Embracing Sacred Cycles- A Latter-day Fertility Podcast
welcome to Embracing Sacred Cycles. I’m your host, Amy Sedgwick, a multigenerational Latter-day Saint woman who has navigated a 20-year fertility journey. Throughout this journey, I’ve wrestled with the pain and complexity of infertility within the context of our beautiful and unique theology.
This path has illuminated the pain many women in our culture experience, which led me to become a certified Fertility Awareness Mentor. I now have the privilege of teaching women like myself the tools that helped me naturally balance my hormones.
From time to time, I’ll be joined by my wonderful sister-in-law, Sharon Sedgwick. Sharon has her own complex fertility story, and her experiences have led her to become a leading practitioner in healing generational trauma. She’s worked with women around the world in various stages of life, helping them heal at the deepest levels.
Our vision for this podcast is to create a safe space for those in and around the Latter-day Saint culture to share their fertility stories, reminding each other that we are never alone.

Episode #5 Spiritual Wisdom and Faith Expansion: Happy Samhain
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this special episode of Embracing Sacred Cycles, we explore the ancient festival of Samhain, a time when the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds thins. Together, we dive into the roots of this sacred season—reflecting on fertility, transformation, and the mysteries of life, death, and renewal. Drawing on Celtic traditions, All Souls Day, and the wild woman archetype, we embrace the symbolic crone energy that encourages us to release what no longer serves and prepare for new beginnings.
We’ll also discuss how Heavenly Mother, Asherah, and the Tree of Life echo through these cycles, connecting Samhain’s themes to faith journeys in Mormon, Catholic, and American traditions. Along the way, we’ll explore the interplay between the divine feminine and masculine and how Samhain invites us to honor our ancestors, engage with spiritual reflection, and embrace the beauty in both endings and beginnings.
Join us for this 20-minute episode as we reclaim Samhain as a holy day, steeped in reverence and renewal, guiding us into the dark season with intention, wisdom, and gratitude for the cycles of life.
