Hannah Maynard & Abortion

Hannah Maynard & Abortion

Hannah Maynard is a clinical herbalist and magical human who came on the podcast this week to share her abortion stories. Hannah is a true ray of light and does a lot of work empowering others to be their best selves and put themselves first, she's such an inspiration to me. You can follow her on instagram for constant inspiration and daily sustainability tips. You can also check her out on her website: https://www.hannahmaynard.us/ talk to her about herbs!

In this episode, Hannah shares her abortion stories. She spent a lot of time feeling ashamed of her abortions and being unsupported in silence. We talk all about the importance of sharing abortion stories and releasing the shame and stigma that can be present. Abortions are a choice for you! It can be empowering and should be treated with reverence.


Happy listening!

Season 2| Episode 3| DIY Gynecology and Body Literacy

This week is a talk on body literacy, female anatomy, and using herbs to support womb and hormonal wellness! This is a solo episode based off of a couple classes I have been teaching lately. We discuss anatomy of bodies with internal organs, cervical self exam, the menstrual cycle, seed cycling, cycle syncing, and my favorite herbs to support reproductive health.


Excuse the mic feedback here and there- I re-recorded a few times and had tech friends take a stab at it... but, I felt it was more important to get this episode out than get it perfect.

11| Veronique Meriot

Welcome back to the Wild Womb podcast! This week I have my lovely friend from high school, Veronique Meriot. Vera is now the mother to two sons- Sebastien and Bodhi. Seb is the most lovely little boy. He is curious and loving and playful and it has been such a pleasure to see the bond that Veronique and him have. She is such an incredible mother, someone I really look up to and feel so inspired by. It was an honor to have her on here. In this episode we talk about navigating other people's judgement, creating intention through pregnancy and parenting and how magical it is to have a community of supportive women around. She has now had two homebirths and we talk about why she wouldn't do it differently. She trusts her body and the process of birth. She has created a really lovely project throughout the pregnancy and now into parenting to document and process the experience through photos on instagram. Check it out @vherbali it's beautiful.
Much love, Veronique and thank you all!

Mother's Day Episode| Colleen Terrill

Mother's Day Episode| Colleen Terrill

Happy Mother's Day to all you mama queens out there!! This is a very special episode where my mom comes onto the Wild Womb podcast to share her story. My mom is a truly amazing person and it was so cool to bring her into this space and have the opportunity to hear her whole story- really for the first time. This woman is a deeply patient and compassionate person. I am so fortunate to have such a positive relationship with her. Mother's Day is a complicated day for a lot of people, I am immensely grateful that my mom is here and that she is amazing. I don't know where I would be without her all these years. In this episode we hear her whole birth story and talk a lot about support, breastfeeding, sex ed, consent, and body autonomy/agency. It was really so cool to listen to her story unfold. Happy mother's day to everyone who celebrates-- I hope you all get some extra love and tenderness today. xoxo

8| Lara & Jason

Welcome back to the Wild Womb podcast, episode 8 featuring Lara and Jason! I got to work with this lovely couple last year as their doula for the birth of their son, Felix. I loved being their doula, they are really fantastic people. Often times as a doula, I find myself managing a relationship dynamic that feels not quite right- these two were not that. They are so in love, so excited about life and parenthood- and do so well at all of it. As their doula, I found their energy to be inspiring and witnessing their journey really made me feel like the birthing and parenting journey was something I could do and wanted to! In this episode we hear BOTH of their perspectives on the birth, the prenatal experience and doula-hiring process, how they've settled into this new life and what roles they each play. This is a lovely and real conversation about the ins and outs of this life transition from both parents!

6| Sarah Frank

Welcome back to the Wild Womb podcast! Episode 6 features Sarah Frank telling her long and winding birthing tale. Sarah had always planned to have a home birth, then doubled-up on prenatal care with midwives at a birthing center as well as an ob-gyn throughout her pregnancy. She gave birth via c-section due to low fluids and a breech babe! I love her story and loved talking through finding peace and empowerment in the unexpected. Birth is often not at all what we predict or expect and Sarah conquered it all so beautifully. We get to talk a lot about moving past other people’s judgements and opinions that don’t serve us and how it can be so hard (yet so important) to find support. We chat mothering a little babe as well as her experience stepping into the role of mother to her husband’s 11-year old daughter and all the fun that puberty brings. She’s such a great model for self-empowerment and body positivity and I’m so happy her daughters will have her as a role model.

Welcome back to the Wild Womb podcast. Episode 4! Yay! One whole month of magic! This week is a truly lovely and informative chat with Koyuki Smith a childbirth educator and doula as well as THE Birthing From Within facilitator for New York. I knew nothing about Birthing From Within before our conversation, and this was such an educational treat. This childbirth education perspective is truly supportive of all experiences and really helps birthing folk (and professionals!!) navigate the winding, and often messy road that is birth. My favorite part of Birthing from Within is that there really is NO judgment. One of my biggest goals with this podcast is to create an environment that is moving away from judgment and towards honest support of each other. I think Birthing from Within falls so in line with my personal beliefs and goals and I think a lot of you will be happy to hear that it does for you as well.

2| Lauren Crigler

Welcome to episode 2! This episode is with Lauren Crigler, one of the first women I got to work with as a doula back in 2015. Lauren gave birth to her daughter Pema Crow in her home in Montague, MA in May 2015. We talk through her birth story and thoughts on parenting and everything that has happened and changed since she became a mom. We talk about taking charge of you and your family's health and choices, respectful parenting, travelling with young ones, mom guilt and so much more. The book regarding vaccines that Lauren mentions is "The Vaccine Book" by Robert W Sears. Reach out with any thoughts or questions you may have. I LOVED this episode and I hope you do too.

Welcome to episode 1 of the wild womb podcast! I am so excited to be kicking this project off with a conversation with Dani Katz, another Brooklyn-based doula/yoga teacher/healer/goddess. Dani is my doula partner. We get into some juicy talking here about what doula work is really like, self care, injustice, and how to start educating yourself on your choices in childbirth. Excuse the muffles and weird noises, I am a tech baby, and Dani's cat was our secret guest. Let me know your feels on this episode and stay tuned for next week!
