LATEST PODCAST
Best of 2022
As 2022 comes to a close, I decided to ask some of the members of my team what their favorite podcasts of the year were.
Five years ago, when I started this podcast, I had no producer, no intro or outro, and questionable audio quality. But I knew that if I waited til I had everything in place and perfect, I would never do it.
170 episodes, 1 million downloads, 1 rebrand (formerly the Magamama podcast) and many AMAZING guests later, here we are.

Sex, Birth, & Trauma is your invitation to join this conversation at a deeper level as we ask the big questions about how we can be more human, and more humane in our relationships, and reconnect with our primal wildness.
