Episode 008: Madi Reimer's Empowered & Holy Home Birth Story

Maven: Madi Reimer @madireimer on Instagram (she/her)

Welcome to the Mavens of Motherhood Podcast! This is a place to let go of shame, guilt and the unrealistic expectations placed on moms. I’m your host, Ella, and I reclaim wellness for mothers. I am a mama of three, yoga teacher and your maternal wellness coach. I am a survivor of postpartum depression and have experienced the loss of identity, overwhelm and anxiety that so many mothers today face.

Here’s what I believe: Being a mom does not mean being a martyr. You matter mama and deserve to feel well. Through honest conversations, relatable stories and expert interviews with mavens in maternal wellness, this is a space for you to learn, grow and be encouraged to keep prioritizing you.

I’m so excited to share our first birth story on the Podcast! My friend Madi Reimer, you may follow her on Instagram @madireimer. She is the quirky Minnesota gal pal who shares stunning sustainable outfits, motherhood inspiration and nourishment for your soul and body. She has a 2.5 year old Rosie and a newborn baby Zina who was born at home just a couple months ago. In this podcast interview we talk about the transition from one to two kids, unmedicated birth, home birth, postpartum and Madi’s connection to her faith in birth. It was seriously such a great conversation that I hope you all love. My favorite part is that we recorded it when Madi was just six weeks postpartum so everything was really top of mind for her and her sweet mama brain is like scrambled eggs focusing on baby Zina which I loved. I tried not to over edit so you get to hear the raw conversation as much as possible.
