from Birth Agni · host Divya Kapoor/Rajat Mittal

Rajat Mittal is the founder of 'Boyish' - a monthly newsletter expanding the discourse on masculinity in India. Boyish aims to break Gender Stereotypes by talking about the impact of patriarchy on all genders of the society. Rajat's take on Boyish is fresh and intuitive. He is also a former co-founder of Menstrupedia.As a Father's day special, an yearly segment of Fatherhood stories on the Podcast, I was particularly driven to get him on board and learn from him precisely in what ways Parenting and Fatherhood laid the foundation of a more intuitive take on life which inturn could have led to 'Boyish'.Parenting opens up the same gates of society with a fresh perspective and we learn in the podcast:1) About Parenting and Fatherhood as a stereotyped role.2) Rajat's personal experiences of parenting and the impact it has on his life.3) How he looks at Parenting as more of an equal or a balanced affair.Learn about Rajat: Rajat on LinkedinNext up on Season 3 is a conversation on Paternal Postpartum Anxiety with Joshua Maze, Dad coordinator for Postpartum Support International .

Forget outdated, cookie-cutter birth plans and generic advice that leaves you spiraling down another Google rabbit hole. If you're pregnant, overwhelmed, and craving a straightforward guide to an unmedicated or low-intervention birth—you're in the right place. I'm here to help you spot red flags from a mile away, cut through the confusion, and navigate your birth choices without hesitation. You deserve to feel fully informed, prepared, and in control every step of the way, without the crunchy stereotypes or surface-level advice that misses the mark. It's time to stop second-guessing yourself and start advocating like you mean it—because your birth matters, your voice matters, and you deserve to walk into birth feeling confident AF. Doing It At Home - The Home Birth Podcast Independent Podcast Network | Sarah Bivens and Matthew Bivens Doing It At Home - The Home Birth Podcast is a weekly podcast about home birth and our decision to go from a traditional hospital birth with an OBGYN to a natural birth at home with midwives. This is a raw and honest show that explores homebirth from every angle. We talk about the fears and judgements thrown at you when you choose home birth. We share resources that we found tremendously helpful for understanding our birthing options. We confess the magic and craziness in preparing for pregnancy, home birth, motherhood and fatherhood. We talk about having sex while pregnant and maintaining your connection and intimacy as a couple. We reveal how to stay centered and not lose yourself through pregnancy, and tons more! This show is all about adding an empowered conversation to the topic of home birth and natural birth, while keeping it real, grounded and fun. So strap in and join us as we’re doing it at home! Who Am I Really? Damon L. Davis Adoptees telling their own stories of life in adoption, their search for their birth family, and how their reunion attempt turned out. Stories that make you laugh, cry, or simply say "wow".This podcast has two purposes: 1) To help you explore your own feelings about your adoption, accept your desire understand your own personal history, and decide for yourself whether reunification with your biological relatives is right for you. It will help you understand how others have dealt with issues related to protecting the feelings of their adopted families who may be supportive of your search, or question your motives and present challenges. 2) For non-adoptees, this podcast will help you understand some of what is in the minds of your friends, family members, or others who are adopted. Perhaps you had questions for them but you didn’t know if you should ask.The stories will make you smile or bring you to tears, but they’re all true as told b Fourth Trimester: The First Months and Beyond | Parenting | Newborn Baby | Postpartum | Doula Sarah Roselinda Trott My name is Sarah Trott. I started this show when I became a new mama to a vivacious baby girl and this podcast is all about postpartum care for the few months following birth, the time period also known as the Fourth Trimester. My postpartum doula, Esther Gallagher, is my co-host. She’s a mother, grandmother, perinatal educator, birth and postpartum care provider. I've benefitted hugely from her support. All parents can benefit from the wisdom and support that a postpartum Doula provides. Fourth trimester care is about the practical, emotional and social support parents and baby require, and importantly, helps set the tone for the lifelong journey of parenting. This podcast provides resources for new parents and examines the socio-cultural influences on parenting. When I first became pregnant, I had never heard of postpartum Doulas, let alone knew what they did.
