Her Herd

In this heartfelt podcast episode, I sit down with Raechel, an incredibly talented country singer-songwriter, whose story is as inspiring as her music. Raechel’s journey into the world of songwriting was deeply shaped by her childhood spent performing in her family band, while traveling and living in a caravan across rural Australia. These early years fostered a profound connection to the land, and it’s this connection that permeates her music today.

Raechel is not only a gifted artist but also a dedicated mum, radiating warmth, positivity, and an unshakeable talent. As we delve into her personal story, she opens up about her unique pregnancy and birth experiences. From her first birth in the private system in a big city to her final one—a home birth in a rural community with no local maternity services—Raechel’s journey highlights the incredible resilience and strength of women, especially in rural maternity black spots.

Raechel speaks so beautifully about her last birth, supported by midwives who truly go above and beyond to create innovative and compassionate solutions for women in these under-served areas. She talks openly about the process, the beauty of trusting her intuition, and the empowering experience of leaning into her own power.

The conversation takes a vulnerable turn as Raechel shares her story of miscarriage. With raw honesty, she walks us through her personal experience of miscarrying at home, discussing the emotional and physical challenges she faced, both expected and unexpected. Her openness and honesty about the process offer comfort and understanding to those who may have gone through a similar journey.

This episode is an epic conversation with a woman who feels like your best friend by the end. Raechel’s warmth, honesty, and incredible strength shine through as she shares her personal experiences, her wisdom, and her deep connection to the experiences that shape both her art and her life.
