Sovereign Home Birth: How Reclaiming My Power in Childbirth Rewrote My Life

In this solo, heart-led episode, I’m taking you into the wild, holy story of my births — the ones that softened me, shattered me, awakened me, and rebuilt me as a sovereign woman.

From my first unplanned pregnancy at 21…
to birth center protocols…
to the surprise hospital transfer that broke my trust in myself…
to the autonomous home births that returned me to my body’s ancient wisdom —
this is the journey of remembering my power.

I talk about:
✨ Hospital vs. birth center vs. homebirth vs. freebirth
✨ The difference between managing birth and surrendering to physiological birth
✨ How fear shows up when we don’t understand what our body is doing
✨ The holy reclamation that happens when we choose our birth on purpose
✨ The role of traditional midwives, sovereignty, and deep self-trust
✨ What it means to birth yourself while birthing your baby

This episode is for the woman standing at the threshold — the one who feels the pull toward something more instinctual, more intuitive, more hers.

Birth is not something that happens to you.
Birth is something you do.
And when you do it in your power, you don’t just birth a baby.
You birth yourself.

If you’re on the path of reclaiming your birth story, you are not alone.

From Single Mom to Empowered Woman: How to Heal, Reclaim, and Rise with Kylie Watkins

In this episode of The Ecstatic Life Podcast, I sit down with Kylie Watkins, founder of MumPowered.co—a coaching space devoted to helping single and solo moms rise from survival mode into empowerment.

Kylie opens her heart about her journey from almost-married to single motherhood—the heartbreak, the loneliness, the wild recalibration of identity that followed. We talk honestly about what it really means to be a “single mom” versus a “solo mom” (or as I like to say, a single married mom), and the quiet ways these roles can shape a woman’s sense of worth.

We go deep on the guilt, the societal pressure, the invisible labor—and the radical power of building a community that actually gets it. I share pieces of my own story as a single mom in college, doing the damn thing while trying to keep my soul intact.

Together, Kylie and I explore how self-care, embodiment, and sisterhood can become sacred acts of reclamation. And we give you a peek inside our upcoming Reset + Revive Challenge—a space for moms to find their peace, power, and pleasure again, even in the thick of chaos.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying it all and losing yourself in the process—this one’s for you.

How to Reclaim Pleasure - after Kids, Midlife and Long-term Partnership with guest Cindy Scharkey

Ready to break free from shame and reclaim your pleasure? 

In this powerful episode, I sit down with pleasure expert and 'Permission for Pleasure' podcast host Cindy Scharkey to explore how women can create a more empowered, joyful relationship with their bodies and sexuality.

Together we dive into:
✨ Why women’s pleasure has been silenced for generations—and how to reclaim it
✨ The difference between sensuality and sexuality (and why it matters)
✨ How desire evolves in long-term relationships—and what to do when spontaneity fades
✨ Practical ways to bring more mindfulness, communication, and intention into intimacy
✨ Releasing shame around self-pleasure and embracing it as self-care
✨ Why it’s never too late to reconnect with your body, your cycles, and your desire

Cindy’s wisdom is a reminder that pleasure isn’t selfish—it’s essential. Whether you’re in postpartum, midlife, navigating partnership, or just beginning to explore your body with new awareness, this conversation offers hope, healing, and permission to thrive.

Tune in, take notes, and start tending your own garden of pleasure.

Dispelling the Myth that Self-care is Selfish for Moms

We’ve been told the biggest lie: that a “good woman” is selfless. That the best wife, mother, and partner gives until she’s empty. But what if that’s the very thing breaking our marriages, burning us out, and stealing our joy?

In this episode, I’m unpacking the myth tht self-care is selfish and revealing why filling your own cup first is the most loving thing you can do—for your marriage, your children, and your soul.

We’ll dive into:
💔 Why self-sacrifice leaves women resentful, disconnected, and exhausted
🌸 How self-care is actually self-leadership (not indulgence!)
🔥 Simple practices to regulate your nervous system, reclaim your joy, and embody your feminine power
💍 Why a happy marriage doesn’t start with fixing your partner—it starts with YOU

If you’re tired of living on empty and you’re ready to reclaim your wholeness, this episode is for you.

Healing the Sister Wound and Reclaiming Sisterhood

In this episode, I’m joined once more by the radiant Shellbe Cucuel as we journey into the heart of sisterhood. Together, we unravel the sister wound—that inherited ache of mistrust, jealousy, and competition born from centuries of patriarchal conditioning.

Through stories both tender and raw—from my own high school battles to Shellbe’s wisdom on raising daughters—we illuminate what it means to heal, to remember, and to reclaim the sacred bond between women. This conversation is an invitation: to shed old patterns, to soften into trust, and to create circles where women truly see and celebrate one another.

✨ Join us as we dream of a world where sisterhood is medicine. And don’t miss our upcoming gatherings—spaces woven with intention, healing, and the magic of community!

What Women Actually Want from Men

What do women actually want? It’s the question men have asked for centuries — and the one women have often been too afraid to answer honestly, or maybe don't even know the answer to.

In this episode, I dive deep into the inner tug-of-war between desire and people-pleasing, and how denying our deepest longings can leave us resentful, disconnected, and exhausted. I share my own marriage story — how my unhealed wounds collided with my husband’s, and how healing my nervous system helped me see him more clearly and invite him into his mature masculine.

We’ll explore:

• Why desire is a God-led impulse, not something shameful.

• What women actually crave in a partner (it’s not what you think).

• The feminine longing to exhale, soften, and surrender.

• The shadow side: testing, people-pleasing, and emasculation.

• The truth behind the “Love & Respect” model.

• A radical reframe of what both men and women truly need.

 If you’re ready to do the inner work that heals marriages from the inside out, I’d love to walk alongside you: nicolegoffspeaks.com
