In this very first episode, Charlotte Brielle, founder of Wombs of the World, sits down with doula and communications manager Kyndrick Peachey to ground us in the basics of birthwork. Together they explore what a doula is, how doulas and midwives differ, and why the doula’s role is such a vital bridge between ceremony and medicine.

From the rise of doulas worldwide to the traditions of rebozo and closing ceremonies, to the realities of hospital systems and white coat authority, this conversation weaves global perspectives with practical insights. You’ll also hear the story of how Wombs of the World began, why travel changes the way we see birth, and what’s ahead for trainings, trips, and the Berlin Summit.

Whether you’re brand new to birthwork, training to become a doula, or simply curious about how culture and care intersect in the most universal human experience, this episode sets the stage for what’s to come.
