How do we hold space for both birth and death, joy and grief, beginnings and endings? In this episode of the Wombs of the World Podcast, Charlotte sits down with birth and death worker Amana, for an intimate conversation about pregnancy and infant loss, motherhood, grief, and the spiritual connections that can exist beyond death. Amana shares experiences from her work supporting families through both birth and loss, including her perspective on spirit babies and the connections some mothers experience with their babies before, during, and after pregnancy. Together, Charlotte and Amana explore: The emotional complexities of working with both birth and deathPregnancy and infant lossConnecting with spirit babiesMaking space for mystery, intuition, and spiritual experiencesNavigating grief without trying to fix or rush itRituals and practices for honoring babies who have diedSupporting mothers and families through lossFinding empowerment and trusting your internal compassThe importance of community in griefHow birth workers can more compassionately hold space for lossAt the heart of this conversation is an invitation to honor grief rather than turn away from it, and to recognize that supporting someone through loss doesn't require having the perfect words.

What if postpartum care were treated as an essential part of birth rather than an afterthought? In this episode of the Wombs of the World Podcast, Charlotte explores the cultural significance of postpartum care in Korea and what different models of maternal care can teach us about supporting families after birth with Julia Grace Kim from Sanhu House. The conversation looks at Korea's postpartum care centers and the traditions that helped inspire Sanhu House, including the journey of building a postpartum care business and eventually pivoting from a hotel-based model to providing care within the home.

What does it mean to intentionally guide a girl into womanhood in a culture that has largely forgotten how? In this episode of the Wombs of the World Podcast, Charlotte sits down with Johannah, founder of Wakeful Nature, to explore rites of passage, the transition from girlhood to maidenhood, and what young people lose when meaningful initiation and community are missing from their lives. Johannah shares her journey of creating programs for girls while navigating the challenge of reconnecting with rites and ceremonies from her own European lineage. Together, they explore how social media and modern culture are shaping adolescence, why girls need authentic relationships and trusted adults around them, and the idea of creating a "star team" to support a girl as she moves toward maidenhood. Their conversation expands beyond girlhood to consider the many transitions we experience throughout life, from menstruation and motherhood to menopause and eldership, as well as the need for meaningful initiation and support for boys and men. Together, Charlotte and Johannah explore: The cultural void around rites of passage for girlsPreparing girls for the transition into maidenhoodSocial media, adolescence, and the need for authentic connectionCreating a "star team" of trusted adults and mentorsReconnecting with nature as part of initiation and developmentRites of passage throughout a woman's lifeMenopause, aging, and reclaiming eldershipThe need for meaningful initiation and support for boysHow cultural shifts could help us better honor life's transitionsAt its heart, this conversation asks us to consider what might change if we stopped expecting young people to navigate major transitions alone and instead surrounded them with intention, community, ceremony, and connection.

Some stories change you forever. In this deeply moving conversation, Charlotte sits down with Sabrina Fletcher, a pregnancy-loss and TFMR doula, to talk about termination for medical reasons, the grief of losing a deeply wanted pregnancy, and the profound gaps that remain in pregnancy-loss care. Sabrina shares her own experience navigating a devastating fetal diagnosis, restrictive abortion laws in Mexico, and a medical system that was able to provide a procedure but was not prepared to hold her grief. That experience ultimately led her to become the support person she had needed: someone who could offer compassion, ceremony, community, and a hand in the darkness.
