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!
