In this powerful episode of For Mannerless Women, Adelle Onyango sits down with Wambui Wanjau, a home-birthing midwife and birth doula, to unpack the truths about pregnancy and birthing that too many women are never told. From being shouted at in delivery rooms to the calm of candlelit births, Wambui shares her journey across Kenya, Finland, and Australia, and what she’s learned about how women can reclaim power in one of life’s most sacred experiences. This episode dives deep into:
  • Why so many women feel unseen and unheard during childbirth
  • How to listen to and trust your body during pregnancy
  • The real importance of calcium, vitamin D, and nutrition
  • How partners can truly support new mothers
  • The emotional realities of postpartum life
  • What it really means to have a doula and create a birth plan that centers you
This is an honest, soulful conversation about pregnancy, pain, power, and the beauty of trusting your body. Listen now and share it with the women in your life who need to be reminded that birth is not something to fear, it’s something to reclaim.
