The Womb Room Podcast

Struggling with overwhelm, overstimulation, circular thoughts, distraction and restless seemed to take over my every day...these patterns are often labeled as "ADHD". When I oriented to the paradigm of biological adaptation through the lens of Germanic Healing, I had a big "aha" about these patterns, that shifted their expression for good. In this solo episode I share about: m

How many women do you know that have a fear (or an experience) of being kicked out of, ostracized from, or canceled by a community they're a part of?

In this conversation, Maura and

Alexandria Rema Saleem is a first generation Palestinian-American creatrix. (She's also a dear friend, Womb Room member, and mother of twins!)

We share a conversation with Rachel Leibovich, community member in The Womb Room, and founder of Esperanza's Acres where she practices as a jewish priestess, ritualist and dream weaver in service to community healing and justice.

We

What does it practically take to resolve our chronic symptoms, through the lens of Germanic Healing Knowledge? My friend and colleage Freya Kellet and I go back-and-forth sharing our personal stories of instantaneous relief from issues like chronic fatigue, tailbone pain, anorgasmia and more. If you've been exploring GNM but want the real-life look at what it takes to heal, this is

Is there space for nuance in a time of war? How do we orient when we hold both colonizer & colonized? What's being missed energetically in the cultural and historical context of this war? These are questions we (Qiddist and Maura) have been pondering as we metabolize the genocide(s) we are witnessing globally, and in particular of Palestine. We aren't experts, but we are observer

Last year I shared an episode on "my unpopular thoughts on the abortion bans". Since then, I've supported over 70 women in navigating the decision and process of bringing on their bleed. Today, I'm sharing my reflections and takeaways. I share about: my origin story in reproductive sovereignty work, and my personal potential pregnancy scare what my mother's experience has to do

I'm coming back to the podcast! I'm sharing some updates and a nourishing conversation with my friend Jeevan Singh on embodied business and earth-paced entrepreneurship. Listen in on our conversation about: Counter-culture mothering as an opportunity for spaciousness and creativity Our body as microcosm of the earth Stepping out of extractive and exploiting practices in our ent

When we loosen our grip on the "goal" of healing, we can experience the play and potential of the present -- and embodied internal relation that re-parents our inner child.
