I cover: - how yoga helped me travel to 16 different countries in 3 years, and get paid for doing it - how I went from a "grippy" relationship with money to an abundant one by cultivating self-worth through yoga - why I started a yoga studio and yoga teacher training, and how it ended and more.

    It's All in the Head / Stop Blaming Bread Cheeky, I know - listen all the way through to understand what this really means. DISCLAIMER: You can tell I am way under-slept and way over-caffeinated in this episode from my couple of wrong-word usages. Still, I thought the information was valuable enough to put out. Thank you for bearing with me and my newborn-baby brain. For example, I reference a study done on frogs which was actually done on MICE (haha!). Our pond has become a pollywog breeding ground, so I must have frogs on the brain. In this episode we discuss: * how brain changes (chemical and physical) represent one of the root causes of nearly every chronic disease * what is the ACE test and why it might be affecting you today * how to overcome brain changes now to reverse chronic illness and more.

    Well it's been a great run, and I am ready to get cancelled again. LOL. Just Kidding. I know many of the views that I express here will be controversial, but - I cannot stand the thought of my daughter growing up in a world in which women's own standards for themselves are so damn low. TRIGGER WARNING for this episode: we discuss medical rape. There are some key contextual elements that I forgot to mention, so please see those here: Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, was a eugenicist Whistleblowers on Sexual Assault in Gynecology Dayum, I didn't even get into the history of Twilight Sleep + all that good stuff!!! I also want to make an important DISCLAIMER: I fully believe there are cases in which a safe medical DNC is necessary, particularly for the health of the mother. It is imperative that women fight to retain sovereignty over there own bodies from government authorities. This episode simply offers alternative thoughts for the millions of women who do not fall in that category. In this episode, we cover: - this history of obstetrics - issues with gynecology - perspective on birth interventions - does cancer screening really change outcomes? - the history of birth control - Post Birth Control Syndrome - midwives and abortion and the history of abortion Here are some resources to dive deeper: Witches. Midwives + Nurses History of Birth Beyond the Pill Unassisted Birth ** please note that when I reference "midwives", I am referring to traditional, unlicensed midwives. Unfortunately, licensure and midwifery schools have taken many midwives hostage and created an "at-home OB" situation that centers liability instead of women's rights. and more. Please have the courage to come to me with discussions or questions at samanthamz@protonmail.com instead of an online echo chamber. And as always, this podcast is not for everyone.
