Midwifing a Cultural Shift: Reclaiming the Wisdom of Motherhood with Rachelle Seliga

This week, Jenny is sitting down with Rachelle Seliga to talk about the raw, complex realities of motherhood, grief, and the power of acceptance. Rachelle is a devoted Mother and Midwife whose work is dedicated to midwifing a cultural shift - where our innate wisdom, personal authority and the sanctity of Life are honored and centered. Rachelle's legacy work is INNATE Postpartum Care - Certification Training, which teaches the global postpartum tradition of "Physiologic Postpartum Care," the unifying tradition etched into the blood and bone of postpartum women. Thousands of practitioners are trained in INNATE's body of work; supporting thousands of families worldwide. Rachelle lives and works from the understanding that: The most effective and powerful usage of our respective & collective energy, comes from following that which is most alive in us - and creating from THIS place. In this way systems and structures that align with Life and our connection with it - are born.  In this episode, they explore how societal conditioning often pushes mothers toward martyrdom, and why embracing emotions — even anger — can be a catalyst for empowerment and change. Rachelle shares her journey of building supportive spaces for moms, highlighting that leadership in motherhood is about facilitating growth, not seeking approval. They also touch on the importance of emotional intelligence and how acknowledging feelings helps navigate challenges. From the critical need for postpartum care to the unique hurdles of raising teens, they stress that mothers need deep resources and support as their children grow. Health choices made today have a cumulative impact on future well-being, and both rest and nourishment are key to recovery.This conversation reminds us that self-care isn’t about adding more to your plate — sometimes it’s about letting things go. Motherhood is a journey of acceptance, self-discovery, and learning to transform challenges into opportunities for growth.
