Most couples think fighting is a sign something’s wrong. But what if conflict is actually a doorway to deeper connection—when done well?

In this short, powerful episode, Mike and Courtney guide you through how to move from reactivity to ritual by creating simple agreements that transform fights into opportunities for intimacy and growth.

They share their top three agreements every couple should have, how to interrupt recurring conflict patterns, and why ritualizing repair builds safety, tone, and resilience in your nervous system.

🌿 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why couples repeat the same fights (and how to break the cycle)

• The 3 essential agreements every couple needs:

1. The Sacred Pause

2. “I” Statements

3. No Bond Threats

• How to create rituals of connection in conflict

• Why physical touch during disagreements builds safety

• How to use shared agreements to build trust, tone, and repair

In this solo episode, Courtney takes us deep into one of the most tender pain points in relationships: what happens when the feminine doesn’t feel held in her emotions.

From defensiveness to shutdown, many women know the heartbreak of trying to share their feelings—only to feel unmet, unheard, or “too much.” But there’s a different way.

🌿 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The myth of what it means to be “fully expressed”

• How to create internal boundaries that honor your feelings without unleashing raw emotion at your partner

• How to set containers for deeper conversations that actually get heard

• The feminine’s role in cultivating safety, expression, and grace in sacred relationship

• Practical tools for self-tending: movement, sound, inner child work, and sisterhood

Most fathers are taught to put the mission first. To provide, achieve, and sacrifice time at home for the sake of the family. But what if that conditioning is costing us the very connection our children need most?

In this vulnerable solo episode, Mike shares his own awakening as a father — realizing that presence is more valuable than being the “hero.” He explores why the first three years of a child’s life are so critical, how a father’s nervous system imprints on his kids, and why shared family presence is the foundation of love, belonging, and resilience.

🌿 You’ll learn:

• Why children don’t need a hero — they need your presence

• The irreplaceable role of fathers in early childhood

• How presence impacts your partner, your kids, and your shared nervous system

• Why the “mission first” mentality creates regret later in lifeHow to shift your mission to include family without losing purpose

In this first episode of the Wild Birth Series, Courtney shares the raw, intimate story of attending her very first birth as a doula — and it just so happened to be for her own brother and sister-in-law.

Join us for a deeply personal conversation with Keegan and Ashley, who welcomed their son Chester into the world in a powerful, unmedicated home birth. Together, they recount the emotional and energetic preparation that went into consciously calling in their baby — from ancestral healing and constellation work to ceremonies with the land.

This episode is a tender yet fierce exploration of what it means to birth naturally, intentionally, and in deep trust with life itself.

You’ll hear:

• How our own birth imprints (and our parents’) can affect conception and birth
• The importance of coherence in the birth field
• Ashley’s journey to reconnect with her womb and feminine essence
• The power of physiological birth and what it teaches us about trust and surrender
• How the way we birth shapes the way we live — and die

Chapters:

 00:00 Introduction to Wild Birth

02:00 Preparing the field before conception

10:00 Womb healing, grief rituals & ancestral imprints 2

0:00 The imprint of your own birth & how it shows up in your child’s

30:00 Physiological birth and full surrender

46:00 Trust, toning, and the roar of the feminine

59:00 Birth as the blueprint for death

1:02:00 The Medicine Song (don’t miss this part!)

This is more than a birth story. This is ancestral repair, embodied wisdom, and the sacred feminine roaring awake.

🎁 BONUS: Stay tuned through the end for a medicine song that will melt your heart.
