In this week’s episode I am so excited to bring you the motherhood journey of Aimee Aroha of https://www.instagram.com/ripsnorter/ (@ripsnorter) who opens up about the way her first birth, that at the time seemed golden, but came to see things differently in regards to institutionalised birth and the normalised and often unnecessary interventions that have become part of standard care with deeper education and through the birth of her son. Aimee takes us through her journey, coming to understand and begin a process of healing, moving beyond decolonisation by weaving her own culture through her second birth and having the space to birth fully in her own sovereignty. This would prove to be a massive reclamation of her autonomy and provide healing for generations past and future. Finally opening up the chance for her to accept the invitation from maidenhood into womanhood. There’s so much here and its super exciting to be bringing you stories from back home in Oz.
