If you're between the ages of 28-31, you're likely in your "Saturn Return"; when Saturn returns back to the position in the sky that it was in when you were born. Why is this important? Maura calls your Saturn Return an initiation into Spiritual Adulthood; a chance to end karmic cycles, heal ancestral trauma, and discover your destiny. This portal only comes around every 29.5 years, so it's important not to miss it! In this episode, we both share about our wild Saturn Return experiences (divorce, break ups, spiritual awakenings, career changes, moving to new countries..there's a lot!) and how we should be best utilizing this portal of opportunity for spiritual growth.

So much focus goes on baby in the fourth trimester…what about mama? In postpartum, your body is in its most vulnerable state, severely lacking in vitamins, minerals, and of course..sleep!

There is no magic pill to heal your womb, but if there was one, pelvic (or yoni) steaming would be it. Do you struggle with painful cramps, irregular cycles, yeast infections, short cycles, Fibroids, or other period problems? Or perhaps you're healing from postpartum or a miscarriage. Pelvic steaming has SO many benefits, including healing sexual/emotional trauma that you may be holding in your womb space. 

Julia Demillones Moore (she/her) is a pelvic steam practitioner, home herbalist, mother, birth keeper & advocate for enriched postpartum care. Julia uses ancestral medicine practices from her Filipino lineage to bring pelvic steaming into people’s lives and to hold space for exploration and conversation about self + community care for menstrual cycles, birth, and breastfeeding.

Birth should be a judgement-free zone where you feel informed, empowered and heard. Often times, it is not this way. In fact, 40-60% of new parents walk away with birth trauma, and the rate of unnecessary and unwanted C-sections is out of control in the US. Our guest HeHe Stewart is a Family Life Educator with 10 years of experience in supporting families, an Infant Feeding Specialist, and Birth/Postpartum Doula. She created The Birth Lounge, which teaches pregnant folks how to have an informed and confident birth, and reduce the risk of C section with research-backed childbirth education.
