I have tried numerous times to add the show notes to this episode, with the words 'forbidden' continuing to come up when I attempt to save it. I'm not surprised. This is a powerful and controversial conversation and something is being flagged in what we're talking about. I will share the episodes description in a few other places so you can read, try my instagram page first.

In this episode of The Midwitch Podcast, we continue the Rite Remembering solo series with Part 3, exploring the Trinity Wound and its deep connection to the broken and lost rite of passage of birth. Many women feel an ache—a sense of incompleteness—around their birth experiences, even when their births were seemingly “good.” This episode unpacks the Trinity Wound and how it reveals itself when the true rite of passage was interrupted, broken, or lost for birthing women transitioning into motherhood. To support this reclamation, I share three ways women can begin to retrieve the lost rite of passage that was taken from them- including powerful journal prompts to support you. I explore the vital role of spiritual mentorship in pregnancy—the often-missing first phase of a woman’s rite of passage. In This Episode I Cover: + What the Trinity Wound is and how it relates to birth as a lost initiation + The unhealed grief of a broken rite of passage and why it lingers in the body and spirit + Three ways to reclaim the lost rite of passage of birth—with journal prompts for deep healing + How reclaiming the rite of passage of birth heals personal and collective wounds + The importance of spiritual mentorship during pregnancy and why it is the foundation for an embodied birth initiation I also invite you to share your reflections: If this episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Share your insights on Instagram and tag me @TheMidwitch, dm me or leave a review on your podcast platform to help more mothers remember the true sacred rite of passage of birth. This is your invitation to remember. Your birth was always meant to be an initiation Mama. Let’s reclaim it together.…

Welcome to Part 2 of Rite Remembering (the Solo Series) on The Midwich Podcast In Part 2, I’m unraveling the universal laws of initiation and rites of passage - whilst questioning the modern misinterpretations that have diluted, distorted and weakened its power, for birthing women and mothers I also dive deep into: ✨ What a true rite of passage actually and it's 3 unchangeable phases ✨ The true root of Birth Trauma - why it's not just what happened, but what was missing ✨ New Earth Birth and the incorrect interpretation of building the 'new' ✨ The energetic consequence and spiritual wound of a broken rite - and the many faces of this in Birth ✨ Why Birth must be returned to the spiritually connected and birth initiated sisters ✨ Why 'spiritual midwifery' and surface level ceremonies completely contraindict the rite of passage of birth Are we truly treating birth as a rite of passage, or are we just using the language of initiation without honoring its depth? Listen NOW! Anita x…

In every traditional initiation, the threshold is faced in solitude. So if birth is supposed to be a rite of passage… Within 'modern' birth circles, we’ve been told that birth is a rite of passage - and women reclaim birth when we honour this. Books have been written about it! But what was also suggested, was a midwife stands at the threshold—guardian-ing the rite. Here’s the problem: A true rite of passage does not have a guardian. A rite of passage requires the initiate to walk alone. That is it's ENTIRE intention, and purpose - as a rite. So why has birth been framed differently? And why are birthworkers placed at the center of something that - by its very nature - must be faced alone? When you look deeper at traditional initiations across cultures, the structure is always the same: 1 The initiate is prepared in advance. Spiritual mentorship before entering the wild. 2 The threshold is crossed alone.No one guiding, or to outsource to. 3 The return is witnessed.The moment the initiate emerges, changed, and is fully received by the community. How did birth—the most ancient, organic initiation of all—get framed differently? Why, when it comes to birth, do they believe a woman cannot do it? Do they think she is incapable? Do they believe birth is different? Do they not trust that every woman can walk into the wild alone? Something isn’t adding up. And I'm getting loud about it, because it's keeping women disconnected and disempowered. And I feel like there's an agenda. And I'm not OK with it. Make sure you're following The Midwitch Podcast for Part 2 of the 'Rite Remembering' SOLO SERIES episodes - and join us @themidwitch on Instagram to follow the conversation. It's going to be BIG!…

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Amy, a mother whose journey through birth has been nothing short of an initiation.

3rd Tri Surfing, a 3 Day Labour, Synchronicities + Spirit Guides: Bridie's Spiritual Freebirth 59:30

7 weeks ago59:30

59:30

In this deeply personal and powerful episode, Bridie opens with a tear-jerking journal entry she wrote post-birth: a raw reflection on the profound lessons that birth gifted her. We then dive into her unexpected journey to conception, including cycle syncing, pill detoxing and the subconscious manifestation of a surprise baby. Bridie also shares how she found herself surfing at 37 weeks pregnant, feeling completely at home in her body, moving with the rhythm of the waves - despite questions and criticism from those around her. This story isn’t just about trust, it’s about fierce boundaries and energetic protection during the pregnancy and birth portal. Bridie takes us through: - The synchronistic dreams she and her partner shared - The midwife birth class from hell—and how it solidified her trust in herself. - How she navigated unsupportive family and community energy, standing firm in her birth choices from pregnancy through postpartum. - The powerful message from her baby during an ultrasound - the moment that stopped her from being pulled into the medical system’s cycle of ritualistic testing. - The 2 unexpected birth guides she became deeply connected to, who showed up to support her through labour. - Why she put her phone on Do Not Disturb for two weeks leading up to birth to fiercely protect her energy. - The criticism she faced regarding contact naps and how she leaned into her own instincts instead. - Her incredible self-healing journey after birth, including how she healed her own tear postpartum. This episode is an initiation into the wild, instinctual power of birth, the deep lessons our babies bring, and the unwavering strength it takes to walk your own path in a world that often questions it. If you’ve ever felt the weight of external voices in your pregnancy, birth, or postpartum experience, this episode is for you.

The Illusion of Independence within Australia's Homebirth Community 1:02:15

1:02:15

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Hayley Wilson (a fellow birthworker), to delve into the untold truths about homebirth midwifery in Australia. Whilst PPM's (Privately Pracitising / Homebirth Midwives) are often portrayed as independent, alternative and holistic; the reality reveals a deeper entanglement with the healthcare system’s policies and restrictions. We discuss the betrayal many birthing women feel when they discover the limitations imposed on these midwives, and therefore themselves in birth, often hidden behind the language of individualised care - and even 'rebellion'. Together, we unpack the systemic constraints that overshadow and shape their practice and how these realities impact the birthing experience for women seeking mother-centric care. This conversation is for birthing women to understand who and what they are bringing into their birth space when hiring a Homebirth Midwife - with 2 very important questions you should be asking uring the hiring process.…

Listen as DeAnn speaks about the absolute necessity of birthing women learning how to reconnect to this powerful guidance from within, the way she created and nurtured this relationship herself, and why it is key in preventing birthing women leaning into external support that isn't right for them.

Kailah: An Aussie Freebirth after Gestational Thrombocytopenia 36:53

3 years ago36:53

36:53

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?
