Welcome to the Her On Top Podcast, Season 2, Episode 3! Kayla discusses the idea of Egg Wisdom and how we can learn from the new and improved narrative of how an egg and sperm meet during the reproductive process. Kayla describes the 4 phases that occur with the egg and sperm and what lessons we can learn from each phase to live out in our own lives. Kayla provides a new lens for women and womb owners to look at their body through in order to heal negative body image and reclaim the power and possibility our bodies hold.

Welcome to the Her On Top Podcast, Season 2, Episode 2! Kayla sheds light on the insanity our world is currently in right now when it comes to access to abortion and women's health care. With the 2 year anniversary since Roe v. Wade was overturned by the Supreme Court, Kayla tells her own personal story of seeking and having an abortion to help other mothers seeking abortion or women who just simply do not want to become mothers feel normal and justified in their right to the decision that is best for them. Kayla provides the statistic that 6 out 10 women who seek abortions already have at least one child and half of those women have at least two children. The majority of women seeking abortion are mothers and yet we never hear their stories. Here is one story to give women a sense of community and solidarity. Kayla wants to make her voice known and not shy away from this topic just because our country is trying to silence women's voices and experiences. This is an important election year and our voices and stories can make a difference.

The Abortion Project no longer has a website but here is a podcast episode they were on.

Here is also an article about the pictures they took and descriptions of what happens in a medical abortion. Do note these photos are graphic so be gentle with yourself on what you are comfortable with.

Their free abortion guide is also no longer available so if you message me, I would be happy to send that to you.

Welcome to the Her On Top Podcast, Season 2 Episode 1! Kayla addresses the shift to the podcast becoming a solo show and where Alex has gone. Kayla then discusses where she has been these last few months and what has been influencing her new direction for the podcast. Kayla talks about Kate Northrup and Sarah Jenks and how they have been extremely influential in guiding her to wanting to work solely with women in her practice and on this podcast. Kayla then discusses cyclical living and the 4 phases of the menstrual cycle. Kayla explains the different energy levels women and people with wombs have in each phase and why this knowledge matters. Kayla questions what could have been different if this was what we learned about periods and the menstrual cycle instead of all the shameful narratives. Kayla ends by sharing how women can use this knowledge to be more reverent and caring towards themselves and their bodies and feel more connected to their inner strength and power.
