  • Channeling Spirit Babies and Conscious Conception with Hannah
    I speak with my radical feminist soul sister Hannah, from Hannah and Babes, about her ability to channel her own (and others) spirit babies; Pelvic Floor Therapy, forming a relationship with your Cervix, her conscious conception journey and offerings, connecting with our inner feminine cycles and seasons as women and more!

    If you are calling a baby into your family and home, or a woman wanting to know how to consciously embody your power as a female - you need to listen to Hannah's wisdom!

    Hannah shares her journey from birth trauma to healing and how this was the catalyst in embodying her soul purpose, shifting her life from pain to consciousness and the sacred and ritualistic way she chose to conceive her second child.

  • Natalie's Unmedicalised Pregnancy whilst Vanlife-ing the East Coast of Australia
    An unmedicalised, instinctive, intuitive, wild pregnancy seems so far removed from our current interventional, highly pathologized, industrial birth paradigm; that most women don't even know that being your own prenatal care provider is an option.

    But as you will hear, during my consciousness expanding discussion with Natalie Alaska, it can be, for the majority of women. And is often more connected, more magical, and far more simple than we are led to believe .

    Natalie discusses how she used her intuition to guide her during pregnancy, and in the lead up to the freebirth of her second son; the ways in which she navigated the external opinion of others around her choice; how she worked through her 'what if' fears; her beautiful pregnancy rituals and also shares with us one of the BEST pregnancy affirmations I've ever heard.

    I loved this chat - set against the imagery of a young Aussie family exploring the East Coast of Australia in their self-built van. And I think it's one of the most important conversations for other women to hear.

  • Maha Al Musa and The Power of the Unchoreographed Dance of Birth
    I speak with Independent International Birth Mentor, Author and Speaker, @maha_al_musa , about her teachings of the sacred birth dance through her award winning book 'Dance of The Womb' (endorsed by Dr. Michel Odent, the late Sheila Kitzinger, Dr. Sarah Buckley and Dr. Christiane Northrup), and her newly launched online pregnancy and birth preparation program 'EmbodyBirth™ - Unlock and Awaken Your Ancestral Womb Wisdom.'

    Maha imparts her East meets West Crone Wisdom on us, honing in on the importance of tracing the Motherline, moving through the spirals of our lineage and the spiritual purpose of birth. She also shares her incredible journey of being on the international stage for homebirthing her daughter at 46 years young, and breatsfeeding her until she was 8.

    Maha has been featured on several worldwide platforms such as the Discovery Channel, CNN International, the New York Post, Inside Story Australia, Marie Claire, just to name a few - for her strong stance on mother and baby centred birth, natural term breastfeeding and her teachings on a globally.

    I’m so excited for the birthing women and birthworkers of my generation to hear Maha’s inspirational story medicine.

  • Birthkeepers, Womens Circles + Sisterhood with Emilee from Free Birth Society
    I chat with Free Birth Society Founder, Emilee Saldaya, to discuss how Birthkeepers, womens circles and authentic sisterhood are all crucial elements in creating a new paradigm and culture of birth. Emilee expands on the key differences between Birthkeepers, Doulas and Midwives; plus the rise of Doulas in the medicalised birth world, the move toward the role of Birthkeeper and what this term actually embodies. Emilee explains her vision of true sisterhood, how we can be in circle with women outside of ritual in our everyday lives, plus all the details on the upcoming Radical Birth Keeper School!

  • On The Other Side of Healing Birth
    Diana Forsell Tayan and I are from opposite sides of the world, connected through the realisation that we have been serving the same women. These women are united in birth trauma, yet we've been serving them at different stages of their journeys. Diana's Birth Story Medicine Sessions focus on Healing Birth and serving women through non-clinical support. In this chat we take a critical look at the similarities of catalysts amongst these birth trauma experiences, the language that should be used and isn't, the first steps a woman can take if her birth experience just didn't feel right and what it looks like on the other side of healing birth. Diana is a beautifully soft yet strong soul, and I know you'll love hearing the story of how this journey began for her and how she went from a traumatic birth experience to birthing in power out of the system!

  • Herstory: The Audio (Read by Anita, Written by Jane Hardwicke Collings)
    You've heard the terms Patriarchy and Matriarchy - but do you truly know what it means? With permission from Jane Hardwicke Collings, I have read 'HERSTORY - WOMANIFESTO' for you to listen to. I believe when you hear this, it will awaken within you, what you may have thought you'd lost.

    I've read this piece more times that I can remember, but knowing that other women will hear this for the first time, made this experience different. I cried in parts, stumbled upon words, pronounced places and deities incorrectly and then struggled to keep reading when my eyes filled with tears. But I kept going, because it's the story medicine that matters. And I believe Jane's 'Herstory' is something every woman should know.

  • Sammy's Necessary Freebirth in Wollongong - Pt 2
    In Part 2 of Sammy's Freebirth Story, she shares the details of her 24+ hour labour and birth of her daughter Aspen. Sammy shares the intimates of her inner thoughts and dialogue, which we conclude were her intuitive voice guiding her from start to finish, and her assertiveness, requirements and demands of those supporting her - as she stood in her power as the birthing woman, in her mother and baby centered freebirth.

  • Radical Birthwork and Autonomous Birth with Dynamo Doula & Feminist Lani Raven
    After seeing Lani's Instagram post on prenatal GBS testing, translated by her as 'Giant Bull Shit' - it was love at first sight! In this episode we discuss radical responsibility, independent birthwork, what autonomous birth looks like, the spirituality of miscarriage, her independent and rebellious style of coaching and the birth of her son. Lani answers my favourite question around why we're still using non-evidence based practices (that have never improved outcomes) in our birthing system - and why she believes the system is not broken at all!
