25. The Lost Art of Honoring the Mother
The Well-Nourished Mother: Helping You Thrive in Pregnancy, Birth & Motherhood·Lauren Fortuna-Floch·22 March 2026·8 min

About this episode
In this episode Lauren explores what's been quietly lost in the way modern culture approaches birth — and how to begin bringing it back through simple, intentional ceremony.
Lauren shares about the history of birthing rituals, why they disappeared, the importance of honouring the traditions, cultures, and lineages that have shaped these practices, and the simple, beautiful practice of a Mother Blessing.
If you've ever wanted someone to really, truly show up for you before birth, or you want to be that person for someone you love...
The complete Planning A Meaningful Mother Blessing guide has everything you need to make it happen. Rituals, readings, facilitation tips, ceremony flow, printable tools, and recipes.
