    Ep. 13 How I healed my Oral Allergy Syndrome through embodiment

    For over 20 years, I couldn't eat a raw apple. Or carrots, pears, cherries, plums and the list went on and on. What started as a strange tingling sensation in my mouth as a teenager eventually became years of anxiety around food, fear of allergic reactions, panic attacks, doctor visits, allergist appointments, naturopathic protocols, and constantly wondering where the nearest hospital was whenever I ate something unfamiliar. In this episode, I share my personal journey with Oral Allergy Syndrome (also known as Pollen Food Allergy Syndrome), how it affected my life, and the surprising way my symptoms began to change through embodiment work. This is not a story about finding a miracle cure. It's a story about reconnecting to my body, exploring the relationship between the nervous system and immune system, releasing years of tension, fear, and emotional holding patterns, and discovering what became possible when I stopped treating my body like the enemy. I also share the experiences that shaped my relationship with safety, trust, boundaries, anxiety, and self-expression, and why I believe the body often speaks through symptoms long before we learn how to listen. 🌹 In This Episode We Talk About:What Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) isThe foods I reacted to for over 20 yearsGrowing up with allergies, asthma, and a reactive immune systemThe tattoo reactions that landed me in the hospitalAnxiety, panic attacks, and fear around foodThe connection between stress, trauma, and the bodyWhy conventional approaches never gave me the answers I was looking forThe embodiment session that changed everythingLearning to listen to the wisdom of the bodyThe relationship between nervous system regulation and healingBoundaries, self-trust, and reclaiming personal powerWhy symptoms may sometimes be invitations rather than enemiesThe role embodiment played in my healing journey✨ Important NoteThis episode shares my personal experience and is not medical advice. Please continue following the recommendations of your healthcare providers regarding allergies, medications, EpiPens, and medical treatment. 🔥 Mentioned in This EpisodeEmbodi Your Wild Women's RetreatA luxurious, witchy, embodied weekend for women ready to reconnect with their bodies, pleasure, erotic power, and wild feminine nature through movement, somatic practices, rest, nature, sisterhood, and deep nourishment.

    Ep. 12 The truth about female pleasure & sexual empowerment | Jenna Switzer

    In this episode of Embodi Your Wild, I sit down with holistic sex coach Jenna Switzer for an open, honest, and deeply empowering conversation about sex, pleasure, intimacy, shame, pelvic floor healing, and what it really means to feel empowered in your body. We talk about the difference between performative sexuality and true embodied intimacy, why so many women feel disconnected from pleasure, and how nervous system regulation, stress, shame, trauma, and everyday life all impact our relationship with sex. Jenna shares her personal journey through purity culture, sexual trauma, pelvic floor healing, and rediscovering her own pleasure — and how that led her into becoming a holistic sex coach helping others reconnect to intimacy in a way that feels safe, authentic, and deeply nourishing. This conversation goes far beyond the bedroom. It’s about learning to feel, soften, receive, communicate, and reconnect to yourself.

    Ep. 11 Empowered birth starts with informed choice | Lyanne Pinto

    I sit down with former midwife and birth advocate Lyanne Pinto for a powerful conversation about birth, informed choice, intuition, and reclaiming trust in the female body. With over 18 years attending births and 13 years working as a midwife, Lyanne shares her perspective on how modern birth culture has become deeply rooted in fear, disconnection, and over-medicalization — and why women deserve better education, deeper support, and true informed choice throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. We talk about empowered birth, nervous system regulation, the connection between the voice and the womb, advocating for yourself within the healthcare system, and how women can reconnect to their intuition and inner knowing during one of the most transformative experiences of their lives. This conversation is raw, honest, empowering, and deeply validating for any woman navigating pregnancy, motherhood, or her relationship with her body.

    Ep. 10 Own your Erotic Energy

    In this episode of Embodi Your Wild, I dive into what erotic energy actually is — beyond sex, beyond seduction, beyond performative femininity. When most people hear the word “erotic,” they immediately think of sex, porn, or being desirable for someone else. But erotic energy is so much deeper than that. It’s your life force. Your creativity. Your aliveness. Your pleasure. Your voice. Your boundaries. Your power. This episode is about reconnecting to the current that lives inside your body and reclaiming the parts of yourself that may have been buried under stress, overgiving, shame, people-pleasing, burnout, trauma, and disconnection. I also guide you through a grounding embodiment practice to help you connect to your womb, your body, and your own erotic energy in a deeper way. 🌹 In This Episode I Talk About:What erotic energy actually isThe difference between erotic energy & sexual energyWhy so many women feel disconnected from themselvesHow stress, trauma & overgiving disconnect us from the bodyErotic energy as creativity, life force & expansionBoundaries, identity & energetic protectionThe connection between pleasure, pain & sensationWhy pleasure is our birthrightHow erotic energy impacts money, creativity & self-worthCycles, nervous system regulation & feminine energyLearning to trust your body’s “full body yes” and “full body no”Reconnecting to yourself through embodiment practices🔥 Retreat Embodi Your Wild Women’s Retreat A deeper, witchier, more embodied weekend experience for women ready to reconnect to themselves through movement, shadow work, somatics, sisterhood, rest, sensuality, and nature.

    Ep. 9 Two suitcases, a pole & womb work | EmbodiPole Coach Erika

    In this episode of Embodi Your Wild, I sit down with EmbodiPole Coach Erika to explore her journey from Mexico to Canada with nothing but two suitcases and her pole… and how movement became medicine through some of the biggest transitions of her life. We dive into embodiment, womb work, birth, menstrual cycle awareness, voice activation, and the powerful connection between the body, movement, and healing. Erika shares how pole supported her through heartbreak, isolation during the pandemic, and finding home within herself while also stepping into her work as a doula and women’s health educator. This conversation is a reminder that the body holds wisdom… and when women feel safe enough to soften, express, and listen inward, transformation happens. What We Explore: Erika’s move from Mexico to CanadaHow pole became medicine through life transitionsThe evolution from acrobatic pole to embodiment & flowBecoming a doula and supporting women through birthThe connection between voice, sound & the wombWhy women are so disconnected from their bodiesMenstrual cycle awareness & reconnecting to feminine rhythmsThe importance of community and safe spaces for womenEmbodiment as a pathway to healing, pleasure & self-expressionThe “Wild Womban” energy and learning to trust the body🔥 Connect with KarolyneInstagram: @itsmekarolyne @embodipole Learn more about EmbodiPole: www.embodipole.com

From starting pole strictly for the athletic challenge to discovering her deeply sensual side, Meghan shares exactly what it looks like to evolve from sport to embodiment.
