Podcast Description
Welcome to the Midwife of Healing Podcast—a sacred listening space for remembering the ancient and future ways of Birth and Becoming.
I’m your host, Catalina Clark, I am a woman, mother, daughter, sister, Midwife and student on the healing path. With 10 years experience in witnessing Birth I have found my way home to supporting women in alignment with the natural world and the power of physiologic birth.
This podcast is for the ones who sense there’s more to life than what we’ve been told. For the ones who are ready to unlearn the old stories, reclaim their sovereignty, and Midwife a new paradigm into being.
Together, we’ll sit at the fire of deep and honest conversation with Midwives, healers, teachers, and truth-seekers. We’ll speak the language of the soul, of consciousness and of remembrance. Because Birth is a transformational threshold and an evolutionary portal into the next generation.
Whether you’re a mother, Midwife, father, partner, student, or simply a curious soul—may these episodes guide you back to your own knowing and inspire the collective healing we are here to Midwife together.
Because the way we give Birth is the way that we live our lives and the world is ready for something new.

Supported by COOKMA:
Hey Ya’ll! I’m so excited to introduce the very first aligned ambassador here on The Midwife of Healing Podcast, my dear friend Lisa from Cookma.
In this episode, Duncan shares how he nourished his wife Erin in those early postpartum days, supporting breastfeeding and bonding in the most grounded, practical ways with warm, healing food. Right before she gave Birth, Lisa sent them the Cookma Mama Bundle to enjoy during that sacred window.
And I just have to say I am a huge fan of Cookma in my own home. I send it to all my friends and family. I gift it in postpartum and I offer it to families in my Midwifery Care Community. Because Cookma is healing foods made easy! It’s organic, nourishing, easy on digestion, quite literally the perfect postpartum food.

Episode Summary:
Somewhere in the infinite spiral of human existence, between the mystery of consciousness and the chaos of modern life, there is a moment where everything begins; Birth!
The great portal where a new human arrives and where parents themselves are reborn.
But in our modern world, Birth has been wrapped in fluorescent lights, paperwork and protocols that often forget the ancient truth at the center of it all.
What happens when a father wakes up to that truth?
What happens when someone who has experienced the hospital system begins asking deeper questions about what Birth really is?
In this episode we explore those questions with comedian, philosopher-jester and cosmic explorer Duncan Trussell, who shares the journey that led him and his family from three hospital Births into the powerful and deeply human experience of Home Birth.
Together we talk about Birth, masculinity, consciousness, family and the strange miracle of being alive at all.
About Duncan Trussell:
Duncan Trussell is a stand-up comedian, writer and host of the widely loved Duncan Trussell Family Hour podcast, where conversations about consciousness, spirituality and the mysteries of human existence unfold through humor and curiosity.
He is also the co-creator and voice of the animated Netflix series The Midnight Gospel, which explores death, rebirth, meditation and human consciousness through surreal storytelling.
Beyond comedy, Duncan is a devoted father of four whose own experiences navigating both hospital and Home Birth opened a new dimension of understanding about family, responsibility and the sacred nature of bringing life into the world.

About Catalina:
I am a woman, mother, daughter, sister, Midwife and student on the healing path. With over 11 years of experience in Birth, I have found my way home to supporting women in alignment with the natural world and the power of Physiologic Birth. As a Home Birth Midwife in Sonoma County, I am devoted to walking with families in trust, reverence and love.I am here to walk with you along your path, to love you wherever you are and support you on your personal journey. I am not here to fix you or tell you what to do. To heal is to reclaim and reweave the fabric of your True Self back into your being, perfect and complete just as you are. When co-creating together we are stepping into a mutual relationship of universal love and trust with each other, ourselves and the divine.
Self-Directed Birth:
Self-Directed Birth is a foundational FREE resource for parents and practitioners who sense that Birth preparation must go deeper.
Inside, we explore sovereignty without isolation, physiology beyond ideology, nervous system awareness, altered states of consciousness and relational responsibility, inviting families and caregivers to meet Birth together.
This is not a checklist for Birth plans or a formula for achieving “pain-free” labor. It is an orientation toward embodiment, discernment and trust rooted in Self.

Quantum Childbirth Education:
Quantum Childbirth Education is a four-hour experiential class offered in person and online. It is designed for those who want to prepare for Birth as a state of consciousness.
Together, we will explore altered states of birth, self-directed preparation, nervous system awareness, Breathwork and the relational field of care, supporting parents and practitioners to meet Birth as equals in shared responsibility and trust.
This is not a Birth preparation method. It is an invitation to listen more deeply and prepare from within.

Midwifing the Midwife: Into the Quantum Paradigm:
A 3-month mentorship for Midwives and Birth GuardiansMidwifing the Midwife: Into the Quantum Paradigm is a longer, slower mentorship for those feeling the call to practice beyond protocol, performance and hierarchy. Over three months, we will gather in weekly live calls, reflective inquiry, shared dialogue and embodied practices to tend the inner work of Midwifery, discernment, presence and ethical sovereignty.
This space is for practitioners who know that the future of Midwifery will not be built through more control and competition, but through deeper listening, authenticity, transparency, integrity and trust.
Learn more about the mentorship ↗ – Enrolling this fall!
