In this episode of the Rising Women Leaders podcast, I sit down with womb healing pioneer, teacher, and founder of Womb Health Academy, Numana Marie Joy, for a rich conversation about womb health, intuition, the wisdom of the honey bees, and the sacred path of feminine leadership. Our conversation explores what becomes possible when women reconnect with the intelligence of their bodies and begin listening to the wisdom that lives within the womb. We talk about healing stored trauma, honoring the cyclical nature of being a woman, and remembering the ancient teachings that have long connected women to the natural world. Numana also shares her fascinating journey from her priestess background to becoming a global leader in womb-centered healing, the story behind her name change, and why the honey bee has become such a powerful teacher for the feminine.
