We're Maryn + Margo

We are mamas and birth workers who decided to do birth differently– and bring others along with us. We are kind, fun to work with, and great at (lovingly) calling people on their bullshit. With 12 children and 20 years of midwifery between us, we’ve learned a thing or two along the way, and Indie Birth is our space to share it all with you.

Join this conversation with Day Schildkret, an absolutely lovely guest, where he shares about the importance of ritual in marking life’s transitions and thresholds. Here at Indie Birth we love infusing our work with the sacred, and ceremony, and are always looking for more ways to offer this in an authentic and heart-centered way. Day’s new book Hello,Goodbye: 75 Rituals for Times of Loss, Celebration and Change is a manual that will help wherever you are at in your life and on your path into using ritual. The easy to follow and inspired rituals he lays out are a real treat. In the episode he shares a beautiful bath ritual for after birth, and a ritual to help honor an older child who is becoming a big brother or sister. I may tear up a little. This conversation left me with lots of ideas of how I will incorporate more ritual into my work as a midwife and into my life as a woman. I hope you are similarly inspired.
