It's officially Springtime here in the northern hemisphere, which means so many of our plant friends are returning!

Some of those wild weeds might be exactly the herbs that can help you as we transition from deep winter into the heat of summer.

But the term "spring tonic" can be confusing and vague, like what does that even mean?

And how can we effectively incorporate them into our lives -- which actions are most important and what herbs are good options?

I cover all of this and more in this week's episode.

Postpartum is an immense time of transition that includes not only having a new baby, but also navigating a massive hormonal cliff, recovery after birth, body changes, erratic sleep schedules, identity change and so much more.

So where does pleasure, sexuality, sensuality and eroticism come in?

And how do we enter into that space with attunement, tenderness, self-awareness and... perhaps most importantly embodied consent?

Most mamas and birthing parents are given the go-ahead to engage in sex again at 6 or 8 weeks by their provider, but many are not ready - at all (let's normalize this).

Just because your tissues are healed enough to safely engage in sexual intercourse does NOT mean you have to start doing it again. There are SO MANY WAYS to experience pleasure and orgasm and sex that do not have to involve intercourse.

And listening to your body, your mind, your spirit is paramount. What you want and what you like might be entirely different from before.

Sexological bodyworker and sex educator Gal Mar-Qz shares all about these topics and much more on today's episode.

We also explore some practices you can bring into your body, your partnership or even your parenting life that may be very helpful as you re-discover who you are now as you blend the identities of mother and erotic being.

I hope this conversation feels like a gift for you!

What if relieving menstrual pain or releasing stuck emotions in our wombspace could be fun, engaging, and... include twerking? It can!

To be honest, I've tried twerking in the past and maybe it's because I've compared myself to others but I just figured I was bad at it, and it wasn't for me.

Today's guest, Twerk Temple teacher Abigail Morrissey, laid it all out in a way that actually felt approachable for me.

I didn't know that there are 5 separate movements that can be included in twerking, and some of them are easier or more natural for some of us.

She also guided some really simple steps to get started, and encouraged just 2 minutes a day of the "booty pop" which is like, so possible for most of us.

But before we got into twerking, we talked about her healing journey which I think will be very relatable and inspiring to listen to.

From being a hospital nurse to experiencing an injury that catalyzed her to re-assess her life to getting off hormonal birth control to cycle synching and becoming more integrative in her approaches...

And then a huge life upheaval which led to her finding twerking and experiencing near total relief of her menstrual pain symptoms...

And her deep trust in the unfolding of her life.

There is so much here. I'm excited to share this conversation with you!
