In this potent and timely conversation, I’m joined by Sheila Kamara Hay—mama of three, ecstatic birth mentor, and visionary guide in the reclamation of birth as a portal of pleasure, power, and possibility.

Together we explore what it means to feel good in birth, how to orient toward safety and expansion in our bodies, and the critical distinction between pain and suffering.

Sheila shares her own three birth stories and the awakenings that followed, weaving in threads of nervous system awareness, sensual aliveness, and the necessity of reclaiming our inner authority.

This is a rich, embodied dialogue on the sacred design of birth, the conditioning that numbs our pleasure, and the invitation for all women to come home to themselves.

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.
