In this soul-led season opener, we reimagine postpartum care through the lens of ancestral wisdom, liberation theology, and dream space. If you're a doula, healer, or birthworker yearning for a deeper, more sustainable path, then this one's for you. We name what the textbooks never taught us: that rest is a birthright, ritual is medicine, and we deserve to be held as much as we hold others.

Inspired by the work of Tricia Hersey (Rest is Resistance), this episode invites you into a vision of postpartum that is sacred, spiritual, and sovereign.

Because I know you… even if we’ve never met.

You’re devoted. You show up. You pour out. You believe deeply in this work but you’ve also wondered…

“Who pours into me?”

“Is it possible to care without collapsing?”

This episode is your permission slip to ask those questions out loud.

It’s where we trace the lineage of caretakers and tell the truth about what was lost along the way. We talk about:

✨ What burnout is really a symptom of

✨ The erasure of postpartum wisdom

✨ Spiritual technologies to support us sustaining ourselves and our communities

✨ What it means to dream a new care culture for everyone involved

So if you’ve ever felt overextended but under-held…

If you serve others but secretly crave a place to be seen…

If you know there must be another way, a softer way, this episode is your beginning.

🎧 Listen deeply. This episode is a prayer, a remembering, and a call to reimagine what’s possible.
