Silent Grief of the Womb: Fertility, Loss & Initiation with Shereen Öberg | Ep 41

Have you ever felt into the deep, often unseen experiences women carry in the womb?

Infertility, birth, abortion, miscarriage, reproductive loss, postpartum grief, painful periods, hormonal imbalances, endometriosis, fibroids, cysts, and all the ways the womb can open us, trigger us, connect us, and initiate us.

Many women carry silent grief.

Unspoken stories.

Unheld initiations.

Wounds related to the womb, the body, motherhood, and the reproductive journeys that are often unseen or experienced alone.

In this conversation, I sit with Shereen Öberg, a doula, Reiki practitioner, writer, author, and researcher in reproductive health and rights. She is also the creator of the Law of Positivism and the author of an oracle deck dedicated to her Kurdish ancestry, weaving together feminine spirituality, healing, ancestral connection, and womb wisdom.

Shereen and I have been connected for many years through the unseen threads of this work, through podcast conversations, feminine healing, and a shared devotion to the womb mysteries. Recently, our paths crossed again in a deeper way, and it felt as though our wombs were calling us together into sisterhood, healing, empowerment, and the sacred work we are now feeling called to birth.

Together, we enter the tender and often untapped space of reproductive grief, ancestral memory, feminine spirituality, and the sacred work of being held through what life asks us to meet.

Shereen shares how her years of infertility shifted her from feeling empowered and in control into a deeper surrender. We speak about the anger many women feel toward themselves and their bodies, the pain of feeling betrayed by the body, and the grief that so often remains unseen.

Because grief is a transformative experience.

It is initiatory.

And when we do not feel it, when we only rationalize it, it can get stuck somewhere in the body.

This episode is a moment to feel into the silent grief, the reproductive experiences that are not always given ceremony, language, or community, and the ways the Mother, the Goddess, the ancestors, and the elements can hold us as we move through life, death, loss, and birth again.

If you have ever carried grief in silence, or felt your womb asking to be witnessed, this conversation is for you.
