Today we remember. We talk about birth as ceremony- for the mother, the parents, for the village, the land, the waters, and all our ancestors.

Rosa Amarilla joins me to share Andean-rooted wisdom on naming rituals, caring for the placenta, the medicine wheel, and what it really means to decolonize our care.

We also get practical: how to weave altar work, dreamwork, and small acts of reverence into day to day life.

How accountability can be love in action.

How mushrooms and plants can hold us through postpartum and pleno pausa.

This one is a blessing for birthworkers everywhere.

May it remind you that you are the medicine.
