Death is often avoided in conversation. Something we save for “later,” until it’s suddenly too late. But what if death was meant to be more than chaos, more than fear? What if it could be sacred?

In this powerful and tender opening to Season 4 of the Freely Feminine Podcast, I sit down with Joslyn Roadstrom, a holistic death and grief doula whose own journey through devastating loss became the soil for her life’s most meaningful work. Together, we explore what it means to live, and die, well. How grief is truly just love with nowhere to go, and why planning for death might be one of the most loving things you can do for yourself and your family.

We speak about collective care, dignity at the end of life, reclaiming the sacredness of death, and how women in particular are designed to hold the unknown. Joslyn’s story is both heart-wrenching and profoundly hopeful, and her wisdom will leave you reconsidering what it means to live a full life.

Topics we explore:

• What a death doula is (and isn’t)

• Why grief needs to be tended like a garden

• What a “good death” really means

• The connection between birth and death

• Why honoring the elderly is essential to a thriving culture

• How women are biologically wired to hold space for the unknown

• Tangible steps to begin planning for a peaceful end-of-life experience

This conversation is not about death - it’s about life, legacy, and the sacred responsibility of holding it all with love.

Introduction to Joslyn:
Joslyn Roadstrom is a certified death doula, grief educator, and holistic grief coach based in the Flint Hills of Kansas. Her path to this work began in 2020 after the sudden and tragic death of her only child, Israel. Out of the ashes of that loss, Joslyn began to rebuild her life slowly, tenderly, and with deep reverence for the sacred transition that is death.

As a former health coach with a passion for functional wellness and nervous system healing, Joslyn brings a deeply holistic lens to her work, tending not just to the logistics of end-of-life planning, but to the spiritual, emotional, and physical aspects of death and grief. Her mission is simple but profound: to help others reclaim death as sacred, find peace in transition, and honor grief as a reflection of love.

Through her offerings—ranging from grief support and vigil planning to community death education and sacred end-of-life care—Joslyn is restoring something our culture has long forgotten: the dignity, beauty, and healing that can come when we are willing to walk with each other through life’s final threshold.

After a long quiet stretch, I’m back behind the mic with new breath and a deeper rhythm. Season Four begins here with a personal re-entry and a fresh sense of direction.

This isn’t about a polished plan. It’s about letting the next step reveal itself. It’s about clearing out what no longer fits. Honoring beauty as a way of life. Creating from rest instead of pressure. And letting the feminine come home to herself through truth, biology, and right relationship with the masculine.

If you’re in a season of redefinition or return. If you’re rebuilding your business or your body. If you’re longing for clarity and softness at the same time

You’re in the right place.

Hey friends, welcome to the final episode of Season 3 of The Freely Feminine Podcast! Today, I’m cozied up with a cup of coffee to have a heart-to-heart chat with you. This episode is a little different—think of it as two friends catching up before a winter break. I’m reflecting on why pauses matter in our lives and how they can help us recharge and find clarity. I share some personal updates, including what’s been going on with my health, the lessons I’ve learned along the way, and why creating space for rest is more important than ever.

I’ll also be giving you a sneak peek at what’s coming next, including updates on my programs and exciting plans for the new year. And, if you’ve missed any episodes this season, I’ll share some of my favorite must-listens. Grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and let’s chat about how we can make the most of this winter pause together. See you in 2025!

In this heartfelt episode of The Freely Feminine Podcast, I sit down with Chaya from Shomrit Momtana, a true visionary in the birth space who has redefined what it means to be a “birth guardian.” Chaya doesn’t call herself a midwife in the usual sense—she’s a birth guide who walks with women in the sacred power of bringing life into the world. Her journey is unlike anything I’ve come across, blending deep physiological understanding with a spiritual calling that honors birth as a truly transformative experience.

Connect with Chaya on Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/shomrit.momtana/⁠

Listen to the podcast mentioned in today's episode: ⁠The History Of Obstetrics on the Momtana Podcast⁠

Episode Description:

With wisdom rooted in reverence and a powerful presence, Chaya offers us a perspective that’s both ancient and wholly relevant for today. Together, we explore what it means to hold the role of a birth guardian, the delicate art of holding space for a mother’s sovereignty, and how sacred protection can shape a woman’s experience as she brings new life into the world.

This episode speaks to any woman drawn to the heart of birth work, mothers or mother's-in-waiting, or those simply seeking to understand the profound role of being held, seen, and honored through life’s most transformative journeys. Whether you are a birth worker, an expectant mother, or simply someone yearning for a deeper sense of connection with the feminine mysteries, Chaya’s insights will invite you to reflect on the beauty of being protected and the grace of surrendering into support.
