The ISLA MAMA PODCAST

Michelle Gail Williams || ISLA MAMA

Unbound discussions on all things birth death and the continuum of life. Here we walk the narrow path, where curiosity, integrity, faith, and love guide the conversation. To the spaces that allow for truth to be revealed through the stories of others. It is here in the unfiltered freedom to speak, that the knowing of all life's unfolding becomes clear. It is here that we find faith in one another, and the many lessons we can all offer and learn when we open ourselves to the innate potential within.

    A Gentle Freebirth Offering a Remembrance of Belonging: Charlotta's Story

    Introducing Charlotta, a powerful yet serene spirit hailing from the tranquil landscapes of Finland. After traversing the globe, she has found herself back in her homeland, where she now navigates the tender waters of motherhood with her beloved daughter by her side. Charlotta's journey into motherhood has kindled a quiet fire within her soul, inspiring her to advocate for a more gentle and intuitive approach to pregnancy, birth and parenting. As a Sensuality Empowerment Coach, her mission is to guide mothers in rediscovering the wisdom of their bodies and the power of their intuition, fostering grounding, peace and joy throughout the journey of pregnancy, birth and beyond. Her heart swells with passion as she witnesses a growing movement of women and men reclaiming the wonder and perfection of our bodies in the sacred realms of birth and motherhood. Through her own experiences and unwavering dedication, Charlotta brings to life the vision of Alchemy of Motherhood—a sanctuary where mothers and women can find inspiration, support and community on their journey of embracing the sacred and conscious aspects of womanhood and motherhood. With a gentle touch and a deep well of wisdom, Charlotta invites women to explore their inner fire, nurture self-connection, and cultivate a profound sense of belonging. In her practice, she seamlessly weaves elements of Sacred Sexuality, offering a holistic space for women to embark on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment, guided by love, authenticity, and the whispers of the divine feminine.

    Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome & Holding Birth and Death Simultaneously: Victoria’s Story

    Victoria is a gentle, kind, and faithful mother of 4 babies, 2 who are here with us today, and 2 who were only here for a time in the womb. In this episode she shares her birth experiences and how they have informed who she is, and how she moves through the world with deeper compassion than she ever had before. Through the bliss of experiencing homebirth with her son, she learned about the potential of women and Gods perfect design. Her third pregnancy offered her a depth of insight to the close proximity of life and death, and Victoria graciously shares the vulnerable story of grieving one baby, while another continued to grow and be born. Despite the confusion, defeat, challenge, and grief….Victoria speaks with such grace and true faith in God. Her story is one which reminds us of the fullness of birth, and the many ways it restores and fulfills the true capacity of each woman. Victoria hopes to welcome many more babies should she be blessed to Mother them in this lifetime…and I pray she is. She is a courageous, loving and deeply devoted Mother and her story is a beautiful one.  **In the episode Victoria spoke that she went into labor in her second pregnancy at 36 weeks, but meant to say 31+6 - this being premature labor.  You can find Victoria here and hear about her offerings for women and mothers: https://www.instagram.com/valorandbloombirth/ Listen to full episode on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
