Today, on the podcast, Nancy shares her profound journey through various stages of womanhood, guided by the wisdom of her womb. From her orientation towards spirituality from a young age and a courageous move across the country to discover her spiritual path to Nancy’s unexpected first pregnancy that initiated her into Motherhood, this episode is full of stories of trust. 

A significant portion of Nancy's story is dedicated to the birth stories of her four children and includes the birth and loss of her baby, Lilah, at 27 weeks, which deeply affected her spiritual path and further solidified her trust in her womb's guidance. Throughout the episode, Nancy emphasizes the importance of trusting the womb's wisdom, embracing the cyclical nature of life, and finding presence amidst profound grief. Her journey highlights the transformative power of fully embodying each phase of womanhood and the deep spiritual insights that arise from these experiences.
