Anita The Midwitch - Growth through women's circles and her two homebirths The Renegade Mama

Today on the show I speak with Anita Katherine better know as The Midwitch. Anita describes herself as a womens circle facilitator, birth activist and run her own podcast - The Midwitch. We start off speaking about women’s circles and how they were a catalyst for her stepping into her own power. We then talk about her first birth - which was a homebirth with the community midwifery program. She says she had a beautiful midwife and a beautiful birth but didn’t realise she had choices - she just felt “lucky” she had been accepted into the program and that she better “tow” the line. She discusses - not thinking for herself at times in this birth - something I can completely relate to! Her second pregnancy though - she decided to step into her full power and had wild pregnancy and freebirth. We also touch on fears and doubts when you have decided to freebirth, siblings at birth and struggles in the post part period. I really enjoyed talking to Anita as she was so on the same page as me and I hope you do to!
