Episode 038 was one of the richest experiences I have had, interviewing Mama of 3, trained Doula and Engineer Emilie Leonard. You can find her on Instagram @thisrawmomlife

*Trigger warning: This episode shares a personal experience of depression and suicidal thoughts. The show is not intended to give medical advice or treatment. It is simply a woman sharing her story. If you are in need of help or support please reach out to a trained specialist. 

During this episode Emilie talks about:

—As a lover of learning, the stressful and polarizing time she had during her experience at university, despite achieving good grades in mechanical engineering

—The depression that ensued afterwards and the soul integration she faced 

—The shamanic experience of her depression and “entering the swamp” as she calls it

—The journey from engineer to full-on wild woman, teaching yoga, getting her reiki certification and then birthing and now schooling her kids outside of the system 

—Emilie’s wild experience as a doula and the trauma she witnessed in the birthing world 

—The synchronicities and the inner knowing of when Emilie felt her own children were about to be conceived

—Emilie’s personal transition from birth center birthing, to home birthing, to free birthing 

It was an honour to interview you Emilie. 

As the world continues to both censor and vilify stories of the divine feminine, the vision for the Story Sorce-ery podcast is to amplify the stories of women, their leadership and their liberation. These are the women who are remembering. These are the women who are doing the brave inner work. These are the kindest, bravest women I know. They are not just talking about the new world, they are creating it xx
