In this intimate sister-to-sister conversation, Audrey sits down with her younger sister Cortney — a multi-business mother navigating ADHD, homeschooling, creative entrepreneurship, and the art of being deeply resourceful.

Together they explore what it actually looks like to build a life around your values, your kids, your capacity, and your creativity… even when the path makes zero logical sense on paper.

This episode is a grounded, real-life look at matriarchal leadership inside the home and inside business — full of laughter, honesty, and practical wisdom.

✨ How Cortney built multiple income streams — organically and intuitively

From custom laser engraving to dog boarding to bookkeeping to becoming a travel agent, Cortney shares how she followed simple threads, trusted her creativity, and built a life that works for her family.

✨ ADHD, creativity, and why some mothers thrive with more, not less

Cortney explains how her brain works and why having multiple projects actually regulates her instead of overwhelms her.

✨ Homeschool rhythms & being present with your children

Her simple, beautiful morning routine with the girls — including undivided eye contact — and why flexibility matters more than perfect structure.

✨ Pricing, worthiness, and learning not to undercharge

Cortney shares how she raised her prices, stopped discounting her work, and began attracting clients who value her time — because every moment away from her kids has to be worth it.

✨ Redirecting devotion back to yourself

A powerful segment on shifting from overgiving to self-resourcing, and how this year became her first true season of choosing herself.

✨ Music, mindset, and the energetics of calling things in

From “the monkey song” to manifestation playlists — the surprisingly sweet conversation on how sound shapes your subconscious and your business.

In this episode, Tara Vogel — professional astrologer, coach, and founder of The Luminary Community — joins me to explore how astrology can illuminate the invisible threads between our childhood imprinting, nervous system patterns, and the way we parent our own children.

Tara shares the story of how her daughter’s chart became her entryway into astrology — transforming her from a mother searching for answers into a guide helping others align their parenting with the rhythms of the moon.

We talk about how the first seven years of life set the tone for our nervous system, why our children mirror the parts of us that most need re-parenting, and how understanding the lunar and eclipse cycles can help us regulate, reconnect, and rewrite generational patterns.

Whether you’re new to astrology or already live by the stars, this conversation will help you ground cosmic wisdom into daily mothering — with grace, humor, and a deep respect for the body.

In the second part of our conversation, Natalie Kanbergs and I explore what it means to honor the season you’re in — as a mother, a maker, and a woman in business.

We talk about lineage, homemaking, and how the work of our hands becomes the work of our hearts.

Natalie reflects on motherhood as apprenticeship — a lifelong initiation that teaches us presence, patience, and the slow burn of creative devotion.

This episode is an invitation to descend into the ordinary sacred — to let your home, your business, and your becoming nourish one another.

This episode began, as so many do, in the thick of real life.

In the first half of our two-part conversation, Natalie Kanbergs — mother, wife, and founder of TU·ET·AL— invites us into the messy, devotional, and deeply creative path that gave birth to her alchemical skincare line and the home it was built inside of.

Together, we talk about the evolution of her work, the pressure to produce while mothering, and what it means to listen to the rhythms of both business and body.

This part of the conversation unfolds slowly — a stream of thought from a woman integrating creation, motherhood, and the art of daily living.

⚠️ Listener note: this episode opens with a story that includes mention of a firearm and a playground incident. Please care for your nervous system and listen in a way that feels supportive for you.

Audrey sits down with Dr. Lacey Nevel to talk about the real mechanics of mothering, business, and nervous system stewardship. Lacey shares how she creates space to regulate (hello, nightly sauna sessions), why building team was non-negotiable after being literally bypassed as “the office manager,” and how Free Spirit Chiropractic functions as a community hub, not “just” a clinic. Together you explore parenting as shadow work, detaching so you can show up clean, and new offerings for women chiropractors who are navigating motherhood and a male-dominated profession.

We cover:

• Nervous system stewardship in real life: how Lacey uses the sauna to detach, reset, and choose where to show up each day—“20 minutes of literally just detaching from everything.”
• Why team matters (and the moment it became non-negotiable): a local chiropractor walked in and asked “Where’s the husband? Where’s the doctor?”—and Lacey decided that day to get help at the front desk and protect her role as doctor and owner.
• Community as the heartbeat: Free Spirit is intentionally built as a gathering place—patients name “community” as their favorite part of the practice.
• Roots & wiring: raised by a single-mom entrepreneur; “keep going” grit, Enneagram 7 creativity, and the “Gap and the Gain” realization about achievement cycles.
• Parenting as shadow work: the invitation to address our stuff through our kids; why it’s easier to avoid discomfort and how it shows up anyway.
• New work for women in chiropractic: a seminar and 1:1 coaching focused on intention, detachment, and showing up for yourself so you can show up for others—especially post-baby.

​Her life purpose is to serve individuals and families with an abundance of love, using chiropractic as a portal for deep connection and understanding. She lives a life committed to elevating the consciousness and authenticity of others and along with her soul mate, Dr. Colten Nevel, aspires to create a space of love for the community to gather.

In part two of this conversation, Audrey and Katherine move from the framework into the flesh: from philosophy to lived experience.

They explore:

• Healing sisterhood and witch wounds through embodiment and right relationship.
• What it means to rewild rites of passage for our times — from birth to business to death cycles.
• The importance of supervision and being held while holding others.
• The courage it takes to restore the feminine principle in professional spaces.

This is the continuation of a conversation that bridges the personal and the professional — a reminder that the way we do our work is the work.

In this episode of Matriarchal Medicine, Audrey sits down with Katherine Eden-Lech; a community weaver, doula, therapist, and rewilding advocate, to explore what it looks like to bring integrity, discernment, and true matriarchal ethics back into women’s work.

Together they unravel:

• What “matriarchal ethics” really mean in the context of birthwork, business, and spaceholding.
• How our capacity to hold others depends on how deeply we’re willing to be held ourselves.
• The difference between performing care and being of service through embodied integrity.
• Why the matriarchal cycle — build, tend, dissolve, compost — is the missing framework in modern business.

This is part one of a two-part conversation that bridges the intellectual with the sacred, the practical with the poetic.

Welcome to Season 4 of Matriarchal Medicine. This season is devoted to The Mother — how we mother our children, our businesses, and ourselves in a world that often demands we do it all.

In this premiere, I take you behind the curtain of my own story:

• Growing up in a multi-generational family of entrepreneurs and what that actually looked like day to day.
• Working in my family’s Canadian hunting and fishing lodge from the age of 11 — running on little sleep, carrying adult responsibilities, and being exposed to things no child should ever face (yes, including being propositioned to play strip poker at 11).
• How those early years programmed me to live in my masculine — constant work, constant go — and what it took to untangle from that survival state.
• My journey through infertility, postpartum depression, and turning my lived wounds into a thriving business serving women.
• Why community is not just supportive but essential if you want to do this work without burning yourself out.

✨ Key Takeaways:

• Entrepreneurship often begins in survival — but survival can be transmuted into wisdom.
• Our wounds don’t disqualify us from leading; they can become our greatest medicine.
• Every mother is a working mother — but we don’t have to mother our businesses alone.
• Community is the difference between spinning your wheels and building something sustainable.
