In this sacred crossover between Together and The New Human Experience, Mike and Courtney sit down with Dr. Kevin Preston for a deep dive into a phase of the journey most people ignore: integration.

After the retreat. After the ceremony. After the breathwork breakthrough. Now what?

This is where true healing happens—or where it gets lost.

We explore:

• What integration really means (and how to know you're doing it)
• Why insight alone won’t change your life
• The challenges couples face when one partner expands faster than the other
• Nervous system repair as a core part of post-breakthrough embodiment
• How sacred relationship becomes your integration dojo

In this sensual and illuminating episode of the Toe Curling Sex Series, we welcome Sarah Shepherd and Chris Dierkes to explore the profound difference between yang and yin sexual energy. What happens when we move from friction-based, goal-oriented sex to deep, slow, receptive pleasure? We unpack cultural conditioning, nervous system awareness, presence over performance, and the spiritual ecstasy of surrender.

This episode is a must-listen for couples craving more presence, passion, and partnership in their erotic life. Whether you're partnered or solo, prepare to be deeply moved by the transformative possibilities of yin eroticism.

In this first episode of the Wild Birth Series, Courtney shares the raw, intimate story of attending her very first birth as a doula — and it just so happened to be for her own brother and sister-in-law.

Join us for a deeply personal conversation with Keegan and Ashley, who welcomed their son Chester into the world in a powerful, unmedicated home birth. Together, they recount the emotional and energetic preparation that went into consciously calling in their baby — from ancestral healing and constellation work to ceremonies with the land.

This episode is a tender yet fierce exploration of what it means to birth naturally, intentionally, and in deep trust with life itself.

You’ll hear:

• How our own birth imprints (and our parents’) can affect conception and birth
• The importance of coherence in the birth field
• Ashley’s journey to reconnect with her womb and feminine essence
• The power of physiological birth and what it teaches us about trust and surrender
• How the way we birth shapes the way we live — and die

Chapters:

00:00 Introduction to Wild Birth

02:00 Preparing the field before conception

10:00 Womb healing, grief rituals & ancestral imprints 2

0:00 The imprint of your own birth & how it shows up in your child’s

30:00 Physiological birth and full surrender

46:00 Trust, toning, and the roar of the feminine

59:00 Birth as the blueprint for death

1:02:00 The Medicine Song (don’t miss this part!)

This is more than a birth story. This is ancestral repair, embodied wisdom, and the sacred feminine roaring awake.

🎁 BONUS: Stay tuned through the end for a medicine song that will melt your heart.
