In this episode of Ask The Nurses Podcast, we are joined by the remarkable Nickita Starck, a leading figure in childbirth, health education, and human rights. With 14 years of experience as a traditional birth keeper, Nickita has been recognized by esteemed bodies like the World Council For Health and The People's Health Alliance for her outstanding contributions.

Nickita is the founder of "When Push Comes To Shove" (WPCTS), a groundbreaking initiative that has become the world's fastest-growing decentralized maternity structure, spanning over 10 countries. WPCTS is more than an organization; it's a movement that provides holistic maternity care from early pregnancy through childbirth. Their services include one-on-one sessions, continuous care from birth keepers, a range of online courses on pregnancy, childbirth, and postnatal healing, and intensive training for aspiring holistic birth practitioners. They also collaborate with The Autonomy Hotline to ensure families are informed about their human rights in birth.

Beyond her work with WPCTS, Nickita is a prominent advocate for women's health and spiritual development. She is pursuing a PhD in Lifestyle Medicine and is known for her impactful talks that aim to heal trauma and empower women. Her teachings on physiological childbirth are highly sought after by midwives, doctors, expectant mothers, and birth enthusiasts. Nickita's approach emphasizes that true transformation in childbirth and women's lives comes from self-development and healing core wounds.

Nickita's influence extends to various well-known platforms, including podcasts such as Richard Vobes, Doc Malik, Mark Attwood, and Tess Laurie. She has delivered talks at prestigious events like The Better Way Conference, The People's Health Alliance, universities, and various freedom events. Additionally, she authors a popular blog focused on healing core wounds and spiritual self-development.

Join us as we delve into Nickita Starck's inspiring journey and explore how she is revolutionizing the field of maternity care, empowering women, and reshaping traditional paradigms. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in holistic approaches to childbirth, women's health, and spiritual development.

Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
