Writing about the mouth seems weird. But trust me, you’re going to want to read this. It’s the foundation for physiological wellbeing - setting you up for good sleep, balanced hormones, less pain, and greater wellness. It’s also about growing babies who are physiologically well from the start. Being a mother is overwhelming, but there are so many amazing ways we can help ourselves and help our children. The power is yours. And it starts with your perspective of and relationship with your body.

Most people don’t really get the concepts of “sex” and “gender” - and that’s understandable. They’re pretty academic ideas. But these days gender activists are blurring the lines even more, adding to the confusion. So here’s a sex and gender 101 from the perspective of rewilding and physiology, anchored in biology. The more we understand how sex and gender affects our lives, the better equipped we are to make changes to benefit the lives of women and children.

It’s incredibly hard to wrap our minds around the current state of gender ideology. One side is full of activists screaming militant slogans at you. On the other, fear-mongering and generalizations galore. Truly understanding this phenomenon requires deep reflection, education, and understanding of our children’s generation. I’ve created this resource list for you, so you can go deep and educate yourself. I want you to be a fierce, well-informed mother so you can care for yourself, your children, and your family from a place of power.

It’s not popular these days to use female language. Government agencies, universities, and institutions everywhere have axed female language from their websites and materials, all in the name of “inclusion.” But this is a grave mistake we will be paying for in the decades to come. When we erase women and girls, we erase our ability to name violence and injustice and we remove our ability to make the world better for them. Stand with me in resisting gender ideology and bravely stand for women.

We live in a culture that doesn’t honor female biology, but instead tries to control, medicalize, and pathologize it. The truth is that our biology IS our superpower and we’ve been lied to about….almost everything. Reclaiming our biology is the first step in harnessing our most wild and authentic selves, and our most well and strong bodies. Developing awareness and care for our biology is the first step in the journey.

Abortion is a complex topic, yet it is treated as a black-and-white shouting match in our society. But it deserves a deeper, wider conversation. It deserves a woman-centered perspective, anchored in history and cross-cultural analysis. Women deserve true freedom, including freedom from societal structures that harm them. We can do better.

We need more women speaking up, sharing their female experiences and perspectives…and we need to create a safe society where they can do so. This is my stand as I embrace a new year of being alive, and my act of ceasing to bite my own tongue.

Unassisted birth (freebirth) has been on the fringe of society for a number of years, but is currently getting a lot of attention (positive and negative). This is my perception of what freebirth could be after 17 years of reflection since my own unassisted birth. Birth is powerful and belongs to women, not medical providers. We get free when we accept our own inner power. Explore this idea with me through the lens of freebirth.

Birth is a powerful portal that takes us from being a maiden to being a mother. Here are my two birth stories - one with midwives at home and one birth unassisted (freebirth). Both experiences were powerful and I share details of my freebirth 17 years ago and my love for Jeannine Parvati Baker and her support in helping me to find my power.

Childbirth in the United States has a long and sordid history. There are many ways to tell this history and this is a general outline of what happened to birth from prehistoric times to the modern American birth scene. A historical analysis can help us to better understand our options today and make choices in context.

While the nature of truth sounds like a super heady, philosophical idea (and it really is), it’s also important for deeply understanding why we think the way we do and make the choices that we make. And it’s crucial to change our relationship to truth if we’re going to make the world a better place with less suffering.

Food is such a hard topic for most people — our culture has created such dysfunctional relationships with food…and we have a LOT to heal personally and collectively. Explore this process with me through the lens of food as love and food as grief.

Ancient human culture centered mothers, women, and children. They were gentle, protective, and healthier. It’s time to bring back the centering of mothers in our own cultures, to give power back to women so we can heal our world and create a new cultural narrative of thriving for everyone.

Everyone has a food story. Especially women. This is mine. From extreme childhood veganism, to raw veganism and fruitarianism, to paleo, and everything in between. To finally embracing true nourishment, a pro-metabolism approach, and feeling whole. We all deserve a healthy relationship with food and our bodies.
