Are you feeling like the healthcare system isn’t meeting your needs?

You’re not alone. In this episode of the Womb Women Podcast, Britt and Erica invite you into an honest, heartfelt conversation about what happens when healthcare issues in America leave women searching for something more.

They’re talking about how tuning into the sacred feminine and embracing womb healing can be the key to reclaiming your health and stepping into your power.

Britt and Erica check in on where they are in their practices now, and open up about their journeys—how they started in traditional healthcare and quickly saw the healthcare issues in America. They’ll take you behind the scenes of their work in integrative women’s health, sharing how they learned to listen to their bodies, honor the sacred feminine, and help other women do the same.

Here’s what they’re diving into in this episode:

• Womb healing as a powerful tool for physical and emotional well-being—and why it’s still overlooked in mainstream health.
• How the sacred feminine can help you reconnect with your body and reclaim your voice.
• Britt’s honest reflections on how she realized integrative women’s health was the missing piece in her practice.
• Why so many women feel unseen in traditional healthcare and how healthcare issues in America affect our health and healing.
• Practical tips for slowing down, tuning in, and finding support in a like-minded community for integrative women’s health.

We see you, and we know how hard it can be to navigate a system that feels more focused on symptoms than true healing. But there’s another way—a way that honors your body, your cycles, and your sacred feminine.

After you listen, come share your thoughts! How has womb healing or connecting with the sacred feminine changed your life? We’d love to hear from you over on Instagram @wombwomenpodcast.
