    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.

  • How a King Initiates His Queen: From Fighting Him to Receiving Him
    Jun 5 2025

    In this intimate and fiery episode, Courtney and Mike dive deep into the process of how the masculine initiates the feminine — not through dominance or control, but through presence, responsibility, truth, and devotion.


    They unpack what the uninitiated feminine looks and feels like — the blaming, the spilling, the disconnection — and contrast it with the initiated feminine, who is radiant, relational, and deeply embodied.


    Courtney vulnerably shares how her own feminine has been invited into queen energy, not by being coddled — but by being met. Fiercely. Lovingly. Clearly.


    Mike opens up about the internal process it takes as a man to initiate the feminine — and what it means to do so in a way that builds intimacy, trust, and alchemical connection.


    Stay tuned until the end as they explore how the masculine’s sexual desire is not a threat… but one of the greatest invitations to the feminine's full awakening.
