• 11 · Babies Know, Birthworkers Forget with Janisa Camille
    Jan 13 2026

    What do babies know that birth workers too often forget?

    In this episode, we explore a truth that lives beneath technique, protocols, and performance: babies already know how they want to be born—and birth work is not about control, but listening.

    This conversation dives deep into the spiritual, emotional, and embodied dimensions of birth, womb wisdom, and transitional care. We talk about intuition as a skill, the womb as a living archive that keeps count of trauma and tenderness, and why not every doula is meant to practice the same way... or even practice in every season.

    You’ll hear reflections on:

    • Why birth is fundamentally spirit work, whether we name it or not
    • How trauma, surrender, and intuition shape labor and birth outcomes
    • The responsibility birth workers hold in protecting energetic thresholds
    • Why rest is not a luxury, but a requirement for sustainability
    • How birth work extends far beyond the delivery room into grief, menopause, rebirth, and life transitions


    This episode is for doulas, midwives, birth workers, healers, and families who are ready to move beyond surface-level care and into deeper listening—of the body, the womb, and Spirit.

    If you’re navigating burnout, transition, or the in-between spaces of life and work, this conversation is an invitation to pause, rest, and remember what you already know.

    Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do…

    is listen.

  • 10 · The Cost of the Calling with Janisa Camille
    Jan 6 2026

    What does it really cost to answer the call to birth work?

    Not the certification. Not the hours. Not the money. But the spiritual cost; the unseen.

    In this opening episode of our 4-part mini-series, I sit down with Janisa Camille — birth worker, teacher, matriarch, and lineage carrier — for a raw, unfiltered conversation about what happens when birth work isn’t a career choice… but a spiritual assignment.

    We talk about:

    • Doula burnout and why so many birth workers leave within 3–5 years... or less.
    • The difference between ego-driven purpose and spirit-led calling
    • What it actually looks like to be “chosen” by the work
    • Lineage, matriarchy, and spiritual mothership
    • What is not optional in this work
    • The unseen sacrifices this work can demand
    • Sustainability, integrity, and staying rooted without losing yourself


    This is a conversation for doulas, midwives, healers, and aspiring birth workers who feel the pull, but are asking themselves how to stay.

    Because this work will take everything… unless you learn how to hold it differently.

    If you’ve ever felt called, overwhelmed, devoted, conflicted, or quietly burning out, this episode is for you.

    And if you’re ready to remember that you are your first client, come sit with us.

  • Holiday Rewind · The Architecture of Postpartum Healing
    Dec 30 2025

    What if postpartum healing isn’t random, but architectural?

    In this week’s episode, I invite you into the blueprint beneath every thriving mother, every sustainable doula, and every lineage of care that has endured. I'll reveal a design older than medicine itself: one built on rhythm, reciprocity, and remembering.

    Through story, science, and Spirit, we explore what true restoration requires… and what happens when we begin to rebuild from the ground up. This is a teaching, a transmission, and a turning point all at once.

    Because postpartum was never meant to merely be survived.

    It was meant to hold and transform us.

  • Holiday Rewind · Becoming the Medicine, Not the Martyr
    Dec 23 2025

    What if your medicine didn’t require self-erasure? In this episode, we name the martyr myth and rebuild devotion as a covenant with ritual, rest, and reciprocity at the center.

    You’ve mastered care. But have you mastered containment?

    This episode names one of the most dangerous myths in birthwork: that devotion means depletion — that being “a good doula” means abandoning your own body.

    Becoming the Medicine, Not the Martyr is a radical reframe for every birthworker who’s been praised for self-sacrifice… but is secretly exhausted.

    In this episode we explore:

    • the neuroscience of mirror neurons + co-regulation in postpartum care
    • how your nervous system becomes the first altar of healing
    • why burnout is not a scheduling issue
    • the subtle shift from entanglement into embodied covenant
    • the ritual + physiology that protects the healer while you serve


    If you’ve ever felt drained after a birth, overwhelmed, or like you’re “carrying” someone else’s pain home with you, this is the episode that will change how you work and how you walk into rooms.

    Prepare to shift the way you show up in the birth space. Not by pouring more, but by remembering how Spirit designed you to be resourced, nourished, and held. This is the revolution of sustainable devotion.

    And your body has been waiting for this conversation.

  • 09 · Integrating Healing, Skill, and Liberation
    Dec 9 2025

    In this episode of Postpartum Liberation, Danielle explores why postpartum care so often falls short—even when it’s well-intentioned—and what becomes possible when healing, skill, and liberation are no longer treated as separate conversations.

    Drawing from lived experience in postpartum homes, nervous system science, and lineage-rooted care, this episode names the limits of insight without support, technique without attunement, and liberation language without embodied practice. Danielle invites listeners—parents, doulas, midwives, and birthworkers alike—to consider a more integrated approach to postpartum care: one that listens deeply, responds skillfully, and remains grounded in justice and safety.

    This is not a list of tips or a quick fix. It’s a reframing of what postpartum actually asks for when bodies are open, nervous systems are vulnerable, and care must move beyond theory into lived reality.

    If you’re navigating postpartum recovery, supporting families in the fourth trimester, or questioning why “doing all the right things” still doesn’t feel supportive, this episode offers language, clarity, and a grounded way forward.

  • 08 · Rupture, Repair, and the Real Work of Postpartum
    Dec 2 2025

    Postpartum is one of the most powerful laboratories of rupture and repair in a human life. In this episode, we explore why moments of misattunement, overwhelm, emotional tension, and nervous system spirals are not signs of failure, but invitations into deeper healing, connection, and transformation.

    We break down what rupture really is, why it happens so often in the early weeks after birth, and how repair becomes one of the most important postpartum skills a family can learn.

    You’ll learn how postpartum rupture shows up in partnerships, identity, lineages, nervous systems, and everyday life... and why repair has the power to interrupt generational patterns that have lived in a family for decades.

    This conversation blends Spirit, Science, and Storytelling to help birthworkers, doulas, midwives, and new families understand:

    • Why postpartum emotions feel so intense
    • How the vagus nerve and nervous system react to overwhelm
    • What unrepaired rupture does to the brain and body
    • Why micro-repair rituals build secure attachment
    • How lineage trauma resurfaces in postpartum
    • How to guide families back into safety, softness, and connection


    If you’ve ever wondered why postpartum feels so raw, or how to support families through the toughest emotional moments, this episode will give you the language, the science, and the spiritual grounding to meet rupture with tenderness and turn it into repair.

  • 07 · When “Healthy Mom, Healthy Baby” Is a Lie
    Nov 25 2025

    In this episode, I pull the curtain back on one of the most common postpartum myths in birthwork: that a “perfect” birth guarantees a peaceful fourth trimester. Through the story of a mother, I walk you into a home where everything sounded beautiful on the outside — healthy mom, healthy baby, no complications — yet the room told a different truth.

    This is a conversation for doulas, midwives, and postpartum birthworkers who’ve ever felt that quiet tension when the story you were told doesn’t match what you’re sensing in the space. I'll break down why postpartum reality often lives beyond what’s visible, and how to practice assessing the situation beyond what's on the surface.

    You’ll learn how to trust what you notice, lead with regulation, and offer care that honors the real postpartum experience, not just the polished narrative.

    If you’ve been looking for language (and permission) to name what so many families are living in silence, this episode will meet you right at the threshold.
