    Most fathers are taught to put the mission first. To provide, achieve, and sacrifice time at home for the sake of the family. But what if that conditioning is costing us the very connection our children need most?

    In this vulnerable solo episode, Mike shares his own awakening as a father — realizing that presence is more valuable than being the “hero.” He explores why the first three years of a child’s life are so critical, how a father’s nervous system imprints on his kids, and why shared family presence is the foundation of love, belonging, and resilience.


    🌿 You’ll learn:

    • Why children don’t need a hero — they need your presence

    • The irreplaceable role of fathers in early childhood

    • How presence impacts your partner, your kids, and your shared nervous system

    • Why the “mission first” mentality creates regret later in lifeHow to shift your mission to include family without losing purpose

    In this first episode of the Wild Birth Series, Courtney shares the raw, intimate story of attending her very first birth as a doula — and it just so happened to be for her own brother and sister-in-law.

    Join us for a deeply personal conversation with Keegan and Ashley, who welcomed their son Chester into the world in a powerful, unmedicated home birth. Together, they recount the emotional and energetic preparation that went into consciously calling in their baby — from ancestral healing and constellation work to ceremonies with the land.

    This episode is a tender yet fierce exploration of what it means to birth naturally, intentionally, and in deep trust with life itself.

    You’ll hear:

    • How our own birth imprints (and our parents’) can affect conception and birth
    • The importance of coherence in the birth field
    • Ashley’s journey to reconnect with her womb and feminine essence
    • The power of physiological birth and what it teaches us about trust and surrender
    • How the way we birth shapes the way we live — and die


    Chapters:

    00:00 Introduction to Wild Birth

    02:00 Preparing the field before conception

    10:00 Womb healing, grief rituals & ancestral imprints 2

    0:00 The imprint of your own birth & how it shows up in your child’s

    30:00 Physiological birth and full surrender

    46:00 Trust, toning, and the roar of the feminine

    59:00 Birth as the blueprint for death

    1:02:00 The Medicine Song (don’t miss this part!)

    This is more than a birth story. This is ancestral repair, embodied wisdom, and the sacred feminine roaring awake.

    🎁 BONUS: Stay tuned through the end for a medicine song that will melt your heart.
