Eating for Fertility, Pregnancy, Postpartum and all Cycles of the Feminine
We are honored to welcome the luminous Heng Ou—author of The First Forty Days, Nine Golden Months, and Awakening Fertility, founder and CEO of Mother Bees—for an expansive conversation spanning from conception to birth, postpartum care, lineage healing, and the sacred act of nurturing the mother as the foundation of family wellness.
In this heartfelt dialogue, Heng shares stories from her three births, ancestral traditions, and the intuitive wisdom that has guided all her creations. We explore how our hormonal cycles and stages of womanhood are not isolated events, but initiations into a lifelong relationship with self-healing, surrender, listening and resonance.
Tune in for
Awakening Fertility as a state of body trust, playfulness & surrender
Preconception nourishment and the power of oysters, anchovies, salmon roe & mineral-rich foods
Letting go of control as the gateway to conception
Home birth, water birth & trusting the body's innate intelligence
Hypnobirthing, intuition & minimizing outside noise
Traditional Chinese postpartum care, confinement & "sitting the month"
Why rest, warmth, broths & deep nourishment are non-negotiable after birth
The emotional realities of postpartum, sleep deprivation & breastfeeding challenges
Creating postpartum containers with doulas, midwives & family care teams
Mother Bees as a movement of food, service & maternal restoration
Healing generational wounds through nurturing the mother first
How children mirror their mother's inner healing work
Gut health, warming foods & cycle-based nourishment for women
Small daily transitions as portals of self-care for exhausted mothers
Resonance, intuition & following the body's "pull" as spiritual practice
We Love You, Heng!

Welcome to the Unhinged Pregnant Women Episode!
We are joined today by the hilarious, brillant, fiercely tender Stephanie Simbari—comedian, writer, actress, podcast host, and mother—for an intimate and wickedly honest dialogue on conscious partnership, ancestral healing, pregnancy, birth, creativity, grief, and the feminine superpowers awakened through motherhood.
We Discuss:
Healing the maternal lineage & breaking generational patterns of silencing
How pregnancy became a portal into wild feminine expression and karmic fulfillment
The paradox of motherhood: losing morning rituals, losing identity, and finding deeper nourishment
Being a "sponge" rather than an empath & why boundaries matter more than labels
Creative rituals,  morning pages, dream processing & anchoring into self 
The grief portal: losing her mother, supporting her through death, and emerging transformed
Sex, celibacy & calling in the father of your children
Pregnancy as both blessing and sacrifice—body changes, identity shifts & energetic depletion
The psychedelic nature of unmedicated birth & why surrender is the medicine
Home birth vs. hospital birth, fear culture & reclaiming physiological birth
Navigating partnerships, blended families & inviting older children into the birth field
Reviving creative identity after motherhood and the fear of using one's voice again
Stephanie's new project Moms Are People Too and the tender rebirth of public expression
Her upcoming live show in Malibu — reconnecting to the stage after a decade
Astrology, Human Design & the cosmic timing of babies!
We Love You, Steph!

Tune in for an empowering reframe on all things birth. 
We welcome the brilliant Lori Bregman—renowned doula, life coach, spiritual  mentor, and author—for a deep dive on pregnancy, birth, capacity and motherhood as our host Nitsa enters her 33rd week of pregnancy. 
Lori is the real deal. With 26+ years of experience and over 1,600 births attended worldwide, she offers a rare refinement of intuition, wisdom, and grounded practicality to the field. She reminds us that every birth is a unique rite of passage—a spiritual and physical initiation that asks us to both soften into and invoke our deepest power.
From riding the intense waves of labor, to navigating hospitals with sovereignty and tapping into the psychedelic edges of transition, Bregman offers life-changing guidance for expectant mothers, partners, birth workers, and anyone walking the motherhood path.
We are so grateful to have you as our doula Lori!

Desire has the power to heal our world as much as destroy it. 
We are honored to welcome the luminous Nina Lombardo — Nitsa's mentor, teacher of feminine embodiment, and guide in sacred intimacy — for a sumptuous conversation on yearning, eros, devotion, polarity, and why the reclamation of our feminine is some of the most transformational work we can do for the planet. 
In this tender, deep and expansive dialogue, Nina and Nitsa explore what it means to fully live and love as women. From essential rebellion to the ache of desire, the rapture of surrender, partnership and embodied love  — we dive into the full spectrum of the feminine experience in relationship to others and ourselves. 
Tune in for
The power of yearning and how desire itself can be a portal to fulfilment 
Nina's journey from resisting cultural standards of beauty as a form of self-protection to stepping into embodied feminine leadership
Healing the maternal lineage and redefining femininity beyond conditioning
Shifting from suppression into true erotic sovereignty
Exploring feminine archetypes: the Slut, Priestess, Queen, and Unhinged Woman
Shame's poisonous claws and how turning toward discomfort awakens aliveness
Polarity work and learning to hold and be held in presence in partnership and beyond
Masculine Awareness vs. Feminine Experience
How to bring renewed energy into comitted relationships 
Removing our armor to practice safe surrender and softness 
Love Deeper and Ecstatic Love — Nina's immersive containers for feminine awakening
Trusting the intelligence within your longing and cringe
Attuning our systems to be an instrument of the divine
Reclaiming pleasure and expression as spiritual practice
Thank you Nina!

We welcome back the radiant Carson Meyer — doula, author, mother, and founder of C & The Moon — for an intimate conversation on the motherhood portal.
Carson joins Nitsa in their second trimester of pregnancy to share honest reflections as she prepares for baby #2, the realities of expanding her family holistically and her creative evolution.

How motherhood invites new layers of transformation
Carson's journey from birth doula to author and educator
