Wombs of the World Podcast

You asked, and we answered.

In this Instagram Q&A episode, Charlotte, founder of Wombs of the World, joins Kyndrick Peachey to talk birthwork origin stories, global trips, ceremony, baby-doula enthusiasm, unexpected moments (yes, including baboons), and what it really means to be called into this work.

This conversation is heartfelt, unfiltered, and full of stories from the road, the birth room, and the in-between. If you’re curious about how Wombs of the World began, why birth is a ceremony, or whether birthwork might be tugging at you too, this episode is for you.

Note: This episode was recorded before the launch of the Wombs of the World Doula Training! If you’re feeling the spark and want more of this energy, education, and community, come join us and become a birthworker:

In this episode, I sit down with Shreni and DJ of We Have Kids Now for a conversation that spans continents, birth systems, and the deep work of partnership.

Shreni shares her two very different birth stories: giving birth to her first child during COVID in China, where she experienced a fascinating and deeply supportive model of postpartum care, and then welcoming her second baby in the midst of the California wildfires, navigating uncertainty, stress, and a precipitous labor. Through it all, Shreni and DJ have continued to choose intimacy, communication, and teamwork as the foundation of their family.

Together, they have distilled their hard-earned wisdom into a course designed to help couples feel more prepared, connected, and supported as they move from preconception through postpartum.

This was such a powerful opportunity to hear from them as a couple and to learn more about the heart behind their work.

You can find Shreni and DJ at @we.have.kids.now, where they share education, resources, and a free postpartum guide.

They also offer a self-paced course for expecting and new parents. Listeners can use the promo code WOMBSOFTHEWORLD to receive 15% off their course.

FR 🇫🇷 (Pour celles et ceux qui ne le savent pas, j’ai grandi en France et je vis à Paris aujourd’hui.) Dans cet épisode en français, je reçois Mama Cam, Camille Denois, doula basée en Colombie et de retour en France cette saison. Camille est un pont, profondément respectueuse des pratiques ancestrales, tout en honorant la puissance de la médecine moderne quand elle sert les mères avec humanité. On parle de deuil, de douleur, du temps comme ingrédient oublié, de l’eau comme thérapie, de postpartum, et de la manière dont nos cultures peuvent se rencontrer sans appropriation, avec curiosité et humilité.

EN 🇬🇧 (If you did not know, I grew up in France and live in Paris today.) In this French-language episode, I sit down with Mama Cam, Camille Denois, a doula based in Colombia who is returning to France this season. We explore how birth does not have to be either or, there is room for ancestral wisdom and modern medicine to work together, in abundance, for the sake of mothers.

In this episode of the Wombs of the World Podcast, I sit down with Nina Vermeulen, a doula, artist, and space holder based in Belgium and the founder of Your Voyage Home.

Our conversation moves gently through the quiet, often hidden chapters of becoming: preconception, pregnancy loss, longing, grief, and the deeply tender question so many carry, am I a mother? Nina shares her journey into birthwork through ritual, music, and storytelling, including her experience of preparing for motherhood, becoming pregnant, and losing her child during pregnancy.

We talk about the emotional toll of trying to conceive, the isolation surrounding miscarriage, and how rarely these experiences are named out loud. We reflect on identity, on mothering beyond biology, and on what it means to hold life, love, and loss in the body. We also explore the power of community, asking for support, and creating spaces where these stories can be witnessed with care.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, soften, and remember that every threshold deserves tenderness. Nina closes by sharing an original song, offered as a gentle gift to listeners.

In this episode of the Wombs of the World podcast, Charlotte sits down with the incredible Chantal Blake, a menstrual health educator, mother, and founder of Honored Womb, as well as the author of Peaceful Periods: Holistic Womb Care for Teens.

Together they explore vaginal steaming as ancestral medicine and modern therapeutic tool. Chantal shares how steaming can support painful periods, infections, fibroids, postpartum healing, and even the birth process. They also talk about cycles as a vital sign, the huge gap in teen menstrual education, and what it means to return to relationship with our wombs, each other, and the earth.

This is a nourishing, expansive conversation for anyone who has a womb, loves someone with a womb, or supports cycle + birthwork.
