it's not too late | mirroring, 7 year cycles, & childhood development
The Village Sessions
this is one for the common question that comes through from our course communities: what if my child is already over the age of 7? in season 01, we recorded an episode on mirroring where we explored the biologic imprinting that happens during those early, formative years. this conversation serves as a follow-up, speaking directly to mothers who feel they may have “missed the window.” we dive into how airway health, behavior, & movement reflect the environment, and how mothers’ narratives—like “it’s too late”—become blocks to their own resourcing. we explore why...

the dark side of dopamine | pornography, chatgpt, AI, & facebook groups
The Village Sessions
in this episode of the village sessions, we dive into the behavior of dopamine—it’s interplay in relationships, how it fuels validation loops in social media & the subtle rewiring in the way we experience connection today. we unpack how chat gpt & ai have quickly become ego-feeders & validation givers, even replacing god as an “all-knowing” source people turn to. we also highlight the porn connection, tying it to patterns of dopamine dysregulation. & the real punch — how women are responsible in the porn dynamic: in their leaking of...

sunlight in context | sunscreen, sunburns, & seed oils
The Village Sessions
in this episode of the village sessions, we track the history of the human’s relationship with the sun & its cultural implications—how ancient peoples oriented their lives around it & ultimately how modern society has been scared out of utilizing it. we explore sunlight as a process of self-calibration, a restorative metric that sets the foundation for health, energy & (all kinds of) development. we look at the history of sunscreen & the rise of fear around sun exposure, contrasting that with what science shows about PUFAs, sunburns, the energetics of burning. we...

IVF & the cost of bypassing our humanity
The Village Sessions
in this episode of the village sessions, we bring in multiple perspectives to paint a big picture of the relationship between the modern woman & IVF. how did we get here, & where does it end in the process of eugenics? as the birth control & fertility industries are a classic case of “create the problem, then sell the solution,” we talk about the ethics & longterm costs of forcing pregnancy into a body that is saying “no.” we break down the energetic states underneath “infertility,” as well as share our perspectives of what we have...
info_outlinein this episode of the village sessions, we explore the intersection of sovereignty & birth—what it truly means to own your choices, match your desires with your actions & step fully into responsibility for your outcomes. michale, kori, & molly unpack the mismatch between the modern sovereign woman & the modern birth models, questioning whether today’s birth systems & practitioners truly support women.
we dive into the four birth archetypes.. revealing the over arching theme — how sovereignty requires abundance.
in true villager fashion, we explore the unconscious patterns that shape birth experiences. asking: is your desire a match for you? if the desire is in the having, could it be that the outcome of your birth is simply evidence of what we’re holding on the inside?
birth serves as the ultimate revealer of hidden patterns & deficits. a reflection of our truest interior. whether we choose into it or not, birth often becomes a portal for transformation.
as we close the conversation, we welcome you to join us at our RESOURCED + ROOTED bowspring workshop (virtually + in person). after the event takes place, the workshop will live within our village birth offering. how you birth is how you live.
take a seat with us for this conversation on true autonomy, deep self-responsibility & the power of choosing birth.
