Where body wisdom, womb rhythm, and feminine power are remembered.
The Embodied Woman Temple Podcast
Discover What It Means to Truly Come Home to Yourself
The Embodied Woman’s Temple is a sacred listening space — a gathering place for women to remember what the world has tried to make us forget. Through story, ritual, and embodied wisdom, this podcast offers a return to the feminine as sacred, cyclical, and sovereign. It honors the womb as a seat of power, the voice as an instrument of truth, and the body as a living altar. Rooted in ancestral memory and modern healing, this temple is where we gather to unearth our knowing, reclaim our rhythms, and reawaken our sacred connection to the Earth, spirit, and self.
In a world that often silences feminine wisdom, this space exists as a radical act of remembrance. Our stories matter — not just as personal healing, but as collective medicine. Whether we’re speaking of sisterhood, womb healing, birth, loss, sexuality, plant medicine, motherhood, or spiritual practice, every conversation is an offering. By listening to ourselves and each other, we reconnect with ancient truths that have always lived within us. This is more than a podcast — it’s a portal, a practice, a return.
We welcome you home & welcome you into the circle.
Meet Your Hosts
Lauríel & Leyanne
Lauríel Rivera-Stone and Leyanne Oliveira are sacred sisters in spirit and womb — two women deeply committed to the remembrance, rewilding, and reclamation of the Divine Feminine. Together, they hold space for transformation through ancestral wisdom, embodied ritual, and radical love. With over two decades of combined experience as medicine women, midwives, womb shamans, coaches, mothers, and spiritual guides, they have walked the path of healing and initiated countless others into their own power. As midwives of spirit and soul, they co-create sacred spaces for women to awaken to their truth, honor their rhythms, and reconnect with the cycles of nature and the wisdom of the womb. From ceremony to sisterhood, herbs to yoga, moon circles to birthwork, their work is rooted in deep intuition, ancestral reverence, and a fierce devotion to the liberation and wholeness of all womb holders. The Embodied Woman’s Temple Podcast is their collective altar — a sacred offering and soulful conversation inviting women everywhere to rise, remember, and return.
