In this deeply soulful and eye-opening episode of Doula Talk: Postpartum, Babies, and the Battle for Sleep, Deb sits down with former midwife and The Natural Birth Podcast host Anna Lundqvist to explore one of the most profound transformations a woman can experience: the sacred and often-overlooked transition from maiden to mother.
Together, Deb and Anna dive into the emotional, physical, and spiritual shifts that happen as women move through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum — a process that’s far more than just gaining a new title. It’s a complete rebirth of identity, purpose, and self. Anna sheds light on why our culture doesn’t prepare women for this shift, how we’ve lost the communal “village” that once supported mothers, and what it means to reclaim birth and motherhood as sacred rites of passage instead of medical events or identity crises.
Listeners will find themselves nodding along as Anna explains how the brain literally rewires during pregnancy, how grief and joy can coexist in the postpartum years, and why redefining “sacrifice” as a sacred gift changes everything about how we mother. Deb brings her signature warmth and humor to the conversation, reminding parents that they can honor their transition, rebuild their village one connection at a time, and find peace in the messiness of becoming.
This episode is both grounding and empowering — perfect for anyone who’s ever thought, “No one told me it would feel like this.”
✨ Key Takeaways:
- The maiden-to-mother transition is a sacred rite of passage — not just a new job title.
- Your brain, heart, and identity all evolve during this journey — and that’s normal.
- It’s okay to grieve your old self while celebrating your new one.
- The “village” might not appear overnight, but you can begin building it in your own community.
Thank you for listening! Tune in next time for more insights and support on your parenting journey.
