In this episode, I sit down in person with Mila Redwood for a powerful conversation about song as medicine, the healing power of the voice, and the deep connection between singing, belonging, birth, and postpartum healing.
Mila shares the story of her own “singing wound”—being told as a child that she couldn’t sing, and how that led her to tuck her voice away for years. Everything changed when she stepped into her first song circle and experienced what she describes as the greatest sense of belonging and connection she had ever felt. That moment became the catalyst for the work she now offers in the world.
Together, we explore how collective singing is an ancient technology of belonging, one that humans have used for thousands of years. We talk about reclaiming our voice, the oral tradition of call and response, and why singing in community can be such a profound support for us during pregnancy, labor, birth, postpartum, and grief.
This episode also dives into the powerful role of the voice in labor, including the throat-cervix connection, and how low-toned vocalization can support dilation, nervous system regulation, oxytocin release, and deeper connection between mother and baby.
Mila shares research from Singing Mamas in the UK, a worldwide movement supporting maternal mental health through group singing, including findings showing significant recovery rates for women experiencing postpartum depression- BETTER THAN CONVENTIONAL THERAPY!!!
The conversation expands into ancestral memory, forbidden songs, grief rituals, and the liberation that happens when women reclaim the voices that were once silenced.
This episode is a reminder that song is not about perfection. It is about connection, remembrance, healing, and coming back to ourselves.
