Matriarchal Medicine Audrey Thorp

I'm excited to host this solo episode because I have so much to say about The Rooted Woman. This episode was recorded LIVE with my incredible instagram community speaking about my upcoming 13 week container called “The Rooted Woman”. 
I’ll be doing instagram LIVES every Saturday throughout the month talking about what this course is and how it came to be.
First, The Rooted Woman is a crystallized version of the past 11 years of my research, studying, stacks and stacks of books (ask my husband) and most importantly lived experiences. Everything that I teach, is from an embodied place and I think that is so crucial when choosing to open yourself up to someone’s teachings - ARE THEY LIVING IT?! 
I came to the Rooted Woman out of necessity. 
I, like so many women, have been gaslit by not only the medical system but also our families.
I have experienced deep betrayal trauma and can track everything back to that once small voice I had inside me. 
I ignored the signs in all of these instances, and only when I was ready to look these things in the eye did I finally choose to take responsibility for my contribution to the situation. No longer playing victim to the situation. 
I tracked where and when I abandoned myself, sure we can say in the name of people-pleasing, but let’s be honest- who is actually pleased with you? I did it because it was easier for me - it provided the illusion of acceptance and approval when in all reality it was me manipulating those around me into thinking they liked ME - when they really just “liked” the mask. (if they liked me at all) 
I have ignored red flags in 
intimate relationshipsHealth care providers and decisionsBusiness decisions Clients Investments 
Until I finally decided it had to stop. I saw how it manifests in fertility, birth, postpartum, and menopause. I saw how it manifests in the clients I support with homeopathy through what most would consider to be major health crises that I realized I can not continue down a path where I continue to outsource. I need to RE-MEMBER. I need to go back to my roots. Before the conditioning, before the wounds, before I continue another day doing something for someone else - I need to tend to my temple first. 
I started to pull at layers and see how there has to be an unraveling or a dis-membering so that we can put it back together - to re-member. If you are in the dis-membering, or the deconstruction of any kind, The Rooted Woman can be an integral piece when it comes to your next chapter. 
During this journey we will delve into the sacred mysteries of the female body, honoring her wisdom and intricacies as a reflection of divine creation. Through this exploration, you will cultivate a deeper connection with your body, mind, and spirit – reclaiming your sovereignty and autonomy in the process.

Are you ready to embrace the sacred unraveling of programming and conditioning and reclaim your inner knowing?
If you are, this is your formal invitation to join me and 4 incredible women I have intentionally requested to join this container to share their embodied wisdom in The Rooted Woman. 

The Rooted Woman is more than just a course – it is a sanctuary where you will find solace, support, and sisterhood every step of the way.
We will spend 13 weeks together diving into these...

I'm excited to host today's solo episode. We'll be continuing our series on Informed Consent with a critical discussion on male circumcision.
This conversation is only addressing male circumcision because in 1996 federal laws were passed banning female genital cutting in the USA - (but male circumcision is still done as a routine procedure on the daily)
This is a heated conversation, and even if you are a girl-mom I still encourage you to listen as this is an issue that affects us as a WHOLE. Circumcision fundamentally changes the boy forever.
For those of you who don’t know - Circumcisions is the most common surgery in the USA. It is the surgical removal of the foreskin from the penis and it It is typically performed within the first few days of a baby’s life.
I include that there are 127 references of why circumcision is of no value in the New Testament. If we want to claim Christianity as the reason to cut our sons - wasn’t Jesus the last blood / flesh offering on behalf of humanity?
Hospitals and out patient surgeries are not required to keep record of botched procedures, or in the instances of death.
As this is an informed consent episode I want to note that yes, my bias shows AND I list the "proposed" benefits, and the inherent risks that accompany circumcision.
Thank you for joining me in this critical conversation on Matriarchal Medicine. I've linked resources and further reading below. Let's continue to advocate for true informed consent and protect our children from unnecessary harm. ✨✌🏼

In this episode I give a QUICK explanation of what the minimum dose is in homeopathy. I also formally introduce the first official constitutional remedy profile for this series - Staphysagria.
The etiology for when Staphysagria is indicated, is suppressed anger. Staphysagria is also known as “the divorce remedy”. When women take this remedy, they tend to not put up with what they used to. I’m going to DIVE deep into that during my upcoming FREE Class Staphysagria: Righteous Anger on May 26th because it is such a loaded topic, and relevant for so many of the clients I’ve worked with.
Staphysagria is a beautiful remedy, and this is the first remedy that I’m sharing here that is a constitutional remedy, so it has a HUGE psychological picture as well. This remedy can be used throughout someone’s entire life, to help emotional, mental, and soul wellbeing (if it’s their constitution) AND it can serve as an acute remedy like the ones we’ve already explored thus far (Apis, and Arnica). 
I go over all of this and so much more in my Homeopathy for the Autonomous Woman Course.
I'll continue to share remedy pictures in future episodes, and each episode will build off the last in this series.

In this episode I am joined by Natalie Kanbergs. Natalie shares how she would spend her summer weekends in a cabin in the woods, communing with Mother Nature, and how she would go back to the city and put this version of herself back in the closet. It wasn't until the birth of her first son, Tilden that her family rediscovered the necessity of being in nature and how they decided to embark on a huge move from New York city to the Catskills mountains.
Through this relocation, she and her husband have grown a deep relationship with their land that they steward. She gushes about the truly magical water they have access to. As they have connected to the water of their land and potentiated it using ancient techniques, they have infused this water into all of their products. They welcome you to transform the often overlooked routine of cleansing oneself into a spellbound awakening, giving thanks for the water which flows over your hands and giving back to the earth that which it has given us.
We discuss mothering, community, and healing sister relationships, and I can't wait for you to listen.

In this solo episode of Matriarchal Medicine I am sharing my experience of disordered eating. Let this serve as a listener discretion advisory. 
As I have been preparing for my FREE CLASS Staphysagria:Righteous Anger I found that a lot of anger that I have suppressed over the years was resurfacing - and most of it was around my eating disorders since I was a little girl. In this episode I share an intimate look at how I started restricting calories, and yo-yo dieted alongside the adult women in my life from a young age, to eventually having a breast reduction at the age of 12.
After my reduction my eating disorder really took off, with binging and purging, appetite suppressants and eventually stealing phentermine and running for hours on the elliptical. This is something that I realized through the course of this episode that I'm still navigating in my 30's and in the same breathe, I'm meeting my body with more love and gratitude than I ever have before.
I know so much of what I share could very well be your story, or your daughter's experience and that's why I'm sharing - because we all know we lived through it, but not a lot of us are willing to openly admit it and bring it into our consciousness.

Listener Discretion Advisory: I am joined by Zascha Samuels (I pronounce her name wrong multiple times throughout this episode) but nonetheless, I am so excited for you to hear our conversation and her story. In this episode she shares her journey through her parent’s divorce, how she went from a high achieving student to skipping classes just so she could sleep in her car because of the debilitating fatigue she experienced. After years of being gaslit by multiple providers (and even herself at times) she was finally diagnosed with Lyme disease. 
This will also serve as listener’s distraction advisory as Zascha’s story includes suicide ideation and attempts, being institutionalized. She also affectionately shares how she and her now husband met and he truly CARED for her during her time of being bedridden, carrying her to and from appointments and financially tending to their household needs. She shares her experience through a holistic lens - emotionally, mentally, and physically.
Here is the song I mentioned in this episode.
