Welcome to the Unhinged Pregnant Women Episode!

We are joined today by the hilarious, brillant, fiercely tender Stephanie Simbari—comedian, writer, actress, podcast host, and mother—for an intimate and wickedly honest dialogue on conscious partnership, ancestral healing, pregnancy, birth, creativity, grief, and the feminine superpowers awakened through motherhood.

We Discuss:

• Healing the maternal lineage & breaking generational patterns of silencing
• How pregnancy became a portal into wild feminine expression and karmic fulfillment
• The paradox of motherhood: losing morning rituals, losing identity, and finding deeper nourishment
• Being a "sponge" rather than an empath & why boundaries matter more than labels
• Creative rituals, morning pages, dream processing & anchoring into self
• The grief portal: losing her mother, supporting her through death, and emerging transformed
• Sex, celibacy & calling in the father of your children
• Pregnancy as both blessing and sacrifice—body changes, identity shifts & energetic depletion
• The psychedelic nature of unmedicated birth & why surrender is the medicine
• Home birth vs. hospital birth, fear culture & reclaiming physiological birth
• Navigating partnerships, blended families & inviting older children into the birth field
• Reviving creative identity after motherhood and the fear of using one's voice again
• Stephanie's new project Moms Are People Too and the tender rebirth of public expression
• Her upcoming live show in Malibu — reconnecting to the stage after a decade
• Astrology, Human Design & the cosmic timing of babies!

We Love You, Steph!

Tune in for an empowering reframe on all things birth.

We welcome the brilliant Lori Bregman—renowned doula, life coach, spiritual mentor, and author—for a deep dive on pregnancy, birth, capacity and motherhood as our host Nitsa enters her 33rd week of pregnancy.

Lori is the real deal. With 26+ years of experience and over 1,600 births attended worldwide, she offers a rare refinement of intuition, wisdom, and grounded practicality to the field. She reminds us that every birth is a unique rite of passage—a spiritual and physical initiation that asks us to both soften into and invoke our deepest power.

From riding the intense waves of labor, to navigating hospitals with sovereignty and tapping into the psychedelic edges of transition, Bregman offers life-changing guidance for expectant mothers, partners, birth workers, and anyone walking the motherhood path.

We are so grateful to have you as our doula Lori!

Desire has the power to heal our world as much as destroy it.

In this tender, deep and expansive dialogue, Nina and Nitsa explore what it means to fully live and love as women. From essential rebellion to the ache of desire, the rapture of surrender, partnership and embodied love — we dive into the full spectrum of the feminine experience in relationship to others and ourselves.
