Audrey sits down with Dr. Lacey Nevel to talk about the real mechanics of mothering, business, and nervous system stewardship. Lacey shares how she creates space to regulate (hello, nightly sauna sessions), why building team was non-negotiable after being literally bypassed as “the office manager,” and how Free Spirit Chiropractic functions as a community hub, not “just” a clinic. Together you explore parenting as shadow work, detaching so you can show up clean, and new offerings for women chiropractors who are navigating motherhood and a male-dominated profession.

We cover:

• Nervous system stewardship in real life: how Lacey uses the sauna to detach, reset, and choose where to show up each day—“20 minutes of literally just detaching from everything.”
• Why team matters (and the moment it became non-negotiable): a local chiropractor walked in and asked “Where’s the husband? Where’s the doctor?”—and Lacey decided that day to get help at the front desk and protect her role as doctor and owner.
• Community as the heartbeat: Free Spirit is intentionally built as a gathering place—patients name “community” as their favorite part of the practice.
• Roots & wiring: raised by a single-mom entrepreneur; “keep going” grit, Enneagram 7 creativity, and the “Gap and the Gain” realization about achievement cycles.
• Parenting as shadow work: the invitation to address our stuff through our kids; why it’s easier to avoid discomfort and how it shows up anyway.
• New work for women in chiropractic: a seminar and 1:1 coaching focused on intention, detachment, and showing up for yourself so you can show up for others—especially post-baby.

In this powerful episode, I am joined by Céline De Winter to explore the concept of healing from the heart, not the ego. We dive deep into what it means to be truly seen, to sit in the pain and numbness, and to move beyond the constant search for outside forces to heal us. Céline shares how healing from the heart allows us to tap into our innate wisdom, break free from ego-driven healing cycles, and step into our most authentic selves. This episode is a must-listen for anyone on a healing journey who is ready to shift from the mind to the heart.

Takeaways from this episode include:

• The difference between healing from the heart vs. the ego
• Why being seen in your vulnerability is essential for transformation
• The importance of sitting with pain and numbness instead of avoiding it
• Healing from the heart allows us to connect deeply with our true selves and break free from ego-driven patterns.

Céline De Winter:

Céline De Winter is a 31 yo somatic practitioner from Antwerp, Belgium.

After a burn-out at 26 she invested heaps of money, time and energy into her recovery. Only to find out that all this time, she wasn’t connected to her own emotions or feelings.

The death of her father, several years later, was an initiation into everything emotions, trauma & the body.

Now she guides others into the depths of their being—both live and online, as she sees the body as a storyteller for everything that has transpired in our lives.

She strongly believes a revolution is needed in the healing community. She advocates for unshaming emotions & all of your parts through self-compassion and acceptance instead of fixing yourself into healing.

In this episode of Matriarchal Medicine, we’re diving deep into the ways internalized misogyny subtly (and not-so-subtly) shapes how women show up in business. From underpricing our offerings to doubting our own expertise, these patterns run deep—but they’re not ours to carry. It’s time to unlearn the conditioning that keeps us playing small and instead lean into trust, intuition, and sovereignty.

I’ll be sharing personal stories, tangible insights, and a reclamation of what it means to do business in a way that honors the feminine. If you’re ready to step into a business model that nourishes rather than depletes, The Rooted Woman Collective is where we do exactly that—together. For those looking for a guided path to build or refine their business in alignment with their physiology, Rooted & Rising is the container to support you every step of the way - Coming Summer '25 so get on the waitlist NOW!

In this powerful season finale of Matriarchal Medicine, I have the privilege of facilitating a conversation with my elder and mentor, Whapio, for an illuminating conversation that explores the depth and nuance of wisdom in the birth space. Together, we unpack topics that transcend traditional approaches to birthwork and service - a quantum level of care as it were, including:

• Understanding rank and hierarchy: how to use your rank to elevate others without diminishing them.
• The transformative power of curiosity over judgment.
• Elevating the role of the father in the birth space to create balance and reverence.
• The importance of mediation and wisdom-keeping as a foundation for birthwork.
• Woundology and why true service requires stepping beyond the need to manage.
• What makes The Matrona and their Birthkeeper's Midwifery Cohort unlike anything else available today.

This conversation invites you to redefine what it means to serve birthing families with integrity, alignment, and a deep sense of responsibility to ancient wisdom. Whether you’re a birthkeeper, holistic practitioner, or someone seeking to embody service in your work, this episode is a must-listen.
