Rayssa joins me for a powerful birth story episode —One rooted in ancestry, spiritual awakening, and radical self-trust. She shares the story of her first birth: an orgasmic labor unfolding in a French hospital, disrupted at the final moment when the provider commanded her to push when she wasn't ready to. This highlights the ecstatic possibilities in birth as well as the depths of vulnerability a woman may experience.

Then, her second: a sovereign freebirth at home, where she welcomed her baby in complete presence, reverence, and wild feminine power.

We talk about lineage, resisting coercion ("your baby is too small and you NEED an induction), the intelligence of the body, and the kind of transformation only birth can bring.

The Wise Woman: A Path to Remembrance begins July 7th

—a 6-week journey for women ready to reclaim what was lost, buried, or never taught. Together, we’ll explore Herstory, the sisterhood wound, rites of passage, womb wisdom, feminine embodiment, and the oracle within.

This is not another self-help circle. It’s a deep remembering. A sacred unraveling. A return.
