MotherTongue is a biweekly podcast centering the voices and stories of mamas who are changing the culture of motherhood. In these multifaceted conversations, we explore matrescence through a lens of transformation. Midwife, mother, matrescence mentor, and founder of MotherFLY, Corina Fitch and her guests unpack the patriarchal roots and costs of our current cultural models for motherhood - the martyr and the supermom - and collectively speak into being a new matriarchal archetype for sustainable and thriving motherhood- the MotherFLY.

Called to Catch Life - Midwives in Rural Uganda
Episode 21
Thursday, 19 February, 2026
During my two months in Uganda, I had the privilege of working alongside the extraordinary midwives at Mother Health International, a birth house rooted in compassion, skill, and deep commitment to the mothers they serve.In this episode, recorded outside the birth house with the sounds of chickens wandering in the background, I sit down with several midwives to hear their stories — how they found their way into this calling, what they love most about their work, and the realities and challenges facing the women in their community.These conversations are honest, heartfelt, and humbling. We talk about resilience, resourcefulness, and the shared devotion to mothers that transcends geography and culture. Being there reminded me that while birth unfolds in very different contexts around the world, the heart of midwifery — presence, trust, and care — is universal.I’m honored to share these voices with you.I worked closely with midwife Monica, who is trying to further her education. If you'd like to donate towards her tuition, you can do so here.
