20. WOMB WISDOM ~ Samantha Zipporah on Language and Cycling

In this episode, our host Gaby Azorsky speaks with Samantha Zipporah. Sam has over 20 years of experience providing reproductive & sexual health education & care. Serving both her community & curiosity in personal, professional, & clinical contexts. She is devoted to breaking the spells of oppression in reproductive & sexual health by connecting people to the innate pleasure & power of their bodies. She has provided care for all types of pregnancy release & a myriad of gynecological processes & procedures professionally in hospitals, clinics, & home settings.  Her work comes from an ancient lineage of midwives, witches, & wise women. At this moment in time, her current and most robust offering for womb wisdom seekers and keepers is called The Fruit of Knowledge Learning Community. She is also the author of a handful of wonderful books which you can find via her website ~ Holistic Healing After Abortion, Holistic Healing After Miscarriage, Mapping the Yoniverse, and my personal favorite, Please Bleed: Plants & Practical Magic for If You Accidentally Get Sperm in Your Vagina, plus a few more.  We share the philosophies that healthy sexuality & fertility are sources of joy & power and that the cycles of nature have much to teach us about how to thrive.  I found her work via The School of the Sacred Wild where she was a guest expert lecturer, and taught us about the relationship between Orgasm and Oxytocin. I learned so much and went on to listen to her on other podcasts, and especially appreciated her inclusivity and love of etymology.   In our conversation today, we talk about womb wisdom, cycling, menstruation, language, fertility awareness, ovulation, herbs, navigating abortion and miscarriage, and general womb vibes.  Thank you Sam for sharing your wisdom!  ~ JOIN OUR SUMMER MEDITATION CIRCLE  Ripen into your fullness under the July Sun 🌞 Join Gaby in a 21 day summer meditation circle to create space & clarity and tune into your juiciness!
