• 57. I Knew I Could Do it!

  This is a beautiful conversation that I have with Aaliyah. She speaks to me about how she bonded very deeply with her aunts baby and how she always knew that motherhood was in her future.When becoming pregnant with her first, Aaliyah chose to have hospital Midwifery care, but once she was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes (GD) she was soon switched to Obstetric care.Leading up to Aaliyah’s first birth experience she was feeling very forced to have an induction at 39 weeks, but held her ground until 41 weeks. When she did agree to the induction, it took 4 days for her baby to finally emerge and she was pressured into an unnecessary epidural 2 hours before her baby was born.Aaliyah’s second pregnancy was with twins! and she chose once again, to also seek support of medical providers like her first. And to my surprise, Aaliyah birthed both of her babies vaginally in the hospital setting, which is quite unheard of in most twin births.For her third pregnancy and birth, Aaliyah chose a birthing centre, which led to trauma and a very difficult postpartum experience that included a mental health crisis.Then finally with her fifth baby, Aaliyah made the choice to birth this baby with only family in attendance.This is a story of a woman’s trust and courage in herself to make the best decisions for herself and her children and the evolution that she went on to get there.✦Give a ⁠⁠⁠5 STAR RATING and REVEIW⁠⁠⁠ on Apple PodcastsGive a ⁠⁠⁠5 STAR RATING⁠⁠⁠ on Spotify-⁠⁠⁠FOLLOW  Freebirthing in Color ™⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram ⁠@Freebirthing_inColor⁠Reach out via email: [email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠Send a DONATION⁠⁠⁠⁠ to support the Movement-⁠⁠⁠⁠SUBMIT Your Birth Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUBMIT Your Women’s Work⁠⁠⁠⁠-Connect with your Host⁠⁠⁠FOLLOW Karma⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram ⁠@Primal_Woman_⁠⁠⁠Check Out What's Happening⁠⁠ in the Movement-✨New Stories Every Thursday!✨

• 56. Preserving Traditional Postpartum Care

  This is a very special and important conversation with Hadhee Jah who is one of the only Ayurvedic Postpartum Doulas and Traditional Birthkeepers in and from the Maldives.Hadhee Jah’s first birth experience was truly beautiful, but without having the knowledge of how to care for herself and be cared for in postpartum, she went into a really dark space in this time. Her second postpartum time was also really hard, even though she was very well supported. Then, following Hadhee Jah’s second birth, this is when she started learning about Ayurvedic Postpartum Care and it’s importance for healing after birth. This conversation speaks to the necessity of a well supported postpartum and how that can be possible when you know what is needed to thrive after birth. And Hadhee Jah speaks so gracefully about the lost art of Midwifery in her home country of the Maldives.Listen to this story with an open heart as the Art of True Midwifery is being stolen from all women and stories like Hadhee Jah’s are so important to be shared.✦Give a ⁠⁠⁠5 STAR RATING and REVEIW⁠⁠⁠ on Apple PodcastsGive a ⁠⁠⁠5 STAR RATING⁠⁠⁠ on Spotify-⁠⁠⁠FOLLOW  Freebirthing in Color ™⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram ⁠@Freebirthing_inColor⁠Reach out via email: [email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠Send a DONATION⁠⁠⁠⁠ to support the Movement-⁠⁠⁠⁠SUBMIT Your Birth Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUBMIT Your Women’s Work⁠⁠⁠⁠-Connect with your Host:⁠⁠⁠FOLLOW Karma⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram ⁠@Primal_Woman_⁠⁠⁠Check Out What's Happening⁠⁠ in the Movement-✨New Stories Every Thursday!✨-Connect with our Guest,  HadheejahInstagram: @hadheejahbirthkeeper Website: https://hadheejahbirthkeeper.com

• 55. It’s Divinely Designed

  This is a really special episode for me to have recorded. When I spoke with Haniyyah, she was the first woman that I had interview for this movement in 1 year! So my excitement was palpable and it felt like a beautiful homecoming.But I have to say that I was so honoured to share space with Haniyyah and hear her words. She speaks to me about how she is the youngest of 10 kids in a blended family and how she was very involved within the lives of her nieces and nephews are they started to become new additions to the family system.For her first birth, Haniyyah started in obstetric care, but shortly switched to Midwifery care and felt so much more supported by her choice. Haniyyah was the first of her family to birth her baby at home after many generations of women birthing in the hospital. After integrating her first birth and already having previous knowledge of birthing free of the system, Haniyyah started to have the feelings that birthing in this way would be what she wanted. Through reaching out to a few friends and finding resources to support her decision to birth her second free of the system, that is what Haniyya did.Listen to her words as she speaks to the journey of birthing her baby into the world in the way she knew she her body was designed to do.✦Give a ⁠⁠⁠5 STAR RATING and REVEIW⁠⁠⁠ on Apple PodcastsGive a ⁠⁠⁠5 STAR RATING⁠⁠⁠ on Spotify-⁠⁠⁠FOLLOW  Freebirthing in Color ™⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram ⁠@Freebirthing_inColor⁠Reach out via email: [email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠Send a DONATION⁠⁠⁠⁠ to support the Movement-⁠⁠⁠⁠SUBMIT Your Birth Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUBMIT Your Women’s Work⁠⁠⁠⁠-Connect with your Host⁠⁠⁠FOLLOW Karma⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram ⁠@Primal_Woman_⁠⁠⁠Check Out What's Happening⁠⁠ in the Movement-✨New Stories Every Thursday!✨-Connect with our Guest,  HaniyyahInstagram: @haniyyahlovessyou -ResourcesChantel Blake: @honoredwomb Listen to Chantel Birth Story: “Ep. 25 — I’m not going to Betray Myself Anymore”Birth E-book: @blossomingnadia

• 54. A Wealth of Integrated and Wise Knowledge

  This is a very special story that I get to hear from Tracy and one you don’t want to miss out on. She is a birth worker and a healer that offers fertility, birth, postpartum, grief, lactation education and sleep consulting support.She is a woman with many skills and this conversation with Tracy really shows her dedication to bringing healing to the mother/baby dyad and the whole family in the entirety of the Matrescence journey.Through the birth of her first child, it propelled Tracy deeper into the field of birthwork. She was able to see what could have been better for her care and how she would be able to provide what women and families truly needed for supportive and continual care in their sacred time of pregnancy, birth and parenthood.This talk is so powerful and Tracy gives so many beautiful insights and downloads into the work she does and how it effects not only herself, but all women.I’m so grateful to have shared space with Tracy and for her words and work to be amplified in this space. ✦Give a ⁠⁠⁠5 STAR RATING and REVEIW⁠⁠⁠ on Apple PodcastsGive a ⁠⁠⁠5 STAR RATING⁠⁠⁠ on Spotify-⁠⁠⁠FOLLOW  Freebirthing in Color ™⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram ⁠@Freebirthing_inColor⁠Reach out via email: [email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠Send a DONATION⁠⁠⁠⁠ to support the Movement-⁠⁠⁠⁠SUBMIT Your Birth Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUBMIT Your Women’s Work⁠⁠⁠⁠-Connect with your Host⁠⁠⁠FOLLOW Karma⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram ⁠@Primal_Woman_⁠⁠⁠Check Out What's Happening⁠⁠ in the Movement-✨New Episodes Every Thursday!✨-Connect with our Guest,  TracyInstagram: @bobotodoula Website: https://www.bobotodoula.com/doulaservices

• 53. I Was On A Birth High for 3 Days!

  This is such a fun conversation that I have today with Zakiya. Her energy is so vibrant and speaking with her brought such joy to my heart. Zakiya shares about her decision to birth with a Traditional Midwife, a truly Wise Woman, for her first baby and how she came to this very aligned and powerful decision for herself. She made sure that she was informed and researched her choices to birth her baby in her total power, free of the system and that is what she did!I absolutely loved hearing Zakiya’s words and how she tells her story. She was honoured in her authority and truly was respected and held in reverence by her Traditional Midwife and Doula, so please sit back and listen to this woman stepping into her power to birth her baby.✦Give a ⁠⁠⁠5 STAR RATING and REVEIW⁠⁠⁠ on Apple PodcastsGive a ⁠⁠⁠5 STAR RATING⁠⁠⁠ on Spotify-⁠⁠⁠FOLLOW  Freebirthing in Color ™⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram ⁠@Freebirthing_inColor⁠Reach out via email: [email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠Send a DONATION⁠⁠⁠⁠ to support the Movement-⁠⁠⁠⁠SUBMIT Your Birth Story⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUBMIT Your Women’s Work⁠⁠⁠⁠-Connect with your Host⁠⁠⁠FOLLOW Karma⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram ⁠@Primal_Woman_⁠⁠⁠Check Out What's Happening⁠⁠ in the Movement-✨New Episodes Every Thursday!✨-Connect with our Guest,  ZakiyaInstagram: @ZestyZakiya Email: [email protected] from the TalkDocumentary: Calling in the Spirit Research: The History of GynaecologyBook: Real Food for Pregnancy by Lily Nichols
