This Podcast explores how indigenously Birth has always unfolded, among women - our tribe, where children could see how breastfeeding was done and how birth happened. This an attempt to fetch the stories of the past as well as bring out the new India’s Birth culture to expose the defining features in both. This shall join the dots to where the increasing problems of postpartum anxiety, rising rate of surgical births and poor breastfeeding outcomes are coming from.

Birth Agni - Agni meaning Fire, the Fire that brings us alive, transforms us and has the ability to burn. Birth is designed to affect a woman’s integrity. It is the fire of awakening that makes her life experience wholesome. Deep down her body knows what Birth is supposed to feel - a euphoria of bringing a new life on Earth. The cocktail of hormones are designed to give her a high.

However, birth today has quickly swayed away from a phase of joy to the one marked by Fear, the constant questioning of a woman’s capacity to Birth naturally and the ugly calculation of the odds of a healthy baby at the expense of the mother’s health. We forget that their health is interlinked and flourish as a dyad. In India, the urban rate of Cesarean Sections on an average until 2020 is a whopping 40% which is concerning.

Birth is linked to Patriarchy, Healthcare Politics and Women’s Rights. Respect in Birth is long due to women and it affects the core of who they are.


Join me Divya Kapoor, a Certified Birth and Lactation Counselor and aspiring Traditional Birth Attendant in the quest to shine light on what we can do as parents and a community to change the narrative.

    #142 - Part I - Why Kriti Chose a Home Birth – Her Pregnancy Story
    Sep 30 2025

    Kriti and Ashish left behind a city life to build a farm and live in a remote village - all because it meant a slower life of connection.

    "We would not have had a baby had we been in the city", Kriti says and then goes on to share how living with nature, they started craving to have a third energy in her own words in the world around them.

    In this episode, Kriti also shares how the collective women echoed a sense of strength in birth but when she went the regular route of going to a doctor, they were always reminded to be cautious , not joyous.

    This contrast and an episode of misconduct from the doctor shifted their approach to a more natural birth .

    Tune in to hear us discuss:

    • Kriti's journey of Pregnancy
    • The Women's experience and wisdomm of Birth around her.
    • The circumstances with the doctor that led to a shift in their approach.
    • The decision to birth at home
    • The choice of a local dai to support them

    Kriti is the founder of the permaculture farm ‘Slowness Himalayas’. Natural dyer and ethnobotanist.

    #141 - Postpartum Depression - my experience - Retake
    Sep 23 2025

    Postnatal Depression - My experience...

    This is a Retake of the first episode of Birth Agni, postpartum depression, because it is an important discussion area. It’s me, vulnerable, traumatised by the Birth experience , cornered in the family power dynamics and sleep deprived.

    I share what my own experience in this episode along with

    • Symptoms of Postnatal Depression as different from Postpartum Blues.
    • Ways you can recognise it
    • What helped me heal from it
    • What should Father/Family/Partners do
    • How family dynamics affect Postpartum and how men can protect their women in it.

    If you’re a new parent, expecting, or just want to understand what it feels like when things don’t look picture-perfect after birth—this is for you.

    Let’s make space for the messy, the scary, the raw, and remember that you are not alone.
