Becoming a parent is a profound transformation, filled with both awe and responsibility. Midwife Lindsay Meehleis, with over two decades of experience, joins the conversation to reveal the deeper wisdom of birth, the power of intuition, and the ways medical intervention has shaped modern childbirth. Through personal reflections and expert insights, we uncover how birth is not just a medical event but a sacred rite of passage — one that requires trust, advocacy, and a return to natural wisdom. From the role of fathers in the birthing process to the cultural fears surrounding childbirth, this episode is a call to reclaim birth as an intuitive, empowering experience that shapes not only our children but our own personal growth.

For the past 22 years, Lindsey Meehleis has worked in Healthcare, being called into Birthwork 20 years ago and having witnessed thousands of women birth their babies. Trained traditionally and licensed through the Medical Board, she quickly learned that what is needed in the magic and mystery of birth and death can’t be found in a book. She weaves “Great Grandma Wisdom” into our modern world. She has witnessed a drastic shift in Healthcare since 2020 and looks forward to co-creating a new future of what true medicine always was. She gets down to the nitty-gritty of LIFE and everything it brings while illustrating the power that we have within, showing that birth, life, and death are pivotal rites of passage that deserve to be held in sacred deep reverence.
