# 11 Honor your postpartum. The postpartum is for every womb that has carried life. ™ - A conversation with Naomie Karemi Kaingu

In this episode I talk with fellow doula Naomie Karemi Kaingu about her way into birthwork, the importance of addressing death, loss and bereavement and authentic traditional birthwork. We dive deep into her book "Honor your postpartum: The postpartum is for every womb that has carried life TM", in which she shares wisdom from her Kenyan Mijikenda tribe and tips on how to accompany women and people in a soulful way during the postpartum period...as well as how it feels to be the first one to write about her own traditions in a time where Eurocentric reporting and cultural appropriation are still very present and the norm.

# 10 Deciding to free birth as a Panamanian mother, far away from the medical system - A conversation with Gabriela Blanco

In this episode I’ll have a conversation with Gabriela Blanco, Panamanian mother of two who lives in the Bocas del Toro Archipelago, a group of islands in the Caribbean Sea in the northwest of Panama. Gabriela shares her story about giving birth freely without medically trained assistance at home, surrounded by her partner, her son and her two best friends. She tells us what lead her to making the decision to give birth in that exact way, how she prepared for her birth experience and the positive, empowering and freeing impact which this birth experience has made and keeps making on her on her entire life.

#9 When breast implants cause disease: a conversation about BII, the breast implant illness - with Angela Maria Yepes

In this episode, Angela Maria Yepes, Colombian mother of two daughters and breast implant illness activist, will share her personal story. She’ll talk about that dream of having bigger breasts which she made true in her early twenties, but which would transform ten years later into a true nightmare. Angela shares her health struggles, all the obstacles put into her way until she finally found a doctor who mentioned the existence of breast implant illness, which then led her to the explant surgery of her breast implants one year ago.  This is an episode about unrealistic beauty standards, the normalization of pain when it comes to women and menstruating people, social and economic inequality but it’s also a conversation about hope, love and personal and collective empowerment.  Angela's IG Account: @punkbirdhouse [https://www.instagram.com/punkbirdhouse/] Breast Implant Illness Ressources: Breast Implant Illness Research & Recovery, Inc.
