Trust, Surrender, and Conscious Birth with Theoni Papoutsis

Wednesday, October 1, 2025 • Duration 55:56

Charlotte is joined by South African birth pioneer Theoni Papoutsis to explore conscious birth, postpartum care, and the realities of South Africa’s maternity systems. Together they talk about doulas and independent midwives, liability culture and rising cesarean rates, and why trust and surrender are central to birth. Theoni shares her wisdom on postpartum support, belly binding, closing rituals, and practical tools for labor like breath counting and the yes mantra. This conversation offers both global perspective and personal insight, showing how conscious birth is about more than labor itself, it is about how we care for mothers, families, and communities long after birth.

Decolonizing Birth: From Policy to Postpartum with Clara Arenas

Season 1 · Episode 2

Wednesday, October 1, 2025 • Duration 01:09:23

Charlotte sits down with Berlin-based birthworker and policy researcher Clara Arenas to explore why birth is both the most intimate act and a deeply political one. They trace how postpartum care reflects a society’s values, compare community care and paid leave across cultures, and unpack what it really means to decolonize birth, pluralizing perspectives, respecting sovereignty, and keeping ceremony authentic rather than performative. Expect real talk on advocacy, shame and language, doulas as postpartum protectors, and practical ways to center mothers, babies, partners, and community.

The conversation also sets the stage for the Wombs of the World Summit in Berlin (October 15–17, 2025), a three-day gathering with traditional midwives and birthworkers from around the world. Join us to listen, reflect, and help reimagine how we welcome families.

The Universal Language of Birth with Mariela Ayala

Season 1 · Episode 5

Wednesday, November 5, 2025 • Duration 45:36

In this beautiful episode, I sit with my dear friend Mariela, a traditional Mexican midwife whose story flows from the heart of Mexico City to borderlands birth centers and beyond. We talk about the journey of becoming a midwife, from learning placenta medicine at sixteen to catching babies across cultures, and how midwifery bridges both ceremony and clinical care. Together we explore what it means to practice birthwork as both political and sacred, how to read a laboring woman’s cues through sound, scent, and intuition, and how the rebozo carries generations of wisdom, like a grandmother’s embrace woven into cloth.

It’s an intimate, honest reflection on the art of traditional midwifery, the rise of doulas, and the remembering that birth is the most universal language on Earth.

Birth as Ceremony with Rosa Amarilla

Season 1 · Episode 4

Wednesday, October 22, 2025 • Duration 57:01

Today we remember. We talk about birth as ceremony- for the mother, the parents, for the village, the land, the waters, and all our ancestors.

Rosa Amarilla joins me to share Andean-rooted wisdom on naming rituals, caring for the placenta, the medicine wheel, and what it really means to decolonize our care.

We also get practical: how to weave altar work, dreamwork, and small acts of reverence into day to day life.

How accountability can be love in action.

How mushrooms and plants can hold us through postpartum and pleno pausa.

This one is a blessing for birthworkers everywhere.

May it remind you that you are the medicine.

FR 🇫🇷 (Pour celles et ceux qui ne le savent pas, j’ai grandi en France et je vis à Paris aujourd’hui.) Dans cet épisode en français, je reçois Mama Cam, Camille Denois, doula basée en Colombie et de retour en France cette saison. Camille est un pont, profondément respectueuse des pratiques ancestrales, tout en honorant la puissance de la médecine moderne quand elle sert les mères avec humanité. On parle de deuil, de douleur, du temps comme ingrédient oublié, de l’eau comme thérapie, de postpartum, et de la manière dont nos cultures peuvent se rencontrer sans appropriation, avec curiosité et humilité.

In this French-language episode, I sit down with Mama Cam, Camille Denois, a doula based in Colombia who is returning to France this season.

Stories We Carry in the Womb with Nina Vermeulen

Episode 7

Thursday, December 18, 2025 • Duration 39:51

In this episode of the Wombs of the World Podcast, I sit down with Nina Vermeulen, a doula, artist, and space holder based in Belgium and the founder of Your Voyage Home.

Our conversation moves gently through the quiet, often hidden chapters of becoming: preconception, pregnancy loss, longing, grief, and the deeply tender question so many carry, am I a mother? Nina shares her journey into birthwork through ritual, music, and storytelling, including her experience of preparing for motherhood, becoming pregnant, and losing her child during pregnancy.

We talk about the emotional toll of trying to conceive, the isolation surrounding miscarriage, and how rarely these experiences are named out loud. We reflect on identity, on mothering beyond biology, and on what it means to hold life, love, and loss in the body. We also explore the power of community, asking for support, and creating spaces where these stories can be witnessed with care.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, soften, and remember that every threshold deserves tenderness. Nina closes by sharing an original song, offered as a gentle gift to listeners.

Intimacy & Partnership from Preconception to Postpartum with DJ & Shreni (We Have Kids Now)

Wednesday, January 14, 2026 • Duration 01:04:41

In this episode, I sit down with Shreni and DJ of We Have Kids Now for a conversation that spans continents, birth systems, and the deep work of partnership.

Shreni shares her two very different birth stories: giving birth to her first child during COVID in China, where she experienced a fascinating and deeply supportive model of postpartum care, and then welcoming her second baby in the midst of the California wildfires, navigating uncertainty, stress, and a precipitous labor. Through it all, Shreni and DJ have continued to choose intimacy, communication, and teamwork as the foundation of their family.

Together, they have distilled their hard-earned wisdom into a course designed to help couples feel more prepared, connected, and supported as they move from preconception through postpartum.

This was such a powerful opportunity to hear from them as a couple and to learn more about the heart behind their work.

You can find Shreni and DJ at @we.have.kids.now, where they share education, resources, and a free postpartum guide.

They also offer a self-paced course for expecting and new parents. Listeners can use the promo code WOMBSOFTHEWORLD to receive 15% off their course.
