In this personal episode, we’re sharing our birth stories. From conception to pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum experience—nothing is off-limits. Shaniel and Sydney open up about their very different journeys into motherhood: the surprises, the challenges, the sacred moments, and the deep transformations along the way. Whether you're trying to conceive, currently pregnant, a new parent, or simply curious about the motherhood path, we invite you into this honest and open conversation.
We talk about what we wish we knew, what helped us feel empowered, and how astrology and human design supported us through it all.
This is a 2 part episode. In part one we dive into our conception and pregnancy journeys.
A note of acknowledgment: We are two white, cisgender women with access to supportive partners, healthcare, and resources—privileges that shape our experiences and are not available to all. We share our stories with humility and awareness, knowing that every birth journey is deeply individual.
Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of medical interventions, emotional challenges, and vulnerable postpartum experiences. Please take care while listening.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
