In this deeply nourishing conversation, Isabelle is joined by Jessica Golden, women’s health practitioner, acupuncturist, ritual guide, and mother, to explore motherhood as a rite of passage—and what happens when women are not held through that threshold.

Together, they unpack the lost art of wintering: slowing down, integrating, and tending the womb as both a physical and energetic center of wisdom. This episode offers language, permission, and an embodied experience for mothers who feel stretched thin, quietly grieving, or disconnected from themselves.

Jessica also leads listeners through a gentle womb-centered drop-in practice, inviting you to feel—not just think—your way home.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Why empowerment begins with sovereignty, agency, and inner authority
• Motherhood as an initiation—and what’s missing in modern culture
• Wintering as a verb (and why postpartum, projects, and even dinner need it)
• The womb as a creative, energetic center (for all women)
• How grief, resentment, and exhaustion live in the body—and how to listen
• A short, embodied womb-connection practice you can return to anytime
