Why the beginning matters: Lilia Khousnoutdinova on childbirth, a woman’s transformation into a mother, and our relationship with life and death
This episode is exceptional for me in a few ways. Not only because of the topics it touches on, but also because of who I recorded it with. My guest is Lilia Khousnoutdinova, a historian and political scientist, a guide in rites of passage, and the founder of the Propolis 33 foundation fund. She is also my wife and someone who has long been opening up conversations about subjects that are often barely discussed, if at all.
