I was so inspired by Bethanee and our conversation. I hold a vision for motherhood that is true integration and joy: bringing together all the parts of ourselves into a beautiful life. Bethanee shares her life and mothering perspectives with us.
and we talk about a lot of different topics within this realm: farming with her children, weaving ceremony into their everyday lives, becoming a more resourced mother, and so much more. Tune in to hear it all... (and share anything that comes up for you in the IG post for this episode)



Bethanee Wright is a home-birthing mother of two daughters, wife of her beloved husband, organic farmer (⁠Winterfell Acres⁠) and shamanic practitioner (Earth & Cosmos Shamanic Healing) from southern Wisconsin. Devoted to embodied living, anchored to the Earth’s cycles, she is continually exploring how to weave conscious mothering, growing good food and shamanic living into everyday life. Bethanee loves diving deep into healing work to get into those juicy, life-changing depths that create space for authentic living. She offers healing sessions, audio tracks and classes to support your healing path and, of course, lots of organic produce grown with love.

Last September (2023), I was a guest on the Crunchy Mom Club podcast with Erika Wirth. I thought it would be fun to share that conversation here (and she posted my recent conversation with her, on her podcast as well (check out her ep. 41).

Erika reaching out to me initially actually began such a sweet friendship and I'm so glad she did.

In this conversation, I share my "origin story" with my work, and I talk about other things that I haven't talked about anywhere, including one of my most potent motherhood initiations. I also talk about being in the pre-conception time in that moment, spirit babies, dreams and visions, and more. I always enjoy talking with Erika. Enjoy 3

This week, I speak with Kass, a woman devoted to mothers living in a state of embodiment, regulation, and pleasure, offered through her somatic tools. She talks about....




Her own postpartum experience and initiation
Healing as sitting with the body, and its sensations and stories
Pregnancy and birth as a womb cleansing on all levels
The vulnerability of the postpartum time and rooting in ourselves above all, and sovereign pregnancy as preparation for knowing in motherhood
The difference between physiological worry in motherhood and when it becomes an issue
Kass shares a couple of practices for embodiment and regulation in difficult moments in motherhood
Getting out and feeling emotions, and integrating our kids into it
The importance of accessing and loving from our sexual energy/life force in motherhood


Kass is a soon to be mama of two boys, somatic practitioner, and sacred birth and postpartum keeper. After healing her own chronic pelvic pain and experiencing her homebirth cesarean, she works with women to remind them of their innate connection to their bodies’ wisdom. Her work is dedicated to the women creating a revolution of mamas prioritizing regulation, rest, pleasure, and play (ie you!).

This week, Hannah Grace shares the wild and sweet birth stories of her two sons. Each story carries its own beauty and wisdom. Enjoy and be inspired!



Hannah Grace resides on her tiny forming homestead in the Appalachian mountains with her beloved partner and 2 precious sons. Motherhood and partnership is at the center of her life, allowing her sacred roles to transform her into her highest. After her title of mother, she is a somatic practitioner and former classically trained dancer who fuses together both worlds for her somatic dance offerings. She values living close with the land and elements and is forever a student of life. She loves conversations that include birth, babies, baking, bodywork, life preparedness, trauma healing, death, and when she asks “how are you?” she is ready for the full and honest answer.
