    The Freebirth vs Medical Birth Illusion - SOLO EPISODE

    In this solo transmission, I name something I’ve been witnessing for a long time in the birth space: the birth world is completely out of control! What was once a simple, instinctual axis of natural birth vs medical birth has now fractured into multiple layers with brands, ideologies and Instagram philosophies. In this episode, I strip away the noise and bring us back to the TRUE foundation of Birth. And how, when we try to domesticate her, intellectualise her, or control her - we create the chaos we’re currently drowning in. I also speak to the nine-year cycle we’re moving through collectively - a cycle of exposure, collapse, and cosmic housekeeping - and why this moment of breakdown in the “birth world” is not a mistake, but a clearing. A return. I also explore: Why the “freebirth vs medical birth” war is a distractionWhy the unfolding of birth absolutely matters - and why some will act as though it doesntThe birth world as chaos, fragmentation and marketplaceThe misogynistic and biblical roots of “you get the birth you needed”What “the birth world” actually is - and why it’s irrelevant to birthThe myth of providing choice for modern womenThis episode is for you if… You feel disillusioned or confused by the current “birth world” and all its sides, methods and opinions.You’ve sensed that birth is being pulled further and further away from what it truly is - and you can’t unsee it.You’re ready to move beyond camps, labels and strategies - and nd return to the raw, uncontaminated truth of birth.

    The Dead Template birthing the Wild Woman with Brittney Michelle

    In this episode I sit down with Brittney Michelle - wild pregnancy, sovereign birthing mama and the woman behind Woman Be Wild.  Brittney shares the seven-year initiation that carried her from religious conditioning and “good girl” programming into a fully embodied, earth-rooted woman - and the magical 9 months she spent with her Mother, before the Father of her child walked into her life! We trace the moments that cracked her open: the vow she made to her bloodline, the near-death experience and the slow reclamation of her body, her language and her direct relationship with Spirit. Brittany takes us inside the bones of Woman Be Wild and why this fifth edition feels like the book finally “arrived.” She speaks to writing from a woman who has walked through the underworld, held the line through 2020 and birthed her baby in total sovereignty. We explore the “dead template” - the chain of cultural, religious, medical and political systems that bind women to a lifeless script, and what it means to consciously step outside of it so that real life, real birth and real motherhood can move through. We also weave the story of how our paths crossed – the invisible soul-network that connected us across countries. And the women scattered across the globe that are holding the same knowing - being the bridges between the system and the sovereign, the dead grid and the living earth. This conversation is for the woman who feels the deadness of the old systems, who has held the line with family, medicine, or culture - and who knows somewhere deep in her bones, that she is here to write her own program, birth her own way, remember herself – wildly, wholly, and free.

    Infertility and Infidelity with Alex Croxford

    In this intimate reunion episode, I sit down with international Love and Relationship Coach for Women, Alex Croxford - five years after first crossing paths in a Conscious Conception Tarot Reading Alex booked with me, in which the message of her infedility also came through.  (Yes we recap that - and the messages that came through from her gorgeous Spirit Baby!) What unfolded for Alex after 2020 became the catalyst for a profound unraveling and reawakening in Alex’s life. We explore the rarely voiced story of a woman’s journey in both infidelity - and infertility.  Alex shares how cheating on her ex-husband, whilst walking through the pain of an IVF journey, became the doorway to her deepest healing. Alex opens up about how that unraveling led to divorce, a spiritual awakening, celibacy, quitting her career as a TV Executive, a new relationship, pregnancy loss, her viral reel thats been viewed over 7 million times, the creation of her business and healing retreats - where she now guides other women through the same dark terrain she once walked alone. We speak about the shame and secrecy surrounding women and cheating, what drives someone to cheat, soul contracts and how many women - like Alex - reach their breaking point after years of self-betrayal and emotional suppression. This conversation goes deep into the territories of grief, guilt, personal reckoning and ultimately - transformation. You’ll hear about the sacred transformation that becomes possible when truth is finally spoken and how Alex’s medicine from her own personal healing journey now supports other women in their own reclamation.

    Ritualising Disconnection of Mother and Baby with Veda

    In this powerful and synchronistic conversation, Veda joins me to explore what it truly means to birth, and Mother, from a place of spiritual sovereignty. Our connection was deeply aligned from the beginning, and having the chance to come together in person (from opposite sides of the world!) made this conversation even more potent.  Together, we unravel the forgotten wisdom of lotus birth and placenta energetics, delving into its true purpose as the baby’s guardian and spirit guide on earth. We ask the question: when did we begin cutting the umbilical cord… and why? Tracing the roots of this intervention leads us into a larger conversation around ritualised disconnection, organised agendas, and the systemic efforts to sever the sacred bond between mother and child at birth. Veda opens up about her own journey into sovereignty - catalysed by a medical crisis and guided by messages from her spirit babies. We discuss how intentional trauma has been used to fragment the mind (including MK Ultra and religious programming), and how both medical and religious institutions serve the same purpose: to siphon life force and suppress the innate power of the mother. We share the identical message both our sons brought through, and what it truly means to raise children who are emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually free. Other key topics include: The agenda behind circumcisionVeda’s personal experience with vaccine injury as a childReclaiming our right to choose from love, not fearTrusting your baby’s wisdomWhat it looks like to work with VedaThis is a reclamation conversation.  You can find Veda at @veda.revival Host: Anita @themidwitch Join Mother Mystic here - https://www.themidwitch.com/mothermysticapp Studio and Producers: @wisecaststudio

    Rite Remembering Part 3 - The Solo Series

    In this episode of The Midwitch Podcast, we continue the Rite Remembering solo series with Part 3, exploring the Trinity Wound and its deep connection to the broken and lost rite of passage of birth. Many women feel an ache—a sense of incompleteness—around their birth experiences, even when their births were seemingly “good.” This episode unpacks the Trinity Wound and how it reveals itself when the true rite of passage was interrupted, broken, or lost for birthing women transitioning into motherhood. To support this reclamation, I share three ways women can begin to retrieve the lost rite of passage that was taken from them- including powerful journal prompts to support you. I explore the vital role of spiritual mentorship in pregnancy—the often-missing first phase of a woman’s rite of passage. In This Episode I Cover: + What the Trinity Wound is and how it relates to birth as a lost initiation + The unhealed grief of a broken rite of passage and why it lingers in the body and spirit + Three ways to reclaim the lost rite of passage of birth—with journal prompts for deep healing + How reclaiming the rite of passage of birth heals personal and collective wounds + The importance of spiritual mentorship during pregnancy and why it is the foundation for an embodied birth initiation I also invite you to share your reflections: If this episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Share your insights on Instagram and tag me @TheMidwitch, dm me or leave a review on your podcast platform to help more mothers remember the true sacred rite of passage of birth. This is your invitation to remember. Your birth was always meant to be an initiation Mama. Let’s reclaim it together.

    Rite Remembering Part 2 - The Solo Series

    Welcome to Part 2 of Rite Remembering (the Solo Series) on The Midwich Podcast In Part 2, I’m unraveling the universal laws of initiation and rites of passage - whilst questioning the modern misinterpretations that have diluted, distorted and weakened its power, for birthing women and mothers I also dive deep into: ✨ What a true rite of passage actually and it's 3 unchangeable phases ✨ The true root of Birth Trauma - why it's not just what happened, but what was missing ✨ New Earth Birth and the incorrect interpretation of building the 'new' ✨ The energetic consequence and spiritual wound of a broken rite - and the many faces of this in Birth ✨ Why Birth must be returned to the spiritually connected and birth initiated sisters  ✨ Why 'spiritual midwifery' and surface level ceremonies completely contraindict the rite of passage of birth Are we truly treating birth as a rite of passage, or are we just using the language of initiation without honoring its depth?

    Rite Remembering Part 1 - The Solo Series

    In every traditional initiation, the threshold is faced in solitude. So if birth is supposed to be a rite of passage…   Within 'modern' birth circles, we’ve been told that birth is a rite of passage - and women reclaim birth when we honour this. Books have been written about it! But what was also suggested, was a midwife stands at the threshold—guardian-ing the rite. Here’s the problem: A true rite of passage does not have a guardian. A rite of passage requires the initiate to walk alone. That is it's ENTIRE intention, and purpose - as a rite. So why has birth been framed differently? And why are birthworkers placed at the center of something that - by its very nature - must be faced alone? When you look deeper at traditional initiations across cultures, the structure is always the same:  1 The initiate is prepared in advance. Spiritual mentorship before entering the wild. 2 The threshold is crossed alone.No one guiding, or to outsource to. 3 The return is witnessed.The moment the initiate emerges, changed, and is fully received by the community.  How did birth—the most ancient, organic initiation of all—get framed differently? Why, when it comes to birth, do they believe a woman cannot do it? Do they think she is incapable? Do they believe birth is different? Do they not trust that every woman can walk into the wild alone? Something isn’t adding up. And I'm getting loud about it, because it's keeping women disconnected and disempowered. And I feel like there's an agenda. And I'm not OK with it. Make sure you're following The Midwitch Podcast for Part 2 of the 'Rite Remembering' SOLO SERIES episodes - and join us @themidwitch on Instagram to follow the conversation. It's going to be BIG!
