In this episode I speak with Chocolako Agburu about connecting to the wisdom of the body and the womb. As a Nigerian-American, she was the first in her family's lineage to not have an arranged marriage. We follow her story of believing in the power of choice.
What happens when life throws a challenge at you and forces you to pause. What options are available?
Finding a tumor in her womb sent her off on years of research and study of the rhythms of the female body to understand her options, though connecting the latest research to the ancient wisdom from Mayan women in Mexico. This sparked a calling to help women connect to the rhythms of womanhood. We talk about the importance of seeking counsel in major life decisions, and learning to pause and listen to your body's whispers and the body's feedback system.
