Emily shares her traumatic childhood experiences, including abandonment and abuse, and how they affected her mental health.

Emily talks about her decision to face her trauma and the challenges she faced when becoming a mother. She emphasizes the need for community support and the power of healing from trauma. Emily also shares her big dream of opening a holistic women's clinic that supports trauma survivors and provides a safe house for women escaping domestic violence.

There is something to be said for the personal power and wisdom that we all hold inside of us. Did you know that that power started before we were even conceived? Join me as I sit down with Sama Morningstar to discuss our inner power and where it stems from.

Sama founded the Womb Centered Healing Temple in 2018 as a collaborative space to support people of all genders to learn about the importance of our experiences in and of the womb, heal the wounds inflicted on all of us by the womb abuse and suppression of patriarchy, and reclaim the power of the traditions of womb reverence that predate the patriarchal system.  Out of her own personal journey healing from early childhood trauma founded in the domination model of the relationship between men and women, she has emerged with a passionate devotion to remember, re-activate, and re-establish Womb Power as our center of personal power and inner guidance.  She has received potent soul purpose visions about the importance of returning to a partnership model of relating with each other and with all beings and diligently applies this model to all of her relationships.

You will enjoy this episode if you:

- Enjoy learning about yourself and how we are wired

- Have a holistic approach to life and relationships

- Are curious about womb power and how it could relate to you
