Midwifery Wisdom Podcast

Augustine Colebrook and Maryn Green of IndieBirth sit down and delve into the profound shifts in midwifery as it has evolved into a modern profession. Maryn reflects on how this transition has reshaped the role of the midwife, distancing it from the deeply integrated archetype it once was—a cornerstone of community life, present for both birth and death, and supported by the very people they served.

Today, midwives often feel like isolated islands, disconnected from the grounded community support that once gave their work deep significance. In this conversation, they explore what has been lost, what can be reclaimed, and how midwifery can return to a model rooted in autonomy, interconnectedness, and ancient wisdom.
