When you’re not planning on having children, you might not give much thought to pelvic health. But what if that space—whether physically present or not—holds more than just reproductive function? What if it carries your power, your patterns, your presence?

In this episode, Emily sat down with somatic therapist Suzi Zobrist, who first discovered the concept of womb wisdom after surviving ovarian cancer and undergoing a radical hysterectomy in her thirties. Suzi’s journey into healing, embodiment, and nervous system regulation opened a new understanding of what it means to live from the root. Together, they explore how tending to this often-overlooked part of ourselves can become a path to deeper aliveness, clarity, and sovereignty, especially for childfree women.

Key Takeaways

• Pelvic health isn’t just for mothers. It’s a powerful entry point into embodiment, intuition, and emotional healing—for all women.

• The pelvic bowl is a place of memory. This part of the body can hold stress, trauma, and tension until we learn how to gently release it.

• Symptoms are messengers. Discomfort or disconnection often signals deeper needs, not just problems to be fixed.

• Daily practices matter. From morning devotionals to breathwork, Suzi offers accessible tools for reconnecting to the body with care.

• There’s no one right rhythm. Part of living childfree is reclaiming a relationship with the body on your own terms—not anyone else’s timeline.
