On this week’s episode of The Be Well by Kelly LeVeque Podcast, I’m joined by Lindsey Meehleis, a birth worker with over 20 years of experience supporting women through one of life’s most profound transitions.
Lindsey has attended thousands of births and brings a unique approach that blends her traditional medical training with what she calls “Great Grandma Wisdom,” a philosophy that honors the sacred mystery of birth, life, and death in a way that modern medicine often overlooks.
Lindsey’s vision for the future of healthcare is one rooted in autonomy, safety, and community. She advocates for individualized care that meets each woman where she is, offering support that honors her unique body, story, and birth plan. “Great Grandma Wisdom” is Lindsey’s way of describing the intuitive knowledge that has guided women through birth for generations. While medical training is invaluable, she believes that birth isn’t something you can fully learn from a textbook—it’s a sacred rite of passage that requires heart, intuition, and reverence. Lindsey’s work brings this wisdom back into modern conversations about birth and healthcare.
This powerful conversation is about so much more than birth—it’s about reclaiming autonomy, embracing trust in your body, and reshaping the way we approach healthcare for women and families. Whether you’re planning for pregnancy, curious about midwifery, or simply passionate about empowering women, this episode offers wisdom and inspiration for every stage of life.
