Spiral Deeper

In this episode, our host Gaby Azorsky speaks with Samantha Zipporah. Sam has over 20 years of experience providing reproductive & sexual health education & care. Serving both her community & curiosity in personal, professional, & clinical contexts. She is devoted to breaking the spells of oppression in reproductive & sexual health by connecting people to the innate pleasure & power of their bodies. She has provided care for all types of pregnancy release & a myriad of gynecological processes & procedures professionally in hospitals, clinics, & home settings. 

Her work comes from an ancient lineage of midwives, witches, & wise women. At this moment in time, her current and most robust offering for womb wisdom seekers and keepers is called The Fruit of Knowledge Learning Community. She is also the author of a handful of wonderful books which you can find via her website ~ Holistic Healing After Abortion, Holistic Healing After Miscarriage, Mapping the Yoniverse, and my personal favorite, Please Bleed: Plants & Practical Magic for If You Accidentally Get Sperm in Your Vagina, plus a few more. 

We share the philosophies that healthy sexuality & fertility are sources of joy & power and that the cycles of nature have much to teach us about how to thrive. 

I found her work via The School of the Sacred Wild where she was a guest expert lecturer, and taught us about the relationship between Orgasm and Oxytocin. I learned so much and went on to listen to her on other podcasts, and especially appreciated her inclusivity and love of etymology.  

In our conversation today, we talk about womb wisdom, cycling, menstruation, language, fertility awareness, ovulation, herbs, navigating abortion and miscarriage, and general womb vibes. 

Thank you Sam for sharing your wisdom!

Welcome back to Season 2 of Spiral Deeper! I am so happy that you’re here. In this episode, our host Gaby Azorsky speaks with Emma Girson. 

Emma and I never met, meaning, we’ve known each other our whole lives. We were raised 5 minutes from each other in Kansas, and up until I moved last month, lived 5 minutes from each other in Los Angeles. Two songs in the car away, as I would say when people asked. 

Today’s conversation is not only an interview, but also a catch up between soul mates and best friends, as we are both returning from transformative trips. I admire Emma for so many reasons, and with that, let’s tune in together… 

Thank you Emma for your essence!

In this episode, our host Gaby Azorsky shares her reflections on season 1 of Spiral Deeper: The messages that myself and my guests have received throughout this season have been so touching. I can and can’t believe that there are so many of you who are here for these conversations. Thank you. Thank you to you, this community, to the guests of Spiral Deeper: Ash, Michaela, Sierra, Ali, Lyssandra, Christy, Jannie, James, Kristen, Jessica, Paige, Lana, Melanie, Jasmine, Camille, Mallory. Wow. Thank you to my love, Connor for making this music. To Kami for creating the icon that blesses our screens. To Avery for your advice responding to my text messages about podcast production. 

With all of my previous projects, I never created an intentional pause. I kept creating with my internal generator nature, until I didn’t want to anymore. From the beginning, I have planned to take a break between seasons. To have space for new inspiration to compost and sprout. So this is where I leave you, we will be back for Season 2 on July 11. I can’t wait to speak with you then ~ Much love and gratitude, Gaby.

In this episode, our host Gaby Azorsky speaks with Camille Edwards. Camille is a Harvard Lawyer and Earth Ceremonalist. When Camille graduated from Harvard Law School three years ago, she became acutely aware of how out of alignment our systems are, in large part because of how absent they are of the wisdom of heart. As a facilitator, Camille creates integrative experiences for people to explore what alignment, harmony, and joy look like in their lives, and how to activate their heart center. Camille facilitates both through one-on-one sessions and group ceremonies with the medicines of cacao, meditation, herbs, movement, and song.

As a full-time practicing lawyer representing musicians, artists, photographers, filmmakers, and writers, Camille has learned how to balance the sharpness of the mind with the softness of the heart. She is committed to weaving together her institutional knowledge with her earth medicine-based offerings. When she is not drafting and negotiating contracts, you can find her talking to plants, hiking with her cat in Topanga where she lives, or meditating by a fresh-water stream.

In our episode today, we talk about Camille’s path, cacao, heart medicine, beloved, love, justice, living out of time, and connecting with the plants. Her laughter is contagious <3

I hope you take away the medicine in her words.

In this episode, our host Gaby Azorsky is interviewed by her dear friend Mallory Pendleton. Mallory is a writer, editor, education strategist, and lifelong learner. She can frequently be found googling restaurant menus, walking in the park to a podcast, referencing people’s full astrological charts, and staying up reading way past her bedtime. She currently lives in Brooklyn, NY, with her wife Laura and their ever-blooming collection of books.

When I was starting to dream into Spiral Deeper, I wanted to have Mallory interview me, so that you could get to know me as the host better through her wonderfully colorful questions.

In our episode today, you join us as we just begin our conversation. We talk about — friendship, imagination, how we met, Kansas and California, Almost Heaven Radio and music, sensitivity, boundaries, religion, and manifestation.

Thank you Mallory for sharing this conversation with me and for guiding the path for us all this episode!

In this episode, our host Gaby Azorsky speaks with Jasmine Nnenna. Jasmine is philosopher, founder, writer & artist. She is the Founder of Erah Society, a place where she houses her multitude of offerings that we marinate over today ~ The Teahouse, Human Design Soul Maps, The Podcast, and The Agency. 

Inside The Teahouse, is an oasis for spiritual seekers & founders. It is a place to cultivate self-awareness, restore self-confidence & unearth your soul’s reason for being here. A new paradigm incubator to seed, start & strengthen yourself, your creative ideas & conscious businesses. As they say, “You are not one-dimensional & neither is your purpose.”

I first found Jas on the inter-webs in 2021 when she was talking a lot about money, failure, human design, and god. I was captivated by her lens that she expressed herself through, and found myself back to her and rediscovering her offerings as she molted and metamorphosized.  

In our episode today, you join us as we just begin our conversation. We talk about — the south node / north node, GOD, family, relationships, philosophy, Human Design, mistakes and “failure”, burnout, slowness, moving through versions of self, and Tea. 

Thank you Jas for your rawness, your presence, and your softness!

In this episode, our host Gaby Azorsky speaks with Lana Smithner Greenleaf. AND HOLY SHIT THIS EPISODE IS SO GOOD. Lana is the creator of Mourning Rituals, a place for somatic release sessions, death care services, and guided grief support & rituals. She is a certified somatic practitioner, death midwife, TRE® provider, green burial advocate, grief guide, meditation/movement/yoga teacher, ritual maker, and believes that melding healing modalities with art and storytelling is the way forward. 

Lana has a foundation as a multidisciplinary artist and is the director of a community service project that supports all forms of grieving and de-stigmatizes having a relationship with death called “Death, Me, Dying Tree”.

When I started brainstorming the topics I wanted to discuss on Spiral Deeper, grief was at the top of the list. Through the passing of my beloved grandparents, Shirley and Josef Sands, in 2020 and 2021, I experienced grief for the first time at age 24. I felt emotions that I had never felt before, and let myself crash into wave after wave of grief whenever it hit me. 

In our episode today, we flow through a vast depth of topics ~ her path to death and grief work, being in a dynamic of bullying, growing up, wanting to die and ending one’s life, the interconnection of grief and trauma, how we can support our loved ones through loss, we talk about my grandpa, laughing and crying, burials, and grieving WITH the Earth. 

I hope you feel less alone in your grief and sorrow.~

Thank you Lana for your vulnerability and the work that you do!
