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.

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.

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 circumcision Veda’s personal experience with vaccine injury as a child Reclaiming our right to choose from love, not fear Trusting your baby’s wisdom What it looks like to work with Veda This is a reclamation conversation.

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? Listen NOW! Anita x…
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!…
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Amy, a mother whose journey through birth has been nothing short of an initiation. From a traumatic first birth to an awakening moment in her second, Amy found herself walking the path toward sovereignty—culminating in the freebirth of her third baby at home, in just 90 minutes. We explore: ✨ Her first birth experience and the trauma that shaped her journey. ✨ The moment of awakening in her second hospital birth that changed everything. ✨ How her third pregnancy stretched to 43 weeks—the deep lessons, surrender, and letting go required before her baby could come. ✨ The bathroom birth—just her and her husband, completely self-led and instinctual. ✨ The initiations of birthing beyond the system and the spiritual transformation that unfolded. ✨ Amy’s work as a spiritual and energetic healer, guiding mothers through birth trauma and reclamation. This episode is a testament to the wisdom of the body, the power of surrender, and the unshakable knowing that birth is a portal. Amy’s story is a reminder that birth is not just a physical act - it’s an initiation into something greater. Tune in now to hear Amy’s incredible journey!

In this deeply personal and powerful episode, Bridie opens with a tear-jerking journal entry she wrote post-birth: a raw reflection on the profound lessons that birth gifted her. We then dive into her unexpected journey to conception, including cycle syncing, pill detoxing and the subconscious manifestation of a surprise baby. Bridie also shares how she found herself surfing at 37 weeks pregnant, feeling completely at home in her body, moving with the rhythm of the waves - despite questions and criticism from those around her. This story isn’t just about trust, it’s about fierce boundaries and energetic protection during the pregnancy and birth portal. Bridie takes us through: - The synchronistic dreams she and her partner shared - The midwife birth class from hell—and how it solidified her trust in herself. - How she navigated unsupportive family and community energy, standing firm in her birth choices from pregnancy through postpartum. - The powerful message from her baby during an ultrasound - the moment that stopped her from being pulled into the medical system’s cycle of ritualistic testing. - The 2 unexpected birth guides she became deeply connected to, who showed up to support her through labour. - Why she put her phone on Do Not Disturb for two weeks leading up to birth to fiercely protect her energy. - The criticism she faced regarding contact naps and how she leaned into her own instincts instead. - Her incredible self-healing journey after birth, including how she healed her own tear postpartum. This episode is an initiation into the wild, instinctual power of birth, the deep lessons our babies bring, and the unwavering strength it takes to walk your own path in a world that often questions it. If you’ve ever felt the weight of external voices in your pregnancy, birth, or postpartum experience, this episode is for you.

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Hayley Wilson (a fellow birthworker), to delve into the untold truths about homebirth midwifery in Australia. Whilst PPM's (Privately Pracitising / Homebirth Midwives) are often portrayed as independent, alternative and holistic; the reality reveals a deeper entanglement with the healthcare system’s policies and restrictions. We discuss the betrayal many birthing women feel when they discover the limitations imposed on these midwives, and therefore themselves in birth, often hidden behind the language of individualised care - and even 'rebellion'. Together, we unpack the systemic constraints that overshadow and shape their practice and how these realities impact the birthing experience for women seeking mother-centric care. This conversation is for birthing women to understand who and what they are bringing into their birth space when hiring a Homebirth Midwife - with 2 very important questions you should be asking uring the hiring process.…

Celebrating Death in Birth: The Early Freebirth of Freya Rose After experiencing a traumatic first birth, Erin decided she was going to freebirth her second child and during her pregnancy weaved a beautiful web of wise women around her; who would later become her supportive tribe when she birthed her babe early. Erin speaks so powerfully and so candidly about the loss of her baby girl and the medicine she received in being able to do so. She touches on the stigma around miscarriages and the unspoken process that becomes so dehumanised by the way society speaks about it and her newfound understanding that she wishes to share with other women - that death is sad, but not scary. Erin shares about the painful moment she first realised her baby had died, she describes the physiology of birthing her baby undisturbed and freely in her home, the difference between fear and body wisdom/intuition, the ways in she which she honoured her daughter, herself and her experience - and expresses so perfectly the duality of celebrating life and death together. Erin shares the gratitude and growth she leant into, her new relationship to life and birth via the desire she had to experience it all (physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally), the reclamation of, and reconnection to her body wisdom, through witnessing her body birth her babe unassisted - and the beautiful way she speaks about it all with her youngest daughter. Erin now facilitates Early Birth Shamanic Healing and Celebratory Ceremony and Ritual for women and is also now teaching Birthworkers how to come into relationship with death as a part of birthwork, so that they are able to support birthing women without fear. --- Connect with Anita at www.themidwitch.com Anita Katherine, The Midwitch Reconnecting you with your medicine, magic, & power.

We speak about the Pill and it's damaging effects, the natural forms of contraception and conception (that no one is speaking about), the difference between The Rhythm Method and FAM (The Fertility Awareness Method), learning to observe the body for hormonal health and fertility and our common dislike of Period Tracking Apps. We chat about common female reproductive health issues such as PCOS, Endometriosis, cysts and fibroids - some of the causes of these and offers some wise woman practices to correct them. Laura delves into Postpartum Tracking for Mothers and squashes the myths around a postpartum mother's cycle returning. This episode if full of the wisdom we wished our Grandmothers and the Crones in our communities had of passed down to us! --- Connect with Anita at www.themidwitch.com Anita Katherine, The Midwitch Reconnecting you with your medicine, magic, & power.

After an older wise women in her community told Kendall that Mothers used to birth their babies in the local river, she decided to birth her first babe at home - and that hiring a Midwife would be a 'happy medium' as a first time Mum. But once there was meconium in her waters, and her Midwife had consulted the hospital behind her back, she didn't feel supported anymore. Kendall's homebirth transfer resulted in a traumatic first birth. She lost trust in herself and became confused as to why her experience was so different from the birth vision she had worked so hard to manifest. Second time pregnant, Kendall spontaneously cancelled her one and only Midwife appointment to go surfing with her husband - and from that day forward took sole responsibility of her prenatal care. Kendall rented an Air BnB and found a supportive birth partner in her sister, alongside her husband. A momentary lapse in confidence during labour saw Kendall heading back to the same hospital she had birthed her first son. But divine intervention (and 2 cattle grids!) swept in en route to stop that from happening. I'll leave the rest of this epic story for you to listen to! --- Connect with Anita at www.themidwitch.com Anita Katherine, The Midwitch Reconnecting you with your medicine, magic, & power.

After a traumatic and painful induced first birth, followed by a disconnected postpartum; Chantelle swore she would never birth in the same rural hospital within her South Australian town ever again. Chantelle shares her journey to an unassisted second birth, including her early birth and loss in between and the visitation form her Spirit Baby that guided her in learning to trust herself again. She shares the ways in which she navigated a wild pregnancy in a small Australian town and the boundaries required when those closest to her disagreed with her birthing choices. Chantelle describes the way every part of her sacred and powerful freebirth healed her, including the revisitation to the hospital she had sworn never to return to, after an issue with her placenta delivery. Her story is one of powerful intuition and trust - and a perfect example of the ways in which we can, and should be able to, access medical care if needed. --- Connect with Anita at www.themidwitch.com Anita Katherine, The Midwitch Reconnecting you with your medicine, magic, & power.

This episode came from deep within the archives of 2020 unedited interviews, and it couldn't be unearthed at a more perfect time as women and birthworkers are exploring women's rights in childbirth within the system. I had an in depth discussion with Tina Charlton, Freebirth Witness and Support, starting out with her research in Obstetric Violence in her home country of Germany and then within her second home, Australia. We touched on the questions that so many women ponder, and the facts so many mis-educate on: Is it really enough to know your birth rights? The loose language used around these. Even when you know them, are they going to upheld? Is anybody ever held accountable if they're not? We dove deep into the reframing of birth trauma by the system, the normalisation of inflicted birth injuries, the grooming of women starting in teenage years under the guise of reproductive health, how to truly research birth and educate yourself with independent information, what true birth trauma support looks like and who you should be turning to for that, what is consent, what is medical negligence and lastly - why are there so many men in positions of care within women's reproductive health? --- Connect with Anita at www.themidwitch.com Anita Katherine, The Midwitch Reconnecting you with your medicine, magic, & power.

Feminine Rites of Rage with Vanessa Beauchamp from Weaving Hearth Vanessa is an extremely talented writer and creative, working to guide women in reclaiming their fire. I this episode, Vanessa shares her wisdom around the neglected, rejected and repressed parts of ourselves - as mothers and women; the split between the mother and the whore, the othering in the 'healer' world, what a true Matriarchal home can look like, the suppression rather than expression of what we feel as women and the detrimental ways this is feeding into the collective. We discuss the ways in which men have been granted permission to feel their rage and their fire, yet we have not as women; the ways we've been conditioned to override our sensory experiences instead of inviting them in; the ways in which we can clear the bloodlines of our ancestry and the unspoken shadow side of motherhood. The most important take away for me was the rembering that EVERYTHING walks with it's opposite; therefore when we push away our rage, we also push away our desire! I know you'll love this chat about uncovering our pains as women, to be able to experience the inflow of it's polar opposite - JOY! --- Connect with Anita at www.themidwitch.com Anita Katherine, The Midwitch Reconnecting you with your medicine, magic, & power.

Madeleine shares with us, what she describes as, the evolution of herself via the births of her 3 children. Starting out in the system with the belief that they were the experts on her body and her baby, to coming full circle and roaring her baby into the world unassisted and in her absolute power. Madeleine tells us how the 4 hour lecture from a Private Midwife was the catalyst to questioning everything she ever knew and had been told about birth, sending her on the trajectory of disallowing ANYONE telling her how her birth was going to be! --- Connect with Anita at www.themidwitch.com Anita Katherine, The Midwitch Reconnecting you with your medicine, magic, & power.

If you've been following Hannah's story since our first chat on channeling Spirit Babies and Conscious Conception, then you're going to love hearing part 2 of Hannah's journey - the story of conceiving her son, birthing him unassisted at home and finding a new way of healing through releasing the belief that the only way to heal was through a freebirth. Hannah also shares with us the almost identical unfolding of her son's birth, to her daughter's, with contractions starting at 28 weeks and birthing them both at 35.5 weeks; the divinely guided trip to the same hospital in the same triage room during labour and her partial placenta previa. We discuss many elements of the spiritual nature of birth, healing the mother wound, connecting with our Ancestors and how her placenta held the keys to healing her first birth trauma. --- Connect with Anita at www.themidwitch.com Anita Katherine, The Midwitch Reconnecting you with your medicine, magic, & power.

I've always said; if you want to learn about va((ines and how to make informed decisions about them as a mother - access the mother of a va((ine injured child. Because no one will have more information, more resources to provide you, more research to refer you to - and no one will understand the way the system works better than them. They've walked this path, into the fire and back - and I know you'll find this to be true too, after listening to this interview. In this episode of The Midwitch Podcast, I speak with Aussie Mama Melanie, who shares the story of her 6 and a 1/2 year old, va((ine injured son, Chandler. After Chandler received his 18 month va((inations, Melanie immediately knew something wasn't right with her son. She speaks of the way her intuition was ignored, the way in which Chandler was passed from Paediatrician to Paediatrician, from Child Health Nurse, to Speech Therapist, to Occupational Therapist. She discusses the way the Public Health System took no accountability and gave her no answers; diagnosing Chandler with a vaccine induced brain injury, but then revoking the diagnosis and wiping all evidence from his file. Yet advising her to continue him on the schedule... For the last 5 years; Melanie and her husband have spent all of their time, money and energy on healing their son from within, after the medical system failed to support them. This is a very raw discussion, about the journey Chandler and his family have been on - which unfortunately is a very common one within Australia. Melanie bravely and honestly shares the way Chandler has been let down by the system time and time again - whilst his Mother continues to seek the answers that everyone is trying to keep from her... --- Connect with Anita at www.themidwitch.com Anita Katherine, The Midwitch Reconnecting you with your medicine, magic, & power.

I speak with Martina, who was reported, investigated and suspended as a Private Homebirth Midwife in Australia. After realising there was no way she could support a birthing woman wanting to birth at home on their terms, by remaining registered with the system, and noticing herself practicing differently in order to toe the line with APHRA - she saw clearly that she could not fix the system from within it, and resigned from the medical birthing system all together. Martina talks about her journey to, and within, Midwifery, the unregulated investigation process she was taken through and the famous twin birth attendance that was the catalyst for her journey of awakening. This is a transparent and honest discussion that every birthing woman should listen to, to understand what overshadows you when choosing a medicalised homebirth, as well as the woman you are hiring to be present at your birth. --- Connect with Anita at www.themidwitch.com Anita Katherine, The Midwitch Reconnecting you with your medicine, magic, & power.
