Today, on the podcast, we have my inspiring friend Laura. Laura is a shining example of what it means to live a radically authentic life, to take full ownership over your choices, and and to actually choose yourself. Laura’s story takes us from the her European upbringing and learning to navigate body-image in a family culture that was open-minded, but a Christian schooling system that was not, to the messiness and grief of the maiden to mother transformation, and finally to Laura’s fully outside of the system wild pregnancy, free birth and early motherhood years, with many interesting and transformational twists and turns in between.

	The Childless Mother: Madeline’s Alchemical and Ancestral Journey	25 Jun 2025	02:39:09
Today, on the podcast, we have my dear friend Madeline's deeply transformative story. Madeline shares her initiation into the mysteries of womanhood, from her early excitement about menstruation to navigating her teenage years on birth control and SSRIs. Her journey takes a profound turn as she prepares consciously for conception after years of working in the world of birth, postpartum and even conscious CONTRAception (funny story with this one you’ll want to hear!) guided deeply by her intuition and ancestral connection. She details her intense experience with pregnancy, and the heart-wrenching realization of her baby's death. Madeline's narrative continues through her ceremonial preparation for and experience of her early birth, ultimately leading her to a deep integration of grief and wisdom. The episode concludes with Madeline embracing her role as a childless mother, offering profound wisdom on life, death and rites of passages as well as celebrating the alchemical transformation of her journey. This one has been a long time coming and Madeline’s way of weaving story will truly transport you - you won’t want to miss it!
