opens up about her own experiences with beauty products at a young age, and we explore how none of us come into this world believing we’re not enough, it’s a story we’re taught.

Join us as we talk about how our skin, bodies, and souls are perfect as they are, why looking inward might reveal the true “flaws” we need to heal, and how practices like mirror work can help us love ourselves first.
