In this episode I share my beautiful, life-giving conversation with Ashanti Cervantes. Ashanti is a facilitator of Family Constellations who helps people unravel inherited patterns and return to the truth of who they are. With a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy and a rich background in parts work, relational communication, attachment theory, and masculine/feminine polarity, she brings a deeply attuned approach to healing. Her work is rooted in a practice of presence—allowing what needs to be seen to reveal itself—and the power of love as a transformative force. Ashanti is here to guide others toward more aligned and liberated ways of living.

In this episode we get into:

• The four forces of love within of family constellation therapy as a means to restore lost love to a family system
• Ashanti’s experience of reconnecting with her father after 15 years of separation
• Learning how to accept men into our lives and to make space in our hearts for their love, protection, and provision
• Healing our own feminine distortions and recognizing how much damage we are doing to ourselves as women
• The importance of no longer seeing men as “enemies” or “adversaries”
• All the subtle, sneaky, imperceptible ways that women consciously and unconsciously emasculate men
• The biological reason why women set the tone in the relationship and why women hold the power to shift the entire relationship dynamic with men
• Holding reverence for our own inner masculine and not degrading the yang structure that allows our yin/feminine to flourish

May this episode help bring you back into loving alignment with the masculine--both internally and externally

In this extended episode with Aya Maria we get into:

• How birth control impacts our ability to choose a partner that is both biologically and spiritually aligned with us
• The biological and psycho-spiritual transformations that have to occur throughout a fertility journey in order to call life forth
• The man’s impact on fertility and a woman’s overall womb health

In this week's episode I share my conversation with one of my teachers, Aya Maria Maldonado. Aya Maria, mother, professional autonomous midwife, perinatal educator, and artist, is in service to the creative reproductive continuum—supporting people to remember themselves as extensions of raw natural power and as the ultimate authority over their sexual and reproductive health. She offers full-spectrum midwifery care in Tabio, Colombia, 1:1 virtual consults, as well as online and in-person immersions and trainings.

In this episode we dive deep into:

• ​Orienting to future ancestry as we individuate from our family’s of origin
• ​The art of birth care and how it reconnects us to the elemental technologies of all of our lineages
• ​The role of being an “in-between” person that travels through different timelines of modern, globalized society and ancestral, land-based life way
• ​Taking the response-ability to interweave the tools of clinical analysis and mammalian body intelligence when making decisions about our health (particularly throughout pregnancy and birth)
• ​How we can co-create thriving communities by aligning with our sense of common unity
• ​Remembering that, as women, we hold the blueprint within us to give birth and support birth with reverence, integrity, and love

May this episode reorient us all back into the gift of response-ability and the life-exalting capacity that we all carry within our innate blueprint of human vitality!

In this episode I share my conversation with one of my teachers, Rachelle Seliga.

Rachelle is a devoted Mother and Midwife whose work is dedicated to midwifing a cultural shift - where our innate wisdom, personal authority and the sanctity of Life are honored and centered. Her legacy work is INNATE Postpartum Care - Certification Training, which teaches the global postpartum tradition of "Physiologic Postpartum Care,” the unifying tradition etched into the blood and bone of postpartum women. Rachelle lives and works from the understanding that: The most effective and powerful usage of our respective & collective energy, comes from following that which is most alive in us - and creating from THIS place. In this way systems and structures that align with Life and our connection with it - are born. 

In this episode we get into:

• The reunification of the human race through realigning with the physiologic design of thriving life
• The centuries-long genocide of Indigenous European medicine women, midwives, and keepers of traditional wisdom
• How the intergenerational trauma of this mass genocide still lives on in the bodies of European descendants
• How the Witch Trials paved the way for the creation of the male-dominated field of modern gynecology and obstetrics which was first practiced upon European women and was then used on Indigenous women of the “Americas” and enslaved African women
• How the loss of Indigenous European wisdom ways and medicine traditions still impacts modern day birth workers, doulas, gynecologists, midwives, and women’s reproductive healthcare practitioners
• The work of developing and trusting our personal authority in our ongoing process of spiritual evolution and maturation
• How the European Witch Trials impact men in their process of being birthed into fatherhood
• The birth imprints of infant male circumcision and how they unconsciously damage a man’s ability to show up for the birth of his own child later in life
• The creation of “Whiteness” and the long-term impact of the loss of European Indigeneity

May this episode help bring us all back into right relationship with the truth of our collective wisdom, knowing, and aliveness! Enjoy!
