Lauren LaRose is a modern day witch - a certified herbalist, sacred feminine wisdom keeper and ceremonial space holder. Her gift is bringing women together in community to help them remember who they are so that they can come home to themselves. Healing the sacred feminine and the sisterhood wound is at the core of Lauren’s vision as the founder of the Wild Roses Festival.

In this episode, Lauren shares her story of trusting an inner nudge to leave nursing school and follow the calling to herbal medicine. From this first nudge to many other nudges since, she has allowed her intuition to help guide her onto the path that has now led her to creating an annual women’s gathering called the Wild Roses Festival. What start out as a simple potluck gathering for women to connect in community has grown to a 1,000 person festival in just 4 short years. Why you may ask? It is simple, women are remembering the healing power of gathering in community and that is exactly what the Wild Roses Festival is all about.

Have you ever been excited because your inner summer (ovulation phase) is about to begin and all you can think of is how good you are going to feel, to then only feeling like a complete mess because you are overwhelmed and exhausted?

Let me introduce you to Ovulation Overwhelm! (Yes, it is a really thing)

It is true, ovulation is labeled as our phase where we feel our best, but this heightened energy can also leave us feeling overwhelmed, full of self-doubt, and fearful of being seen. In this episode I will share my own observations that I had last cycle and how I am preparing to tend to my own ovulation overwhelm. We will explore the shadows of ovulation and the tools to keep you feeling your best during this week of your cycle. The gift of knowing your cycle is having the insight of what helps you stay balanced and thriving.

I think most of us women at some point have wished for the day where we no longer had to suffer through our bleed days…but what happens when that joke amongst girlfriends turns into a really life decision?

In the US, 1 in 3 women will undergo a hysterectomy in her lifetime (Dr. Aviva Romm in Hormone Intelligence). In some cases this is a life or death choice, like it was for Robyn Birkin. A hysterectomy, regardless if it was an emergency or a planned procedure, comes with a lot of physical and emotional challenges. Today on the podcast Robyn shares her story of having to have a hysterectomy in her 30’s and how she found tools to navigate making this decision in an emergency situation, as well as how she has found a way to live cyclical even without her uterus.

In this episode we explore:

Robyn Birkin is a fertility warrior who ended up having a grade 4 placenta previa with her 2nd daughter that resulted in an emergency hysterectomy at the age of 35. For years she ran a successful fertility coaching business supporting women on their fertility journey and has now created a new business as a Women’s Business Consultant to support women in wanting to grow their business while doing less. She is all about creating balance and encouraging women to stay connected to their feminine energy to thrive as an entrepreneur.

With so much information out there on how to cycle-sync your workouts, exercising for physical health and the latest workout trends, it can feel a bit overwhelming to know what you should be doing, especially as a woman. With infertility, hormone imbalance conditions, and aging we are often left confused after trying to decipher what truly will help us stay healthy.

This week Dr. Botsford join us to share what she has learned through intensive research on exercise and women’s health. As an Ironman Triathlete, she is deeply interested in understanding how exercise effects the body, women’s hormones, and overall how it supports us through aging. What I love most about this conversation is her approach on releasing restrictions around how we workout and instead explore movement that encourages us to be active.

In this episode we explore:

Dr. Briana Botsford is a naturopathic doctor, Ironman triathlete, and owner of Flow Functional Health Care in Edmonton, Alberta. Her personal background in sport led her to focus on the intersection of sports medicine and women's health; supporting athletes and active folks through nutrition, lifestyle and nutritional supplementation.

Infertility, endometriosis, and kinky fallopian tubes are just a few of the many topics that Kathryn Bregman and myself touch on in this inspiring and sometimes humorous conversation.

The truth is infertility effects 1 in 6 women and it can be one of the hardest diagnosis to receive. In fact studies have shown that the stress of being on the fertility journey is equivalent to the same level of stress cancer patients feel. This can be a confusing, physically invasive, and heartbreaking road to be on, that often leaves women feeling broken and hopeless.

In this conversation today, Kathryn and I share about our experiences of being told we were infertile and how we set out to find the answers that not only healed our body, but also gave us the tools to feel empowered and take control of our health.

In this episode we explore:

Kathryn Bregman is a Master Fertility Coach mentored by Marianne Williamson. She works with women to remove blocks between them and their babies. Kathryn struggled for years to conceive her daughter enduring miscarriage and failed IVF before she discovered the power of reframing her thinking. That one change fostered numerous transformations that eventually led to natural conception, against many odds, at 40.

I don’t know about you, but menopause was never something marked as a beautiful time in a women’s life. What I heard of it from my mom and my aunt’s was a time of transition filled with uncomfortable side effects and resentment. It’s no wonder why so many women dread getting older.

Let’s be honest, receiving the news of an official diagnosis can be incredibly scary and life altering. It can put us in a spiral of fear and questioning our future. I know this because more than once (in fact at least 8 times) I have received such news.

Over the years of my many health scares, I have learned so much about myself. About the stories I carry in my body, how I hold and process fear, and where I am living out of alignment with my health. The thing I have learned the most though, is how incredible our body is at healing when we get intimate and in a deep relationship with it.

If you are on a fertility journey or have another diagnosis that is keeping you up late at night, this episode is for you.

Hope is available.

Healing is possible.

Wellness is acheivable.
