The Sacred Womb

There's a shift in consciousness that slowly creeps in at midlife. It doesn't announce itself dramatically. It arrives as a background whisper — a gradual sense that the life we've been living, perhaps quite happily, no longer quite fits. Not because anything is wrong with it. But because something within us is fundamentally changing. That feeling — of being slightly unattached, ene...

Perimenopause can feel like our whole inner world cracks open at once — even when we've done years of therapy and personal development. In this episode, I explain why that intensity is not a malfunction. It is a deliberate hormonal shift that ends suppression, opens the subconscious, and activates dormant potential simultaneously. I cover: Why the hormonal shift in perimenopause is designed —...

The conflicting advice around reproductive health — from conventional medicine and from the wellness world — leaves most women cycling through practitioners with no real answers. I invited Michelle on because she has done what many women are told isn't possible, and she did it by going back to the root cause. Michelle Byrt is a natural fertility educator and founder of Get Fertile. After year...

Ready to feel strong, steady, and unapologetically capable through perimenopause and menopause? We sit down with Charlotte, a Chiang Mai–based fitness and nutrition coach who specialises in midlife women, to unpack what actually changes as hormones shift and how to train smarter without turning your life upside down.

You were told a love story. That if you were chosen — really chosen — everything would finally feel okay. The loneliness would ease. The ache would quiet. You'd feel complete. It doesn't work. Because it's a fantasy. And in this episode, I'm naming it directly. I explore: — What the Disney princess fantasy actually is and where it comes from: the real, tender, core fears undern...

Become the frequency of this work and guide women home to their true, sovereign nature. I’m truly delighted to share this with you. The Womb Medicine Woman Training® is back! This training has run in different forms for seven years. I then chose to pause—to reflect, deepen my skills, get divorced, and move to Thailand… and then peri-menopause kicked in. To say I needed time to rest and recalibrate...

Women and MONEY! Why are so many women struggling to earn, receive and retain money?!! Women are conditioned—subtly and overtly—to emotionally over-give, to feel guilty for charging for their time, to equate compassionate with “low fee,” and not to have “too much.” Add attachment patterns that mean receiving can feel existentially loaded, generational trauma that women simply can’t survive without...

Agnieszka Drabek-Prime weaves the cyclical wisdom of goddess archetypes into a rich map for navigating life’s transitions — from menstruation to motherhood, through perimenopause and beyond.  Her new book, Dancing With Goddesses: An Archetypal Journey Through The Menstrual Cycle , offers women a way to embrace their natural rhythms and seasons with reverence. The book arrived in a single, luminous...

The journey through perimenopause is unique for every woman, yet the unsolicited and contrary advice remains universal.  This was the inspiration for my latest poem, which is part of a book of poetry in which I’m documenting the entire perimenopause journey from beginning to end. What makes perimenopause so challenging isn’t just the physical symptoms – the hormonal fluctuations, the muscle mass c...

Today is my 49th birthday, and peri-menopause is in full swing. My last period lasted 26 hours. As my blood started to flow, I felt love and bliss emanating from my womb. I lay on my bed for 4 hours, riding the waves of energy that flowed through the fibres of my body. The last time I wrote a poem about my stage of womanhood was January 2021, at that point I was standing at the edge of the lake &g...

Have you noticed the huge rise in the diagnosis of ADHD? It’s everywhere — in adults, in children, on social media, in therapy rooms. And while it’s often discussed through the lens of ‘neurodiversity’ or executive dysfunction, there’s something deeper going on that rarely gets named. The Root Cause of ADHD ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder , but in many cases, what’s really...

In our conversation, Anthony shares the essence of Singing in the Wild , his five-day retreat that I've been on twice (17 years ago and more recently just a few weeks ago). I had such a transformative time that I invited Anthony onto the podcast to share the genuine magic of this work! Many of us were told, somewhere along the way, that we couldn’t sing. Maybe we were asked to stay quiet, to...

have you ever tried to ‘let go’ of behaviors that no longer serve you, only to find yourself repeating the same patterns?  You're not alone.  The popular advice to ‘release what no longer serves us’ or burning our troubles away on the full moon simply doesn't work—and there's a profound psychological reason why. What we're actually doing when we try to ‘let go’ is pushing away...

This guided practice serves as both a foundational womb healing technique to energise your whole womb center and a diagnostic tool to understand your current relationship to your womb . You’ll learn to direct energy to each part of your womb system – the ovaries, tubes, the womb itself, cervix, and yoni (sacred space).  As you breathe into each area, you’ll discover not just where energy may be bl...

The phrase 'holding space' is immensely popular with those in therapeutic, healing, coaching, wellness, and women's circles, but what's really happening? I've investigated this over the last few years with those I've worked with and colleagues, and it turns out to be mainly trauma-driven. Holding is the opposite of what we're trying to be as we heal and become mo...

In this episode I explore the concept of becoming a genuine adult,  what it means to develop emotional maturity and a grounded sense of self, what that looks like and feels like, and how we can do it in a way that increases our range of experience and expression. Often, we equate adulthood with age, assuming that reaching a certain number automatically means we have attained emotional maturity. Ho...

Our attachment template primarily determines how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world, and to recalibrate it, we need to work where it was formed: from incarnation, conception, in our Mother’s womb, to birth and our first year.  Our attachment template is formed by the time we get to about 1. Key events, memories, and ways of relating usually compound that template, meaning that patterns...

If you've been wondering what is actually happening in your body during perimenopause and menopause — beyond the generic "your hormones are changing" — this conversation is for you. I'm joined by Salena Walker, herbalist, naturopath and nutritionist, who has over twenty years of teaching experience supporting women's health. Salena brings something I deeply value: root-lev...

To heal our womb means to dissolve all the ‘stuff’ we’ve been holding in there, restore its true purpose and reconnect the whole womb centre with the rest of our system. To do this we need to consider six aspects: the physical womb the metaphysical womb gestation: time in our mothers’ womb the split of unified energy into masculine and feminine the collective womb detox and nutrition This episode...

I explore 3 core issues that I see over and over again in my work, particularly with women. I describe how each particular aspect shows up, the root cause, and what to do about it. Perpetually Putting Others’ Needs Before Our Own THIS LOOKS LIKE A hypersensitivity to what others are feeling and what they possibly need. After very quickly and automatically scanning the other person, we quickly atte...

Have you ever felt an insatiable hunger for love and validation? In this episode, I explore ‘The Hungry Mother,’ a medicine poem that speaks to the experience of, and healing from, narcissistic parenting. Put simply, narcissistic parenting is where the parenting is all about the parent; the two main features of which are where the parent wants to be seen as perfect, and they feel entitled to ‘get’...

Welcome to another episode where Kim and I discuss the growing divine feminine movement and its pitfalls… …as many women who are in this movement are struggling to turn ideas into reality, have a lack of internal authority and are using ‘the masculine’ as a dumping ground for traits that are not liked or deemed to be ‘feminine’. In the first half, we examine why and how our masculine part is often...

Ready to debunk some myths about your menstrual cycle? I talk about 6 of the most common myths in the realm of ‘womb work’ that are limiting our experience of what the menstrual cycle truly is, and get clear on what the antidotes are. PMS is not a foregone conclusion! Rather, it's an access point to our subconscious, a time to listen to and align with our truth. Our pre-menstrual time can be...

Many women I come across talk of keeping themselves small. It's one of the core wounds that women in particular struggle with. In this episode, Kim Barnard and I explore the 4 aspects that form the 'root system' that keep us living with tethers on our life force, and how to heal. There are several expressions of keeping ourselves small, which are (but aren't limited to): Feelin...
