In this extended episode, Christiana shares her painful but, unfortunately, very common story of gynecological abuse and medical negligence during an unmedicated cervical biopsy and how the abuse echoed through her body for years after the fact in the form of interstitial cystitis.

I also share my own experience of gynecological rape and how it took me years to unravel the deep sense of betrayal that I felt towards a female health care provider that assaulted me within a medical context.

For both Christiana and I, we see the suffering that we've experienced in our wombs and pelvic bowls as the big initiations into the womb work that we do today. However, we also firmly align with the truth that women should not have to be undergo any form of medical rape in order to step into their role as womb wisdom keepers and women's health care practitioners.

Today, I share my conversation with a dear friend, sister, and fellow mujer medicina, Allegra Preuss. Born and raised in Miami Beach, Allegra studied dance and journalism in NYC, searching for richer ways to merge creativity and service. Back in Miami, she began alchemizing her experiences into offerings like Jellyfish Jam, a movement medicine practice, and The Observation Deck, an oracle card deck. A doula, writer, performance artist, ceremonialist, and educator, she plays the intersection of art and spirituality, exploring the range of feeling and healing.

In this deeply personal and transformative conversation with my dear friend and sister, Anna del Amor, we share about our journeys of healing disordered eating patterns by breaking free from the rigidity of dogmatic veganism and embracing the life-giving vitality of animal foods for thriving female reproductive health.

Reflecting on our time spent in indigenous communities, we discuss how ancestral wisdom and embodied intuition guided us to dissolve our rigidity, come into right relationship with eating meat, and rediscover balance in nourishment. This episode is an invitation to heal the disconnect between body and mind, honor our biological rhythms, and celebrate the deep connection between nourishment, vitality, and thriving life.

In this extended episode I talk about the romanticism of indigenous healing practices, the shamanic use of co-regulation, the isolationism of our current health paradigm, and the belief systems that are challenged and healed when we heal in community.

In this episode I welcome the first guest to the podcast: Vincent, the man who has walked beside over the past 3 years of jungle life. 

Together we talk about how Vincent began his path in the jungle, the process of navigating an indigenous culture as a foreigner, the benefits and dangers of choosing to sit in ceremony with the medicine of yagé (ayahuasca), and what it truly means to call oneself a “healer”.

Vincent is the only other person who has any idea what my life has looked like over the past three years since choosing to leave the states and commit to my path in the jungle. However, his story is uniquely his own and the insights that he shares are widely applicable for all those who are walking a path of coherence, self-respect, responsibility, compassion, consciousness, and love.
