Ever wondered what midwifery really means? How herbs can actually support fertility and healing? Episode 1 is where the conversation begins.

In the very first episode of Midwives & MilkTea, host Stefanie Henderlin welcomes you into a space where midwifery meets herbal wisdom, and where every conversation is brewed with curiosity, compassion, and a little botanical magic.

Stefanie shares the heart behind the podcast and opens up about her own path—from guiding parents through their feeding journeys to exploring the deep connections between the body, the earth, and time-tested traditions. She also touches on a deeply personal chapter in her life: her fertility journey, and how she found support in both modern knowledge and herbal allies.
But this episode isn’t just about her story—it’s about rethinking what care can look like. You’ll hear insights on:

• The philosophy of midwifery and why it matters beyond birth.
• The intertwined history of midwives and herbalists.
• Gentle truths about herbal safety and fertility.

And that’s just the beginning. Stefanie leaves plenty for you to discover when you press play—from the myths she’s eager to bust, to the practical wisdom you can take into your own journey.

✨ Pour yourself a cup of tea, settle in, and listen to the full conversation.
