SEX, DEATH, BIRTH & BEYOND with Stephanie Simbari

Welcome to the Unhinged Pregnant Women Episode! We are joined today by the hilarious, brillant, fiercely tender Stephanie Simbari—comedian, writer, actress, podcast host, and mother—for an intimate and wickedly honest dialogue on conscious partnership, ancestral healing, pregnancy, birth, creativity, grief, and the feminine superpowers awakened through motherhood. We Discuss: Healing the maternal lineage & breaking generational patterns of silencing How pregnancy became a portal into wild feminine expression and karmic fulfillment The paradox of motherhood: losing morning rituals, losing identity, and finding deeper nourishment Being a "sponge" rather than an empath & why boundaries matter more than labels Creative rituals,  morning pages, dream processing & anchoring into self  The grief portal: losing her mother, supporting her through death, and emerging transformed Sex, celibacy & calling in the father of your children Pregnancy as both blessing and sacrifice—body changes, identity shifts & energetic depletion The psychedelic nature of unmedicated birth & why surrender is the medicine Home birth vs. hospital birth, fear culture & reclaiming physiological birth Navigating partnerships, blended families & inviting older children into the birth field Reviving creative identity after motherhood and the fear of using one's voice again Stephanie's new project Moms Are People Too and the tender rebirth of public expression Her upcoming live show in Malibu — reconnecting to the stage after a decade Astrology, Human Design & the cosmic timing of babies!

Tune in for an empowering reframe on all things birth.  We welcome the brilliant Lori Bregman—renowned doula, life coach, spiritual  mentor, and author—for a deep dive on pregnancy, birth, capacity and motherhood as our host Nitsa enters her 33rd week of pregnancy.  Lori is the real deal. With 26+ years of experience and over 1,600 births attended worldwide, she offers a rare refinement of intuition, wisdom, and grounded practicality to the field. She reminds us that every birth is a unique rite of passage—a spiritual and physical initiation that asks us to both soften into and invoke our deepest power. From riding the intense waves of labor, to navigating hospitals with sovereignty and tapping into the psychedelic edges of transition, Bregman offers life-changing guidance for expectant mothers, partners, birth workers, and anyone walking the motherhood path.

Today we salut the multidimensional medicine of the vine with Barbara Gross of Cooper Mountain Vineyards! Barbara is a visionary in organic, biodynamic, alternative viticulture. As a second generation, natural wine grower and purveyor, our guest has faced countless challenges on a daily and multi-generational scale. Her family has devoted the last 46 years to transform conventional vineyards in Oregon's Willamette Valley  into thriving, biodiverse, regenerative ecosystems; specializing in the cultivation of Pinot Noir (a varietal of grape most sensitive to environmental stress and the fluctuations of climate change). Through it all, Barbara has emerged as a sort of wildly down to earth, renegade leader in the wine industry. Tune in, pour yourself a glass of healing wine or tea and muse upon this Dionysian thought: could biodynamically farmed and alchemized wine help save our beloved Earth? COVERED Barbara's legacy of wine stewardship at Cooper Mountain Vineyards Organic + biodynamic certification processes Conscious Land Stewardship The art and science of Pinot Noir, a delicate and climate-sensitive varietal. How natural wines differ from conventional in both taste and their impact on personal & planetary health The role of agriculture in addressing climate change, with insights into carbon-neutral farming How organic, biodynamic vineyards are carbon sinkholes and help sequester up to 30% more carbon than conventional methods The importance of embracing cycles in farming and Life Why a Generational Mindset is needed OFFERING Enjoy 15% off all biodynamic wines + balsamic vinegars from  www.coopermountainwine.com with the code SOUNDFOOD.

"Plants are doorways to the heart and to ourselves." Mariah Gannessa reminds us of this simple truth as she joins us from the jungles of Costa Rica, where she has spent the last decade immersed in the healing cultures of the Amazon. As the founder of the educational platform Four Visions and the nonprofit Magic Fund, Mariah serves as a bridge between native tribes and the rest of the world, advocating for plant medicine, native land conservation, culture, wisdom, conscious commerce and symbiosis. We discuss Mariah's path of self-discovery and the initiations that led her to learn plant medicine with sacred elders in Colombia How she found her purpose and established Four Visions in partnership with 15 indigenous communities across South America.
