Alexandra Durigan is an RN BSN and Founder of ORIGIN Pelvic Care, having spent her time as a nurse working on a Women’s Specialty Care Unit. During this time Alexandra was a first hand witness to the skyrocketing rates of pelvic disorders, reproductive surgeries, birth trauma, and the health outcomes that take place when there is a lack of true care for women's bodies. Alexandra began to ask the question of “how did we get here”, and set off on a path to discovering “more for our womanhood”. Alexandra’s passion for women’s health led her to the exploration and resurrection of original women’s care. She left Allopathic Care to found her practice ORIGIN Pelvic Care which is hands on Ceremonial Whole Woman Whole Pelvic Care in service to women and the womb, the Origin of life. Alexandra’s work through ORIGIN Pelvic Care serves women in the realms of Sexuality and Pleasure, Reproductive Health, and The Birth Continuum. Alexandra shares that “there was a time before the beginning of allopathic medicine where women and their wombs were richly cared for. Where the importance of nourishing our bodies as women, throughout our lifetime, was cellularly understood and upheld by the collective. A time where women and their wombs were held in reverence by the tribe. Where it was woven through lineage and culture to honor the sacredness of our feminine physiology and life giving bodies. The foundation of my work today is the remembrance of lineage and literacy for our feminine physiology, woven with leading research, science, and ceremony". Her mission through her private Hands On Care Practice and Global Practitioner Teaching Program is in service to a regenerative potential for women and the womb, and a regenerative future of Global Womb Healing.

In this episode I explore what being a mama on the medicine path has taught me and how inviting entheogens into our mothering can be deeply supportive and transformative. Sacred plant medicines have been some of my greatest allies when it come to parenting. Parenting in and of itself can be very similar to a psychedelic journey utilizing many of the same tools. This has been a taboo topic for many reasons but now this narrative is beginning to change as many mothers are coming out of the psychedelic closet to tell their story. This is my story. This winding Seven Fold Path of the EntheoMama is what I have learned by letting psychedelics support my journey.

Introducing The Boldly Embodied Podcast!
I am your host, Juliana Rose Goldstone. I am a Certified Somatic Sex Educator, Entheomama, and avid explorer of the potentials and possibilities of human consciousness and embodiment. I would love to invite you to join me as I joyfully straddle the intersections of sex, natural healing, psychedelics, sovereign relationship and conscious parenting.
I invite you to join in conversions where we explore questions like, what does it actually take to live a boldly embodied life at this time of polarization, fear, shame, and, ultimately, deep transformation? What does it take to keep our grit, humor and pleasure alive and thriving in these times? And what does it take to raise up the future generations with integrity utilizing all of our sacred human technologies? Well, I have dedicated my life to these questions and I hope to invite you to play in them with me!
I am an avid explorer of the transformation that happens right at the edge of what we believe to be possible. As a committed mother, poet, birth worker, world traveler, somatic sex educator, psychedelic explorer, and intimacy guide I have had the deep pleasure to ponder the vast scope of what it means to be a truly boldly embodied human on the planet and walk beside some truly courageous souls as they embark on their journey of reclamation. Over the years, my travels have given me the great privilege to dive into some pretty juicy conversations with so many amazing teachers, sex workers, medicine people, parents, midwives, thought leaders, artists and overall badass warriors all holding their part of this human puzzle. Let’s just say the life I lead and the company I keep is far from boring!
These times are asking us to come out of hiding and be bold in the parts of us that make us so uniquely and beautifully human. This podcast is for the reluctant revolutionary, the brazen mold breaker and the whimsical imagination farmer in all of us.
This podcast is born from a deep desire to open the doors of my heart and invite you to join in the deepest musings that live there. This is an invitation to witness the kinds of bold conversations that get me up in the morning and keep me curious about this strange human existence.
So have a seat on my virtual velvet couch, let me pour you a cup of tea as you listen in on conversations with some amazing thought leaders, visionaries, disruptionaries and culture creators as we dive into the important topics that sit right on the tips of all of our tongues or hidden in the secret corners of our hearts. The topics that you might long to dive into if only someone else would bring it up first! In other words, the conversations that make us so boldly and beautifully human.
I hope you will stick around and enjoy this magic carpet ride!
