Umaversity Podcast

What if the place you've been taught to ignore is actually the source of your creativity, your pleasure, your safety, and your life force?

In this episode, @JoSarah  sits down with Renske Kuipers, an integrated pelvic floor expert, breathwork coach, and midwife with over 12 years of experience. She breaks down what the pelvic area really is and why it matters way beyond just tight muscles or postpartum recovery.

We go deep into the heart-womb connection, the energetic anatomy of your sexual organs, and how stored tension and unprocessed emotions live in the body, especially in the pelvic area.

Renske shares the concept of embodied consent, what it actually looks like to be truly ready to receive, and why slowing down is the most radical thing you can do for your body and your pleasure.

You'll walk away from this episode with a whole new understanding of your body, from your ovaries to your cervix to your cl!toris, and why knowing your own body is the starting point for everything. Whether you've experienced pelvic pain, trauma, or you just want to reconnect with your creative and sexual self, this episode will shift something in you.

Come curious. This one goes places most podcasts don't.

In this episode,  @JoSarah   sits down with Danique — a sexual trauma survivor who became a dominatrix, and later a sexual wellness coach.

- Why slowing down and listening to your body changes everything
- How to start exploring your sexuality again without abandoning yourself

Expect to get simple, grounded tools to:

Your period is POWER — and it’s time you claimed it. 

What if every mood swing, craving, and energy shift wasn’t random… but part of a powerful inner map your body’s been trying to show you all along?

💗 The 4 archetypes of your cycle — from playful Maiden to wise Crone. 

🥗 How to eat for each phase so your hormones, mood, and energy work with you, not against you. 

🔍 How to spot exactly what your cravings are trying to tell you (and why PMS might not be the villain you think). 

✨ Rituals & spiritual practices to supercharge your connection to your body and intuition. 

🩸 Why cycle tracking is the self-love tool you didn’t know you needed. This is more than “period talk” — it’s a permission slip to own every version of yourself in every phase.
