I was so inspired by Bethanee and our conversation. I hold a vision for motherhood that is true integration and joy: bringing together all the parts of ourselves into a beautiful life. Bethanee shares her life and mothering perspectives with us. and we talk about a lot of different topics within this realm: farming with her children, weaving ceremony into their everyday lives, becoming a more resourced mother, and so much more. Tune in to hear it all... (and share anything that comes up for you in the IG post for this episode)
Bethanee Wright is a home-birthing mother of two daughters, wife of her beloved husband, organic farmer (Winterfell Acres) and shamanic practitioner (Earth & Cosmos Shamanic Healing) from southern Wisconsin. Devoted to embodied living, anchored to the Earth’s cycles, she is continually exploring how to weave conscious mothering, growing good food and shamanic living into everyday life. Bethanee loves diving deep into healing work to get into those juicy, life-changing depths that create space for authentic living. She offers healing sessions, audio tracks and classes to support your healing path and, of course, lots of organic produce grown with love.

Last September (2023), I was a guest on the Crunchy Mom Club podcast with Erika Wirth. I thought it would be fun to share that conversation here (and she posted my recent conversation with her, on her podcast as well (check out her ep. 41).
Erika reaching out to me initially actually began such a sweet friendship and I'm so glad she did.
In this conversation, I share my "origin story" with my work, and I talk about other things that I haven't talked about anywhere, including one of my most potent motherhood initiations. I also talk about being in the pre-conception time in that moment, spirit babies, dreams and visions, and more. I always enjoy talking with Erika. Enjoy <3

Zoe shares her dharma as a midwife, her experiences in midwifery and the difficult witnessing and taking part in obstetric violence. After a divine accident and miracle healing, she shares what comes next for her, including her powerful and deeply intuitive birth stories. Zoe beautifully illustrates what is possible for women who seek to live an embodied, truthful, and spirit-led life.

(Check out the Rooted Woman Botanicals Shop)This is a special woman - Zuri, powerfully referring to herself as Dragon Mother - who walks the talk and is committed to the path of re-villaging. She shares in this episode about what it looks like for her and what she is building (inspiring ideas for bringing into your own communities). She also shares her way of conscious, respectful parenting and encouraging healthy sibling dynamics. We talk about:
Stepping away from attending births as a young mother, the internal conflict and incompatibility, and where she's focusing her energies on these days Village prenatal and postpartum, and community seasonal events that she is facilitating How she calls in reciprocal community energy in these offerings How she is creating community seasonal gatherings that fulfill her vision for the "living dream of the earth", that center mothers and children, and ideas for you to bring to your community as well Cultivating gatherings that aren't just child-centered or adult-centered The primal need and fulfillment of being in a space of community and ritual Centering the family unit in our culture: mothers, fathers, and children Difference between women's and men's circles/spaces Her path and paradigm with parenting and navigating emotions, conflict in sibling dynamics, helping her children develop conflict resolution skills Trusting and respecting our children as intelligent beingsZuri Snow is a free-schooling, free-birthing mother and community organizer living in Georgia. She is passionate about rites of passage, earth wisdom, respectful parenting, undisturbed childbirth, and cultivating compassionate community.

Through her occasional ceremonial and educational offerings, women’s circles, postpartum support network, and family-centered seasonal gatherings, she works passionately to create a sense of re-villaging in her local community as an embodied prayer for the unfolding of the Earth’s Living Dream.You can connect with Zuri more via instagram @mamabearth , email [email protected] , or her website www.mamabearth.com where she occasionally hosts ceremonial and educational offerings virtually and local to Georgia.

Elissa shares her intimate story about becoming a single mom of her young son. I resonate with her relatable story and how she has gone through this process with so much intention for consciousness in regards to her personal healing and relationship. This is also a beautiful story of the many ways our children/spirit babies/souls guide us in our lives.
She shares about meeting her partner, having her son, the process of separating, and her reflections a year later. Elissa shares about how a trauma history can cause conflict in relationship, how a traumatic birth can cause fracture in the intimate relationship, and the freeing role of taking full responsibility in our lives.
Elissa is a newly single mother to a son, a veteran, and a former nurse who left western medicine to serve women. She began her journey as a birth keeper, but after making the difficult decision to leave her husband, she has shifted her work to focus on story medicine: holding space for women's stories of birth, pregnancy, postpartum, or any other area that women feel called to share with her. Find her on her website and IG

There are SO many gems within this conversation, and I guarantee this will inspire and move you as a woman/mother, where you have sons or daughters (or want to be a mom some day).
We talk about...
How parenting somewhat "begins" in the toddler phase Nicole's instinctual, embodied mothering approach and the weaving together of primal needs and mothering in modern times A discussion on boundaries with young children and the necessity of being physical Gentle parenting and animal, embodied parenting - and of course, kindness and respect is a core pillar and foundation. AND, what does true respect for children mean? At times, being an authority figure. The weight of responsibility when we don't take up the role of it for our children Under age 7, the children are the mother's domain Getting into a conversation about boys specifically and their path in life, the mother's role and leading them well into manhood Noticing how our children feel SAFE within hierarchy Inherent differences between boys and girls, and how she is teaching her sons how to interact differently with girls (which will inform how they treat women later on) Our responsibility as mothers to orchestrate their needs, and the difference between that and MEETING their needs ourselves What it truly means for Nicole raise boys with the intention of making them good, kingly men Her vision for her boys in the second plane of childhood, ages 7-14 - what she will bring in for them and her commitment to homeschooling Our job to be our children's gatekeeper and semi-permeable membrane vs mainstream approach of "you can't shelter them forever" Nicole's intention to have her children be in her family unit/orb their whole lives How our culture routinely and innately gaslights mothers (and babies) School as an alternate form of life and how it does not set up our children well for adulthood and "real-world" life Rampant distrust of self/embodied knowing in modern mothers; the wisdom of outsourcing as well as the shadow side, and her practice for developing internal knowing (hint: she looks to the animal kingdom) Getting to a place of radically calm and stable boundary setting, without guilt or anger The enmeshment and over-responsibility that happens for our children when we don't show up in these ways as mothers The crucial importance of honoring the mother-baby period, in order to usher our children out of babyhood and into healthy toddlerhood and beyondNicole is a primal mother of four sons, keeper of sacred postpartum, and lighthouse for embodied motherhood. She believes that aligning with the brilliant design of our bodies softens us into our most vibrant, nourished lives – she walks with women along the mothering continuum to reclaim this truth together.Raising Sons Workshop

If you haven't heard of fertility astrology or your lunar conception window, your mind will be expanded by some of this knowledge. Athena is such an open, authentic and interesting woman, you'll love this conversation and topics. Her humility, trust, humor, and true, candid honesty with herself along her pre-conception path is inspiring to me.
We talk about:
- Athena's path into herbalism (including the pop culture myth of echinacea and its actual traditional use), birthwork, and then fertility astrology
- History of fertility astrology and using its principles to potentially time conception and sex
- Hormonal fertility is most potent, and fertile moon phase is an additional but less potent access point
- The mystical connection women have with the moon and planets, and its entwinement with fertility
- Releasing what we are told/know about the rigid pattern of ovulation and examples of other animals in nature who release eggs based on the signal of sex
- Astrological influences and transits on conception
- Big 4 theories: gravitational pull on fluids, electromagnetic field that's being altered, moon light influence on hormones, the effect moon phases have on ionization - plus spiritual factors at play
- The many, many opportunities to deepen into trust that the pre-conception time and beyond offer us, as women
- "Women conceive how they live"
- Athena's own pre-conception paths: her current one full of humility, trust, and humor - along with her many layers of healing and shifting along the way
- The importance of witnessing during the motherhood continuum
- Her work with women in fertility through the lens of astrology (and more...)
- "If you don't conceive right away, its because there's something there for you."
Resources Mentioned:
Judith Hill's Astrology of Fertility course
"Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma" by Dr. Peter Levine
Athena is the devotional Keeper of Wild Willing Wisdom—a point of connection where women reclaim their conscious conceptions, wild births, and innate ability to heal. She is a womb-led practicing Fertility Astrologer and Herbalist who’s goal is guide to women into attunement with their cosmic fertility and authentic expression using star-centered and Earth-based wisdom.

Erika Wirth of Wirth Wellness and the Crunchy Mom Club podcast is on today to share her stories of healing her body on a deep level as she prepared for pregnancy, her sovereign pregnancy and birth experience, and then we have a conversation about respectful, new-earth parenting and mothering.
We talk about:
How Erika witnessed her mother loving her role, and how that led her to knowing mothering was one of the most important roles she could choose in life Entering motherhood as a stepmother first, and the differences between step-mothering and biological mothering Her deep healing pre-conception path: healing depletion and chronic illness, and all the diet, lifestyle, gut healing, cycle, hormone, and boundary changes she implemented Her pregnancy and birth experiences, starting with midwifery care and then her choice to freebirth A conversation on the choices we make and the history surrounding birthing alone vs. having female friends How it was to integrate a new baby into the family dynamic and her beautiful and supported postpartum experience. Then the reality after her mom left and immediately put back into the overwhelm of (essentially) solo mothering The importance in these times of finding like-minded mothers to surround ourselves with, when choosing instinctive parenting How becoming mothers has changed both of us and a conversation on how we view children, their souls, and the call to approach our children in a truly respectful way. The importance of awakening and shifting how we view our children compared to the mainstream approach to children How the energy of the mother affects the energy of our children: "One generally finds that infants are the most content and cheerful in the hands of mothers who move with ceremonious slowness" - Dr. Emmi PiklerErika is the creator and founder of Wirth Wellness, host of the Crunchy Mom Club podcast, mother to one, step-mom to one, and wife. After embarking on her own health reclamation adventure in her early 20s following years of chronic illness, mental health crisis, and burnout, she decided it was time to take healing into her own hands and get to know her body as brilliant not broken.
This process led her to step into the world of holistic health, energy medicine, and ancestral nourishment traditions. Eventually she healed her body, got pregnant easefully, and went on to have a natural pregnancy and free birth. Now, she supports women on the path to embracing Nature's blueprint for thriving. Whether that's in the preconception season of life, in pregnancy, birth, or postpartum, Erika is passionate about helping sisters create the life rhythms and rituals that feel deeply nourishing, intuitive, and gentle for both themselves and their young.

In this episode, Amber shares her experience of healing very painful periods and depletion from many years of a vegetarian diet and pregnancy. Through the simplicity of prioritizing nourishing and ancestral foods, she found her path to vitality. Amber details what eating a nourishing diet looks like for her, and how her womb and overall health has shifted greatly since changing the way she eats.
Amber talks about changing the narrative around loving, attachment parenting to also include letting our village support us. She also speaks to her Muslim faith, some of the misconceptions as she sees it, the elevation of women and mothers within Islam, and the sacred feminine element she centers within her faith.

This is a long title but within this topic, it truly encompasses SO much. This is a rich episode for women who want to become mothers one day and speaks to a huge part of the path that is often not touched upon much - that of learning through, supporting, and being with mothers/children/families.
We talk about:
Her reflections on her relationship with children, as well as how her friends feel Emily's family culture and experiences growing up, interest in kids and becoming a mother How birth control plays a role in so many women not desiring motherhood The opportunity for maidens to soak up experiences and styles of parenting by being around mothers Women should consider the importance of family presence as an entry to a more easeful motherhood - these are universal helpful structures Emily's conscious dating experiences, and advice for finding a resonant life partner. "When you're not entirely sure in your beliefs of who you are, you're also going to attract those who are not sure of their beliefs and who they are" The toxic mainstream culture on birth and motherhood Maidens in friendship with mothers can witness the integration of children into life, to model and show a different way than the common tropes of sacrifice, separation, and resentment Prioritizing integrating our children into our lives rather than regular separation - this increases our joy, pleasure, and love for them, and contributes to the deep hormonal bonding and evolution as a mother Consciously choosing to step away from mainstream parenting for an opportunity for a more fulfilling experience How I've experienced witnessing my young daughter's pure maiden joy, and how it's healed any fragmented maiden or dark mother energy as inherited by the culture Shifting orientation and mindset in maiden-to-mother season through surrounding yourself with who you want to become Realizing that motherhood brings you more into your full and whole self more, leads to purpose-finding. and healing toxic unconscious paradigms The importance of embodying your most radical beliefs when dating to avoid conflicts later in parenting with hot-button issues Emily's current longer-term path of preconception, and her priorities The importance of men spending time around fathers before their time Emily's advice for maidens to make more mother friends and how to have a more reciprocal relationship How mothers and maidens benefit from prioritizing relationships with each other Learning and being around each other in all the phases of womanhood Emily's monthly maiden + mother circles and Mother-Child astrology readingsEmily Bruce is an intuitive astrologer and radical woman dedicated to authenticity and truth. With her background in physiological birth and postpartum care, Emily brings a cosmic reverence into all of her work with women. She is the co-host of The Fifth Element Podcast, a podcast for people seeking intimate connection with their innermost self through holistic healing, cosmic consciousness, and radical rebirth, and host of the online Maiden to Mother circle, held on every full moon.

Emma is an inspiring woman who is deeply rooted in her ancestral Wise Woman ways of herbalism, ceremony and ritual, birthkeeping, and so much more. Enjoy this episode about peaceful birth, sitting in trust of the wisdom of the body, and leaning on herbal remedies for well-being.
We talk about:
Emma's easeful, trusting, and magical pregnancy and birth story Sauna as a womb space for birth and death and ritual/healing in Northern traditions Women's deep need for blessing during their pregnancy Her challenging postpartum as initiation and the sense that modern women are truly not prepared for this time How she thought she would want to be alone in the postpartum time, but instead discovered she really needed other wise women around her The blend of instinct and modeling in mothering The loss of divine love, protection, and blessings on a large scale - from not calling in our ancestors to be with us in our births, which is a core aspect of Ancestral Midwifery The expansion of pregnancy, down to the bones The steep learning curve of mothering and how we come to nourishing ourselves and finding our inner peace in our journey to heal an imbalance of over-giving The necessity of prioritizing solo time as our step to re-villaging and avoiding resentment towards our partners A conversation about the reality of village and community living, and how we may not be ready to make those concessions culturally yet. How Emma weaves in healing, nourishing, and herbal practices throughout her life - for herself and for her daughter Great herbs and homeopathy for babies and children and integrating them into their livesResources Mentioned:
