Aussie Freebirth

After her dreambirth was taken away from her during an abusive, highly intervened with and traumatic first birth experience (following the diagnosis of Gestational Thrombocytopenia at 35 weeks) Kailah knew something wasn't right post birth and opened herself up to another way for her next birthing experience.Feeling unprepared and lacking the feminine guidance she desired in her first pregnancy (although she received continuity of care) and realising Private Midwifery and Doula support was unaffordable, she divinely reconnected with a friend who brought the idea of birthing unassisted into her consciousness.Kailah shares her pregnancy and labour journey, what she had to work through after the fear of "bleeding out" had been planted in her head by medical professionals first time round and the backlash she received from her family that did not condone her choices, one day after birth.--- Connect with Anita in Instagram @themidwitch Freebies: https://themidwitch.com/thecauldron Birthworker?

The Intelligence of Water with Veda AustinVeda Austin is a Water Researcher, taking Crystallographic images of frozen water - visually capturing the way water responds to influences around it and producing mind blowing results that show quite clearly that water does have it's own intelligence, in the 3D realm and beyond the veil.In this episode we discuss the intelligence of water in relation to pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, our amniotic fluid, early birth blood, fertile and infertile semen and many more examples of the way bodily fluids can tell us something about ourselves.I have many questions for Veda in this episode; about the way the moon affects water, if ocean water can become informed, how exactly our thoughts and feelings imprint on us as literal bodies of water and how water stores information and memory.To see all the images Veda refers to in this episode, go to @themidwitch on Instagram--- Connect with Anita at www.themidwitch.com Reconnecting you with your medicine, magic and power.

Freya Rose

Celebrating Death in Birth: The Early Freebirth of Freya RoseAfter experiencing a traumatic first birth, Erin decided she was going to freebirth her second child and during her pregnancy weaved a beautiful web of wise women around her; who would later become her supportive tribe when she birthed her babe early.Erin speaks so powerfully and so candidly about the loss of her baby girl and the medicine she received in being able to do so. She touches on the stigma around miscarriages and the unspoken process that becomes so dehumanised by the way society speaks about it and her newfound understanding that she wishes to share with other women - that death is sad, but not scary.Erin shares about the painful moment she first realised her baby had died, she describes the physiology of birthing her baby undisturbed and freely in her home, the difference between fear and body wisdom/intuition, the ways in she which she honoured her daughter, herself and her experience - and expresses so perfectly the duality of celebrating life and death together.Erin shares the gratitude and growth she leant into, her new relationship to life and birth via the desire she had to experience it all (physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally), the reclamation of, and reconnection to her body wisdom, through witnessing her body birth her babe unassisted - and the beautiful way she speaks about it all with her youngest daughter.Erin now facilitates Early Birth Shamanic Healing and Celebratory Ceremony and Ritual for women and is also now teaching Birthworkers how to come into relationship with death as a part of birthwork, so that they are able to support birthing women without fear.---Connect with Anita at www.themidwitch.comAnita Katherine, The MidwitchReconnecting you with your medicine, magic, &amp; power.Follow me on IG: @themidwitchFreebies: https://themidwitch.com/thecauldronPregnant?

In this informative episode, Laura shares her knowledge and wisdom around a topic that has been denied to women for so many generations; autonomy in managing our own reproductive health. Laura speaks about Body Literacy for Girls and the ways in which we can create spaces to guide young women in reconnecting with their mammalian nature - to come into their power before they outsource pharmaceutical products or medical advice. We speak about the Pill and it's damaging effects, the natural forms of contraception and conception (that no one is speaking about), the difference between The Rhythm Method and FAM (The Fertility Awareness Method), learning to observe the body for hormonal health and fertility and our common dislike of Period Tracking Apps.We chat about common female reproductive health issues such as PCOS, Endometriosis, cysts and fibroids - some of the causes of these and offers some wise woman practices to correct them. Laura delves into Postpartum Tracking for Mothers and squashes the myths around a postpartum mother's cycle returning.This episode if full of the wisdom we wished our Grandmothers and the Crones in our communities had of passed down to us!---Connect with Anita at www.themidwitch.comAnita Katherine, The MidwitchReconnecting you with your medicine, magic, &amp; power.Follow me on IG: @themidwitchFreebies: https://themidwitch.com/thecauldronPregnant?

Fertility Awareness for Sovereign Women with Laura from Beldam Woman Care

After an older wise women in her community told Kendall that Mothers used to birth their babies in the local river, she decided to birth her first babe at home - and that hiring a Midwife would be a 'happy medium' as a first time Mum.But once there was meconium in her waters, and her Midwife had consulted the hospital behind her back, she didn't feel supported anymore. Kendall's homebirth transfer resulted in a traumatic first birth. She lost trust in herself and became confused as to why her experience was so different from the birth vision she had worked so hard to manifest.Second time pregnant, Kendall spontaneously cancelled her one and only Midwife appointment to go surfing with her husband - and from that day forward took sole responsibility of her prenatal care. Kendall rented an Air BnB and found a supportive birth partner in her sister, alongside her husband.A momentary lapse in confidence during labour saw Kendall heading back to the same hospital she had birthed her first son. But divine intervention (and 2 cattle grids!) swept in en route to stop that from happening.

Jane Hardwicke Collings' Herstory Womanifesto

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.

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.

Birthkeepers, Womens Circles + Sisterhood with Emilee from Free Birth Society

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!---Connect with Anita at www.themidwitch.comAnita Katherine, The MidwitchReconnecting you with your medicine, magic, &amp; power.Follow me on IG: @themidwitchFreebies: https://themidwitch.com/thecauldronPregnant?

On The Other Side of Healing Birth

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!

Ultrasound, Unsound?

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.

A Brave Mumma: Birth Trauma and Injury

I sit down with Jamie, a proud Gamilaroi woman and one of my greatest teachers and friends, to discuss true matriarchy - as it were (and still is) a part of Aboriginal Culture. We discuss spirituality, respect for women, women's business, community, circles and business grounds, animal totems, connection to the Earth and her cycles, the differences between Matriarchy and our Patriarchal Mainstream Australia today, Motherhood, Birth, the significance of the 'Because of Her We Can' NAIDOC theme and what Jamie has taught me through observing the forgiving, peaceful, respectful way she walks this land.

Channeling Spirit Babies and Conscious Conception with Hannah

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.Find Natalie here: https://www.instagram.com/nataliealaska__/Watch her wild pregnancy and Freebirth here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ3pyBE6dzTG4T3sBxfwh7g/videoswww.themidwitch.comhttps://www.instagram.com/themidwitch/---Connect with Anita at www.themidwitch.comAnita Katherine, The MidwitchReconnecting you with your medicine, magic, &amp; power.Follow me on IG: @themidwitchFreebies: https://themidwitch.com/thecauldronPregnant?
