Medicine Mother
Welcome to Medicine Mother. Hosted by Life Coach, Yoga Teacher and Mother, turned Creative, Kate Caddle.
In this podcast I uncover the profound wisdom embedded in the stories of women.
The medicine the world seeks lies within the voices and journeys of mothers—voices of intention, informed by lineage, and laced in deep-seated wisdom.
This podcast shines a light on mothers stories from conception, birthing, matrescence and well beyond, in an effort to help us and in turn, the planet, to reconnect to the innate wisdom within us all and regain the lost connection to soulful purpose.
So, settle in and join me as we rediscover our innate wisdom and lovingly enjoy the stories of one another.
Welcome, to Medicine Mother.

Episode 85 : IVF, Pregnancy, Placental Abruption, Late Term Loss, Birth and Life as a Mother to One on Earth and One in Heaven with Dani of My Darling Hart
In this week's episode I speak with Dani of @mydarlinghart. Dani is the kind of human that I watch in awe, knowing that what she has navigated must have broken her in ways most of us will never understand and yet, she manages to shine in the reality of her life and all that she has been through.
Dani is a 34-year-old wife and mama, who resides in Newcastle NSW. She has two beautiful daughters; Bonnie Hart in the stars and Inka James, who was born earthside this past Valentine’s Day.
Dani has poured her heart into a social media space, where she vulnerably shares her journey navigating infertility, baby loss, grief, and motherhood. She has recently found purpose in her pain, starting a volunteer role in Red Nose Australia’s new Footprints program.
She is passionate about sharing awareness and information (on safer pregnancy programs, safe sleep and bereavement care) and hopes that in the future, no parent will ever have to suffer the heartache of pregnancy or infant loss.
In this episode we talk about …
+ Dani's story of conception and pregnancy with each of her girls
+ Placental abruption and how that lead to the loss of her first daughter Bonnie Hart
+ How she navigated that time and when she knew she was ready to begin IVF again
+ What pregnancy after loss was like and how Dani was able to move into this next pregnancy at all
+ How history repeated itself in the way of another placental abruption, and how she feared the worst
+ What her birth was like with Inka James
+ How motherhood has been since welcoming her beautiful Inka James into her arms
+ What she is focusing on now and how we can support other parents navigating the unfathomable loss of an infant
Dani mentions her work with Red Nose Australia’s new Footprints Program and as mentioned on the episode, I want to make mention to this in case you are called to offer support in Bonnie’s honour.
Finally, you can make a difference and help fund world-leading research and support families impacted by death of a baby or child by making a donation to Red Nose.
You can read more about Dani’s work with Red Nose in the Shownotes for this episode.
