birth sovereignty
2026/02/09
In our Season 3 premiere, Emily shares the story of Wally’s birth - a freebirth in the quiet of her own home, attended only by her husband while her children slept nearby. Whether you are planning a hospital birth, homebirth, exploring what autonomy in motherhood means to you, or simply curious, this conversation invites you to reflect on where your power lives. Gentle note: Freebirth is a deeply personal decision. This episode shares one woman’s lived experience and is not medical advice. Every mother deserves informed, thoughtful support in whatever setting she chooses.

in our nature: familial roles
2025/10/19
This week we’re talking about our ideas around natural rhythms and roles that exist within our families - the mother as nurturer and nourisher, the father as protector and provider. Not as boxes to fit into, but as energies that bring balance and wholeness to the home. We explore what it feels like when we live within these roles, and what happens when they’re forgotten or flipped. It’s a nuanced conversation about remembering who we are sprinkled with a little bit of humor.

no one will save you
2025/10/06
We are exploring what it means to truly take ownership of your life - as a woman, a mother, a creator. We are often given the message to wait for rescue, for permission, for the right moment or right person. But what if no one is coming? What if you are the one you’ve been waiting for? We talk about stepping out of the victim mindset and into radical responsibility. Reclaiming the power to shape your reality, your home, your motherhood, your days. This conversation is about remembering that everything begins and ends with you.

when we stop pathologizing
2025/09/30
In this episode, we explore what it means to support our children without rushing to label, fix, or intervene. So much of modern parenting assumes that babies need constant correction or management but what if the opposite were true? Welcome to the practice of watchful waiting: a space where we step back, hold presence, and allow our little ones to reveal their own capacity to adapt and grow.

everything is a choice, everything
2025/09/22
This week on Maiden’s Path, Mother’s Roots, we dive into a freeing and confronting truth: everything is a choice. We share our own stories of moments when we realized we were living in a victim mindset - and how choosing differently changed everything. From how we respond to our kids, to how we care for our bodies, to the stories we tell ourselves about what is possible. We talk about how each choice writes the next chapter of our motherhood. This episode is a call to wake up to the power you already hold. You are not at the mercy of your circumstances. You are actively creating your life, choice by choice. When you own that truth, you unlock the freedom to change how you feel, how you live, and how you mother.

her energy, her home
2025/09/16
Welcome back to season two of Maiden’s Path, Mother’s Roots! In this opening episode we welcome you to our living room to share stories about how our own inner state has shaped the atmosphere around us - the way the home feels, how our children respond, how we move through our days. We talk about the power mothers have to shift the “weather” in the home. This is an invitation to notice how your energy sets the tone for your family’s space, to tend to your own nervous system as a way of tending to your home, and to step into your role as the heart of the household intention.

birth as the initiation
2025/06/02
