The Yoni Codes

Melissa April & Katherine Blanco

Do you want to harness the creative power that lives within your womb? Do you want to proudly claim ALL of who you are and bring that essence to your relationships, parenting, and business? Our planet is in a collective death cycle. Can you feel it? A rebirth is imminent, activating our deep feminine consciousness. This is shifting the way we relate to how we birth, how we create, how we view our bodies, how we love, how we heal, and how we treat one another. Melissa April and Katherine Blanco, two mothers, lovers and creative entrepreneurs explore the deeper meaning of Birth, Death, Rebirth and the many Initiations we walk through as women in the world. We dive into birth in all forms from babies, to businesses, to our next level selves. We explore what needs to die as we become ALL of who we are in the world. The Yoni Codes explore the mysteries of the divine feminine through the reclamation of Motherhood, Entrepreneurship, and Relationships. Join us each week as we engage in powerful, paradigm shifting, soul expanding conversations. Experience the discovery of potent codes that live within as we allow our wild and raw truths come to the surface. Once every moon cycle we will be joined by special guests who will share their unique perspectives on their own Rebirths through the lens of The Yoni Codes. We look forward to connecting with you as we uncover the mysteries of the Divine Femine one conversation at a time. read less

The One About Freebirth

The One About Freebirth
Starting off the third season of The Yoni Codes Podcast, Katherine and Melissa take a deep dive into what it means to give birth in sovereignty, create without observation, and to be completely unhindered as we bring our desires into form. While we discover the process that Katherine worked through in birthing her fourth baby Cora, we also uncover the how the concept of freebirthing relates to all facets of the creation process, whether we are birthing a baby or birthing a piece of art or birthing a book. There is even a point in this conversation that causes one (or both?) of us to get triggered... tune in to hear how we work through it in the moment.Stay connected: Join our newsletter to stay connect with us and to also receive invitations to upcoming online and in-person sisterhood circles.

Tune in as we discover:Keeping communication open and honest, even when it is not easyWhy most partnerships are never really 50/50 all of the timeHow leaning into the feminine flow allows for more creativity and expansion, while it is all important that we honour the masculine role of structures and support.Why surrendering to the process of the evolution of the partnership is both healthy and vitalPLUS the Yoni Code that is revealed in this powerful conversation in saving sisterhood in collaborationMore about Jen Lang and Jane Stark:Jen and Jane are two heart-centred leaders teaching women to own their $h!t so they can navigate their lives with courage, conviction and grace.

Welcome to the Zombie Apocalypse

Welcome to the Zombie Apocalypse
What if we told you that we are living through the Zombie Apocalypse and that you may in fact be one yourself?The tentacles of technology are infiltrating our sub- and collective consciousness, whether we would like to admit it or not. It's something that is felt but not spoken about. We feel something is not right, and that's because we are living against our biology. We are being forced into evolving to keep up with technology's consciousness at a rate that is far quicker than our human bodies are capable of at this time. Join us in this fascinating episode where we explore:How the technology matrix creates confusionThe degradation of our personal sovereignty at the hands of big conglomerates including big techHow the Village mentality suffers as a consequence of technologyThe issues we face with control and consentLooking to nature for the antidote to the Zombie effectThe Yoni Code that heals the separation from self and each otherAbout the Hosts:Melissa April - Rebirth Guide, Transformational Soul CoachMelissa holds sacred space for women to reclaim their feminine intelligence and weave their magic into their life's work.Melissa lives with the love of her life and their two beautiful 15 months old twins on the beautiful Westcoast of Canada.Katherine Blanco - Birth Keeper, Childbirth Educator, Yoga Teacher, Holistic Reproductive Practitioner, Women’s Circle Facilitator, & Podcast HostKatherine is called is to be a beacon of light for others to find the way back to their innate wisdom and sovereignty.
