Key Takeaways:

-  The power of a woman’s bleed. 

-  Follow your fear. It is usually pointing you in the right direction.

-  Cancer can be linked to repressed emotions and unresolved issues.

What happens when we finally listen to the wisdom of our bodies? For Pooja Bakhai, it meant walking away from a prestigious Harvard PhD program after battling stage four cancer, moving across the country on intuition alone, and eventually finding herself in the Amazon rainforest on a profound healing journey, after having a conversation with a tree, on a beach, while in Mexico.

This conversation is a masterclass in authentic living. Pooja shares how, despite completing most of her doctoral work, she couldn't even open her research files – a clear sign her path needed to change. Touching on her journey with plant medicine, she shares how this experience helped her recover repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse – memories her body had been holding onto for decades, manifesting as physical illness. She shares her beautiful poetry about "The Divine Feminine Creatrix Codes", reflecting the wisdom she gained about honouring our bodies and their natural cycles.

Pooja concludes by telling us how her new relationship with fear, has supported her through processing grief, and recently taking the brave step of reporting her abusers to authorities – all part of releasing stagnant energy that often manifests as dis-ease.
