To close this season, I wanted to bring you a guest whose presence and legacy transcend words, so I invited back the legendary elder midwife, @sistermorningstar.In this powerful and intimate conversation, Sister MorningStar shares the stories of her three births, her lifelong devotion to traditional midwifery, and the extraordinary account of being put on trial for standing by a mother through a stillbirth at home. This episode is a testament to integrity, to ancestral memory, and to the unshakable fire it takes to stand for women in a culture that does not.✨ That's a wrap on Season Eight. Deep gratitude to every woman who has shared her story on this podcast, and to all of you who continue to witness and walk this path with us.

Today, I welcome Kiana—a devoted woman, mother, and former student midwife (turned MMI graduate!) who chose to walk away from the captivity of the system and return to the wild. Living off-grid in a yurt she built with her own hands, Kiana shares the holy unfolding of her path to sovereignty.She speaks honestly about her three sovereign miscarriages—and the spiritual grit it took to keep saying yes to life. Follow Kiana on Instagram @curanderakiana

In this powerful episode, I'm joined by MatriBirth Mentor Institute student, Darrah, who shares her transformational journey—from working within the medical system as a nurse to reclaiming her autonomy as a freebirthing, wild, and instinct-led mother. After birthing her first two sons in hospitals, Darrah awakened to a deeper truth and radically shifted her path. Her story is one of courage, clarity, and coming home to herself—and it's sure to inspire birth workers and mothers alike.Follow Darrah @mamas.holistic.collective

I have Anna on the pod today telling the story of her two births with her wife by her side. Anna describes the complexity of navigating postpartum when her wife wanted to be included in the lactation process.

Brittany was diagnosed with brain tumors at the age of 20 and was told she'd never get pregnant and it was too dangerous to give birth. After seven years of failed IVF and surrogacy attempts, Brittany decided to try to get pregnant naturally, and to the surprise of all her doctors, she did. During her first birth and through the pregnancy of her second, Brittany started to reclaim her authority and trust in her own body. Brittany decided to have a sovereign birth with her third child and since then has begun untangling herself and her family from the medical system. Find Brittany on Instagram: @abitobritt

Emma spent her 20's as an anarchist who didn't want children, until one day she was hit with the primal need to become a mother.  Through shamanic drum journeys, she heard the messages of her ancestors telling her to freebirth, telling her that they had been waiting for a woman in their lineage to call upon their support.  Emma beautifully articulates her journey through her wild pregnancy, how she laughed her baby out, and had all her needs met in postpartum. ✨ Join REIGN ~ Emilee Saldaya's action-oriented coaching container that is guaranteed to elevate you into your next phase of life for 2025 - https://www.freebirthsociety.com/reign ✨Connect with Free Birth Society on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/freebirthsociety ✨Check out our best-selling course, The Complete Guide to Freebirth - https://www.freebirthsocietycourses.com/cgtf ✨Join us for our annual women's gathering  https://www.matriarchrisingfestival.com/ ✨ Join the waitlist for the Matribirth Midwifery Institute - https://www.freebirthsociety.com/mmiwaitlist ✨Get our FREE Freebirth starter kit here! - https://www.freebirthsociety.com/start-here ✨Are you a sovereign birth professional?

Today we are thrilled to be sharing our episode from the FIRST EVER LIVE SHOW from this past November in Austin, Texas. It was so fun to do this IRL and get to sit with my guest on stage, surrounded by so many amazing pod supporters. This is *not* a story to miss, check it out: An unwanted induction led Kait to a homebirth with a medical midwife for her second. In her third pregnancy, she felt ready to choose a wild pregnancy and freebirth. At 35 weeks, her birth unexpectedly began. Kait got freaked out by the amount of blood present in her birth and while her husband goes to get them ready to transfer, her daughter was born, weighing 3.5 lbs. While she waited for the placenta…her son was born. The healthy *surprise* twins quickly nursed and everyone stayed home. Kait tells the wild story of moving from surprise of twins to navigating loss of power as a hurricane pummeled Houston, Texas in the first days of her postpartum. ✨Check out our best-selling course, The Complete Guide to Freebirth - https://www.freebirthsocietycourses.com/cgtf ✨ Join the waitlist for the Matribirth Midwifery Institute - https://www.freebirthsociety.com/mmiwaitlist ✨Connect with Free Birth Society on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/freebirthsociety ✨Get our FREE Freebirth starter kit here! - https://www.freebirthsociety.com/start-here ✨Are you a sovereign birth professional?

Up in the mountains of the Big Island, Cadence freebirthed her daughter, learning to source from within. ✨Join Emilee Saldaya and the FBS Podcast *LIVE* in Austin, Texas 11/16/24!

Fathers - this episode is for you! I'll cover the most common questions and concerns I get from fathers and offer my wisdom on the logistics and energetics of how to be the best ally in her sovereign birth that you can be. The ability to educate mothers, fathers, and families on true sovereign birth is something we truly need more of in this world, which is why birth education is one of the core elements we teach on in our newest year-long program, The Matribirth Midwifery Institute.

Here's what you'll hear in this episode: ✨ The role of the birth partner and how to act from a space of respect and trust. ✨What normal birth is as well as some variations of normal. ✨The physiology of undisturbed birth. ✨Mothers don't *need* anything, but what she might *want* in the birth process. ✨What the phases of labor often look like, and how to offer support during each. ✨The birth of the placenta and immediate postpartum. ✨How to navigate the big “what if” question. ✨How to “Be the oak tree,” and protect her space. ⭐ Don't miss the MatriBirth Midwifery Institute, Enrollment is open NOW ⭐ Matriarch Rising Festival: Get your tickets NOW!

Listen to this episode HERE Matriarchy, if you couldn't already tell, is a very inspiring, intriguing, and critical topic that is incredibly important to me and all that I do. So, today on the show, we're going to talk about it! Dr. Jessica Spring Weappa has a PHD in matriarchal studies, presented at the first Matriarch Rising Festival, and is my guest on the podcast today to blow all our minds on exploring matriarchy! Can you imagine a society where mothers are centered, where the highest currency of all is a mother's love? A culture with no rape, no domestic violence, no fear of death, and where relationships aren't based in top down hierarchy? This is matriarchy and this rich conversation is full of concepts that are quite honestly very challenging for us living in our current patriarchal capitalist society. Jessica touches on gifting economies, nature as nourishment, and the spiritual commonalities that appear across the planet within matriarchal societies. Jessica has devoted her life's work to not only studying these concepts but also finding ways in which we can plug back into and rewild ourselves into centering mothers. She stresses the importance of creativity and imagination as key ingredients to creating matriarchy because none of us have been modeled what it is! We all must do the deep internal work and deprogramming to break the spell of patriarchy and find comfort, rather than fear in centering women and mothers. And of course, you know what I have to say next - if you want to dip your toe in, or dive headfirst, then you simply must come to my women only life changing gorgeous and sacred gathering, Matriarch Rising Festival. It will change your life, it will blast your heart open, and you will return home renewed and full of deep aliveness. Go to matriarchrisingfestival.com and grab your ticket, and I'll see you in June! Here's what you'll hear in this episode: ✨How Jessica couldn't look away from the questions she had about mothering today and what the future of mothering holds ✨Her own journey of domestic violence and being a single mother ✨Understanding matriarchy, through critiquing patriarchy ✨How insignificant fathers are within matriarchal societies that is sometimes unknown who a child's father is ✨Why our society has a knee jerk reaction of fear towards matriarchy ✨How capitalism is a perversion of a gift giving economy ✨How our current economy is dependent on the free labor of mothers ✨How our court system is rooted in matricide and takes no consideration of human development ✨How care ethics should be based off mother/child imprinting and how this informs Jessica's research and work ✨How essential creativity, and imagination is required for creating matriarchy in our modern lives ⭐ Matriarch Rising Festival: Get your tickets NOW! - https://www.matriarchrisingfestival.com ⭐ Don't miss the MatriBirth Midwifery Institute, Enrollment opens May 20th!!

Watch this episode HERE Today on the show I welcome one of my closest friends and favorite people, Julia. Julia lives here in community with us, and so I'm extra excited to have her on to share her story. Julia is a truly wild mother of 3, turns out - soon to be 4, a homesteader, a gorgeous and insanely talented homemaker, and really just the embodiment of strength, fortitude, and integrity. Can you tell I adore her? She has freebirthed twice, and the second time she *literally* labored right here on my land, the Matriarch Rising Festival grounds! How magical is that? Julia began her mothering journey quite young, having found her sweetheart at age 17. When Julia found herself unexpectedly pregnant she was already living outside mainstream culture and knew she didn't want to birth in the hospital. Sadly though, the medical midwife she hired found ways to create drama throughout her pregnancy and birth. A huge awakening, followed by a move from L.A. to North Carolina to figure out this homestead life, brought Julia's and my family together in organic friendship. It's all very cute, she invited me to be her birth attendant, our husbands met and fell in love, and the rest is herstory. Though she and her family have certainly faced challenges living this rural farm lifestyle, Julia consistently devotes herself to her family, community, and the fullness of her family's vision. Julia's two freebirths were very different experiences. The birth of her son although powerful and sweet, hit her very hard, so for the birth of her daughter she *chose* pleasure and presence. Julia's story is such a powerful reminder that we can make big choices in our lives and really manifest our dream reality. Come see the beautiful land Julia fell in love with too, at Matriarch Rising Festival this summer! Go to Matriarchrisingfestival.com to get your tickets today. Once you experience community here, you may just have to return home and create it for yourself! Julia will be leading the toddler yoga and mother meet ups at MRF, so come join in and say hi to my bestie. Here's what you'll hear in Julia's story: ✨How she loved being pregnant for the first time, but was constantly fear mongered by her medical midwife. ✨Her first drama filled first birth with a licensed midwife. ✨Covid in L.A. and her family's big leap relocating to North Carolina. ✨Homesteading while pregnant and the fast and really rocking freebirth of her son. ✨Rural living and her family's various moves to find their farm land here in WNC. ✨The intensity of the end of her pregnancy. ✨The fast but dreamy and pain-free freebirth of her daughter. ✨Her community supported postpartum. ✨Experiencing three generations of women at MRF. ⭐ Matriarch Rising Festival: Get your tickets NOW! - https://www.matriarchrisingfestival.com ⭐ Don't miss the MatriBirth Midwifery Institute, Enrollment opens May 20th!!

Watch this episode HERE Jalynn was aware that the medical system was dangerous for her, as a woman, and a black mother. Thankfully, her first birth was fairly straight forward. She left the birth center clear that she would not go back, not because it was traumatic, but because it simply wasn't worth leaving her house for. With her second, Jalynn stepped into full responsibility with a wild pregnancy and the freebirth of her dreams surrounded by sisterhood and support in a community ashram. She fully actualized her dream birth. We're talking about an epic birth space decorated by a dear sister, friends chanting and vocalizing with her during birth, live flute music, and plants infused with affirmations by Toni Jones herself. It was no fear, all flow, with Jalynn completely centered and held by her community, which transitioned into a brilliantly supported postpartum as well. Jaylnn goes on to fully integrate this huge uplevel and leave nursing school to pursue a truly holistic path, which is unfolding and gaining power as she does the work to shine her light and show women the way out of the system and into sovereign birth-work. Here's what you'll hear in Jalynn's Story: ✨Her weariness of the hospital, the racist roots of obstetrics, and the high maternal death rate of black moms. ✨Her desire to find a black woman to support her, but the difficulty she experienced finding midwives of any race to respect and honor her choices. ✨How her first birth sparked an insatiable desire to step into her authentic self. ✨The spiritual confirmation she experienced learning about freebirth and the dangers of ultrasound. ✨Her intuitive self care during her wild pregnancy. ✨Her magical birth surrounded by sisters and fully supported postpartum. ✨Choosing authentic birth education over certified nursing or doula work in the system. ⭐ Matriarch Rising Festival: Get your tickets NOW! - https://www.matriarchrisingfestival.com ⭐ Don't miss the MatriBirth Midwifery Institute, Enrollment opens May 20th!!

Watch this episode HERE We have a really inspiring episode today, as I welcome Zainab, from Saudi Arabia, now living in Michigan. Zainab is a brilliant maiden who has blazed a path of autonomy, teaching Fertility Awareness Method and body literacy to Arab women in her mother tongue of Arabic. Zainab grew up without initiation into her first bleed, and didn't even have a word to use for her vagina. She experienced intergenerational shame. Her awakening began when she discovered FAM along with a calling to share this knowledge with her sisters, particularly those in her home country, where she found women hungry to tune into their bodies and claim their freedom. Zainab came to Matriarch Rising Festival and experienced it as a touchpoint of what's possible when women in their power come together. She witnessed the centering of mothers, the normalization of freebirth and embodied womanhood, and, of course, the pure, delicious magic. She took these lessons home with her, forever changed. This year we're hyped to have Zainab back at MRF offering her workshop The Cycle Wisdom Map, an exploration of body literacy through the lens of the natural cycles around us. Come and experience the uplevel Zainab did! Go to matriarchrisingfestival.com to get your ticket. Join us sisters - it'll be the highlight of your year - and it may just change your life. Here's what you'll hear: ✨The body disconnection and shame she was taught as a young woman. ✨Her passion for FAM and joy of translating teachings into her mother tongue. ✨Her leap teaching in Arabic, and the incredible response from women ready to step into their power. ✨Teaching from the “daughter” stage of life. ✨The importance of centering mothers. ✨Cultural amnesia and how her grandmother birthed at home, yet her mother birthed in the hospital. ✨The life altering power of MRF and how it changed her. ⭐ Matriarch Rising Festival: Get your tickets NOW! - https://www.matriarchrisingfestival.com ⭐ Don't miss the MatriBirth Midwifery Institute, Join the waitlist and receive all the details late spring Connect with Free Birth Society

Watch this episode HERE This may be the most important episode of the season, so I'm glad you're tuning in this week. Today's story is from Mina, a freebirthing mother, and RBK graduate in Serbia. Though Mina dreamt of birthing at home, she knew of no other women around her making that choice, so she birthed her first two babies in a very old school, very dark hospital. Mina faced obstetric violence and abuse and did not want to return. And so she didn't. She freebirthed her third. When she found herself pregnant as a newly single mother, Mina of course chose freebirth again, for her breech baby, born at 44 weeks surrounded by her sweet children. Mina credits The Radical Birth Keeper School for her deep understanding of sisterhood, through which she has cultivated a blossoming community of women in her country also creating change. These women are choosing sovereign birth; they are stepping out of the system and into their full power, just as Mina did. Obviously Mina's choice to freebirth is huge, but I was struck by the real ripple effect that happens after a woman freebirths in her community, and then devotes herself to sovereign birth-work. Mina is truly changing birth culture in Serbia, and it's a really, really big deal. As Sister MorningStar says, “What one woman can do, all women can do.”. If Mina can do it, you can, too. There are just a few short days left to enroll in our only round of The Radical Birth Keeper School this year. Don't wait, your time is now. Join us, for The Radical Birth Keeper School Spring 2024 cohort. Wherever you are, there are women around you hungry for wise sisters to support them in their sovereign birth choices. Go to radicalbirthkeeperschool.com and become the lighthouse in your community. Here's what you'll hear in Mina's story: ✨Her first birth in the hospital and subsequent separation from her baby. ✨The sickening state of maternal care (or lack thereof) in Serbian hospitals. ✨How she tried to strategically use the hospital during her second birth, but still faced abuse. ✨The culture of silence and corruption surrounding homebirth and midwives in Serbia. ✨Her first freebirth and the powerful shift it initiated. ✨The mentorship, sisterhood, and profound growth she experienced in The RBK School. ✨How she chose a fourth pregnancy, single motherhood, and a true family supported freebirth. ✨The importance of finding like minded women and embodying the change in birth culture you wish to see. ⭐ Join the Radical Birth Keeper School!

Today on the show we have Savannah, a graduate of The Radical Birth Keeper School, and she's here to tell her big and important story of birth, single motherhood, loss, and claiming her freedom as a woman. Savannah's first birth resulted in heartbreaking, but so common, midwifery sabotage and betrayal, with a totally unnecessary transfer to the hospital. Many years later, Savannah re-partners, and finds herself pregnant again. Tragically, she lost that baby on her 40 week date. Savannah tells us the gutting story of birthing her stillborn son in the hospital. She shares how in her mourning, she was guided to this very podcast, and then to our Radical Birth Keeper School, where she found deep healing and support. In navigating her first birth outside the system and contending with fear, Savannah steps fully into her power and freebirths her next baby, just 11 months after the loss of her last baby. These are the kinds of real and difficult conversations we do not shy away from in The Radical Birth Keeper School. Birth work is death work. If you're ready to lean into the depth of this work, this is our last call for this year's session of The Radical Birth Keeper School.

Today I am joined by Arie, a Radical Birth Keeper School Grad who freebirthed her first baby after the school, supported by her partner and mother. Since RBK doors are open right now, we gotta highlight these epic women who experienced major transformation during and after the program! When Arie got pregnant she knew she would stay home. She didn't want to hire a professional, and *did* deeply want to have her mom there, despite the fact that they weren't on speaking terms. Arie consciously took steps to repair their relationship. In the end, her mother held perfect space, so much healing took place, and Arie freebirths a perfect little boy. Here's what you'll hear in Arie's story: ✨How Arie accepted her mother for who she is, set boundaries, and learned to be in healthy relationship ✨The freedom in dropping the story that having kids precludes doing all you want in life ✨The power of feeling emotions fully without attaching thoughts (especially in the huge experience of pregnancy). ✨The fears (and racism) propagated in the only doctor visit Arie attended ✨How Arie uninvited her sisters to her birth at the last minute and why this "no" was so clear to her ✨The importance of being internally resourced to flow with the intensity of pregnancy and birth ✨Why we women require witnessing, especially in postpartum Enjoy! ⭐ Join the Radical Birth Keeper School!
