I birthed our baby in 2,5 hours.
I didn’t intend to have a free birth, it just kind of unfolded that way. And honestly, up until the first contraction, I can’t say I really felt necessarily courageous or super ready.
But somehow the readiness was there.
A readiness from my body; from my instinctual self. All I needed in that moment was to be left alone, uninterrupted, untouched, to move with the force of birth guided completely by my inner knowing.
Our baby boy Raiden Onyx was born on the 25th of April in 2,5 hours.
This experience changed me forever.
I am in complete awe of everything this journey has taught me. From conscious conception, to my wild pregnancy and sovereign birth.
May my story inspire you…

Since 2010 plant medicine has been part of my life in a very intimate way. This is actually the first time I publicly speak about specific experiences during ceremonies.
The only way that makes sense to me, is to share through story-telling. Not as an expert on the subject. Not as a way to teach you what you should or should not do. But really just as it has been my experience during this pregnancy.
I recorded this right in the final moments of my pregnancy. Simply flowing with whatever information wanted to be shared in the present moment.
I would love to hear how you have connected to plant medicine during pregnancy, or if this is something you feel called to do.

Now that I'm approaching birth for the second time, I've decided to share with you my deep contemplations of how this pregnancy has been preparing me.
In an unexpected way I've needed to integrate many details of my first birth. Eventhough my daughter was born at home and came out perfectly, I've needed to come to terms with the many ways my primal needs weren't accommodated.
For this pregnancy I chose a "wild pregnancy" - no doctors, no tests, just me and my instinctual guidance. It has blown my mind to see how profound and precise this journey has been in comparison to my first.
It is simply because there was no external influence messing with the primal voice of the mother; the primal voice of the dark feminine.

What if insecurity as well as confidence can both be ways in which you sabotage your path of love?
In this delicious conversation with Sam, we talk about our love journey's, and what we are now able to see that wasn't obvious before we met our soulmates.
Interestingly enough we both met our men around the same time, and got pregnant around the same time!
I love and respect Sam for who she is - her intelligence, her wisdom, her embodiment as a sister, woman, partner and mother. We're extremely aligned, and in so many ways so opposite! Which is what makes our connection so interesting and complementary.
I'm sure you'll love this episode!
You can connect with Sam on IG @alchemy.of.awakening - she does beautiful 1:1 work and holds a powerful container for anyone who longs to go deeper into themselves.

Meredith Lynn interviewed me on her podcast “Serving Love”. I absolutely LOVED our chat. Meredith feels like a good friend I haven’t yet met.
So many incredible women, who’ve done a lot of inner work, are extremely self aware, successful and independent…. And yet struggle finding the man that is right for them.
Love should be easy.
What does it take to get there? What are those subtle blind spots that are hiding in your peripheral that are sabotaging what you desire…

Do you want a child or a career? So many women prioritize one or the other and end up feeling incomplete.
The dilemma of the modern woman is exactly that.
We don’t wanna sacrifice our purpose and disappear in the role of motherhood.
Simultaneously, a lot of women in their mid-thirties will feel pressure to pursue a very primal and intimate desire of starting a family.
What would the rest of your life look like without it?
Laura shares vulnerably about her own experience and interpretation of what she’s learnt and perceived in the last decade of questioning this dilemma within herself.
Laura is an amazing teacher. I met her a decade ago, and can confirm she is one of the rare ones who truly embodies what she shares. Her speciality lies in intimacy, sexuality, deep inner connection to the body and the unconscious.

Laura found true love after doing DARE TO LOVE course with me in 2020. Her journey is a very unique one as her blockage in the heart manifested as breast cancer. She discovered the cancer while doing the course.
The support of the group as well as the deep inner work she was doing on her patterns in love and intimacy helped her realize the deeper meaning of the cancer and therefore pushed her even deeper into the incredible healing journey she was on.
She understood the places she had denied her desires, she recognized her self-love and sense of self-worth were truly at the core of what had prevented her to manifest her wish to share life with a man who truly prioritizes her and their love.
When all was healed… the man of her dreams swept her of her feet!

Angell Deer is a dear friend and medicine man. The work he offers is in such integrity, it’s rare to find someone who carries such wisdom and knows how to share it in pure humbleness.
I’m honored to (again) chat with him on his podcast "The Sanctuary".
In this interview we cover:
The shadow of the strong independent womanSelf-sabotage and how it prevents us from getting the love we truly desireHow to move from “protecting the heart” to “feeling secure”What it truly means to be feminine and how this vulnerable power is the opposite of the feminist interpretation of being powerfulHow to combine shamanic and tantric practices to help enter the optimal resonance to attract your soulmate -
Meeting the love of your life can be an ego-shattering, identity crushing whirl of an experience. Many of us dream of finally resting in a secure sense of commitment, but once your there... the initiation can be something that is far beyond what you may expect.
The happily ever after exists, it is real... and, you also gotta be ready for a certain level of Sacrifice it requires to fall into that devotion.
In this episode with Nikki Ananda she shares her story of how she got initiated into love once she met her soulmate. If you haven't listened to part #1, check out episode 016.
Nikki is an intimacy coach and does incredible work. Check her out on IG @nikkiananda and visit nikkiananda.com for more details.

Sometimes we have to suffer, to dare to love more truly. Sometimes we have to get lost, in order to find new expressions of ourselves. Sometimes we have to face our shadows, so that our confidence rises.
In this episode my husband Ruwan and I talk about the cycles of life, pleasure and pain, connection, female sensuality and other personal stories.
This was recorded after coming down from a beautiful day of ceremony. We were caught in a moment of inspiration, and hit record. I hope you'll enjoy this episode as much as we did.

Only a week after finishing DARE TO LOVE, Nikki fell in love with her soul mate. In this episode we talk about love, sabotage and very particular kind of patterns that exist for the strong independent woman.
Nikki is an intimacy life coach herself, which is what made it so interesting for me to work with her. She is extremely self aware, had done an incredible amount of inner work, and yet was still stuck in patterns of dating destructive men.
Until... DARE TO LOVE.
From all my success stories, this is probably my favourite one. I'm certain you are going to LOVE this episode!

In longterm relationships your trust will be tested. Can you open up more? Trust more? Share with more vulnerability?
Of course it’s what we want, but the process in getting there often goes hand-in-hand with discussions that seem to repeat themselves. Like you’re having the same fight again and again without getting to a place of resolution.
What I find quite stereotypical in those kind of growth moments, is that women will often become bitches.
Something that, if you ask me, is very natural and primal.
In this episode I’ll share from my own experience and how a really good fight between Ruwan and I lead to a breakthrough in our growth as a couple.

This episode was originally recorded for Ruwan's podcast.
He says "Men have a new kind of "Fear of Women." It's the fear that the woman they are intimate with, won't want to be in her feminine."

There is not a single experience that comes close to the initiation that happens to a woman after giving birth. It's in those first 40 days that every single layer of our existence breaks open, in order for us to grow into our new form.
Nothing about it is romantic or gentle. It's so raw and real; there's no avoiding.
It’s something I would compare to drinking Ayahuasca 24/7 for 40 days straight. Some days I was in pure ecstatic bliss. And some days I was confronted with parts of myself that had remained hidden.
It was so confronting, so profound, I have no words to really explain what it is like. And yet... I felt called to at least try to give it voice. Simply because it's a subject that is so taboo, it has shocked me.
If anything, we should be talking about this more openly. So that women approaching this initiation are better prepared than most of us are.
-
Birth is probably the most powerful initiation a woman can go through. And the absolute most transformative.
I believe that there is an importance in sharing our stories with the world. In particular a birth story, as it holds such value for sisters who are approaching this initiation in their lives.
So here it is: raw, real and radiant... This is the story of how our beautiful daughter Keilani Moon was born on the 18th of February 2022. The story of our 40 hour unmedicated home birth here in Koh Phangan, Thailand.

The way women value themselves is often based on masculine principles. It's the aspects to life that are measurable and tangible. The aspects that make it obvious in how you feel empowered.
The great transformation I am currently in, has pushed me to question more honestly how I value the feminine. The true feminine. The life-giving, abstract, mysterious part of my expression that cannot be measured so clearly.
This important and overlooked aspect of me demanded me to reframe how I value the feminine in me. And perhaps even redefine what that means.
This episode is to connect with you through personal anecdotes, insights, and to inspire you to contemplate a little deeper about your own inner feminine in a way you perhaps haven't before.
Enjoy

This year has all been about surrender. The teachings of surrender have humbled me, softened me, and given me access to a deeper layer of this feminine power that I never knew existed.
The feminine has been at the center of my path, my life and my purpose. For years I was attached to a particular expression of what this means. Through the experience of becoming a wife and a mother, however, layers of my old self have stripped away and created space for the power of my feminine to arise.
Not the kind of "feminine power" feminists talk about. Actually exactly the opposite. If you wanna know what I mean by this, listen to this episode.
In this podcast episode I share the three layers of surrender that have touched me through the 3 different trimesters of my pregnancy. I share stories, insights, and simply invite you into more personal layers of my transformation.

Identity death is something we all go through at different stages in our life. To me, it started happening once I left my home in Peru and came to Thailand. It feels like everything that happened before coming to Thailand was Book 1 of my life. And by coming here, I have started to write Book 2. I am still trying to discern what this Book 2 is even about, and being in the midst of pregnancy, it seems like only after the birth of this beautiful soul will I be able to know exactly what I am "writing about". And that is the beauty of it - diving into the unknown, dying and being born anew.

The way you choose to trust life together, sets the foundation for growth in the relationship.
Here we are: pregnant, on the road with our two puppies, facing the unknown like never before. Not only is the pregnancy changing who we are in our identities - individually and together - it is also causing us to question our work, what we have created so far, and where we want to go from here.
Although we've had our adventures of transformation in the past, this one is different. Because this one requires us to be a team in this relationship. To face the unknown together. To allow the new to arise by trusting each other more and more, and moving forward as a unity.
It is exciting, open, liberating, and also scary at times. Beyond this step, we literally have no idea what's next.
So, how do you stay open in the unknown? How to be courageous and wise, yet innocent and curious all at once?
In this episode Ruwan and I talk about our current status facing the unknown, and how this can be a an opportunity to bring you closer to your partner.
As a sexy bonus, we talk about some rituals we perform in the bedroom to keep us aligned to our intentions.
In the end, whatever challenge you are faced with, you always have the choice to make the journey pleasurable.

Manifesting love is like a science. It requires you to understand both the law of attraction, as well as the paradoxical nature of love itself. In this episode, I will take you on a journey into my own life of how I maneuvered myself through these nuances. Because obviously it’s part of the heart of my work and everything that I offer, and the work that I do with others. And of course, I am living proof, I’m the full embodiment of what it is that I teach.
This episode is upon requests of many people who read my posts on Instagram, I receive many beautiful comments whenever I share something about my relationship. And so I figured it's time I share a little bit more about how it all came about, because this love journey is quite an epic and unique one. So, I’ve wrapped it in the main teachings I’ve received, which with all my heart, I want to pass on to you.
And with it, I also want to announce that I have launched two new courses, one called Catch Your Queen - which is for men, and one Attract Your King – which is for women. You can go to >>> idaretolove.com to see more about what these courses are about.
