09. Growing Together with Carson Meyer: A Return to Sacred Birth and Motherhood

In this powerful episode, Amber sits down with birth doula, mama circle facilitator, and author Carson Meyer to explore what it truly means to grow together — in birth, in motherhood, and in community.

Carson shares insights from her new book Growing Together and her virtual circle series that support women in preparing for birth from a deeply embodied, intuitive place. Together, they unravel the complexities of the birth industrial complex, challenge modern assumptions around medicalized birth, and explore what’s possible when women choose home birth, free birth, and wise woman ways.

This conversation also opens the portal to early motherhood — including the often-silent truths of breastfeeding beyond infancy, toddler weaning, and how to stay grounded in your own rhythm amidst the noise of modern parenting culture.

Topics we cover in this episode:

• Reclaiming birth as a sacred rite of passage

• The ripple effects of the industrial birth complex

• Home birth and free birth as ancestral, sovereign choices

• The role of doulas in a shifting birth landscape

• Breastfeeding, weaning, and mothering from intuition

• The power of ritual and community in postpartum care

Whether you're pregnant, postpartum, or walking the path of reclamation, this episode offers a gentle but radical remembering.
