They're beloved kin to me, who are living, breathing testaments to the power of building skillful connections.We recently got together for a Care Chat, short mindful conversations where we discussed transitions in our lives, the importance of community, and the power of intentional living. I shared my personal journey of losing a job while finding relief and growth through the process. TanyaMarck discussed the experience of navigating deep grief as they lost family members and the healing power of creative practices. Nick reflected on the importance of boundaries and how he recently re-committed to an art practice.

It's Christmas, and we're celebrating the birth of Jesus, so it's the perfect time to think about his mother, Mary. While she is omnipresent in Christianity - especially in Christian art - we know very little about her. This is why I was very excited to learn more about, and from, her through my guest, Dr. Christine Valters Paintner. Christine is the author of Birthing the Holy: Wisdom from Mary to Nurture Creativity and Renewal. She has a PhD in Christian spirituality, is an abbess, and is the author of more than twenty books on spirituality. Christine tells us about her American mother, Susan, a United Nations employee who struggled with rheumatoid arthritis but transformed her suffering into a gift for others when she earned an MA in social studies to become an advocate for people with disabilities. Susan teaches us to empower others - to not see ourselves as victims, but to use our challenges to help those around us - and to embrace the power that comes with older age. In the second part of the episode, we talk about Mary and her lessons: to show up in the world, to accept the calling to create the holy, to embrace the power of the sacred feminine (intuition, creativity, dreams, and gestation), and to be a loving and present witness in both birth and death, in the positive and the negative. Christine also shares an important lesson for many women: that we are not responsible for everything, and that sometimes we, too, need to be taken care of. Finally, she speaks about healing our ancestors by healing ourselves. I invite you to reflect on Mary, her presence, and what she represents to you during these holidays. And I wish you, dear listeners, blessed holidays and a happy 2026.

In this final episode of 2025, Meghan reflects on her four-year journey through second coming prophecy, symbolism, and the rediscovery of the Divine Feminine. What began as a study of last-days events has evolved into a deeper realization: Zion's redemption and the rise of the Divine Feminine are inseparable.Drawing from LDS canon, apocryphal texts like The Gospel of the Beloved Companion, ancient traditions, temple symbolism, and universal archetypes, Meghan shows how the feminine principles of intuition, relationship, heart-centered wisdom, and spiritual authority have always been woven into prophecy.She explores Mary Magdalene as “the tower,” Zion as the bride, the birthing symbolism of the new heaven and new earth, and the ways masculine and feminine partnership create the spiritual maturity required for Christ's return.This episode dives deep into: • the parable of the tower • the true meaning of Magdalene • the feminine role in death, rebirth, and the millennium • Zion as a feminine state of being • the partnership of masculine and feminine energies • global prophetic traditions pointing to feminine renewalA powerful close to the year and an invitation to reclaim the feminine in your own spiritual path.Timestamps00:00–02:00 | Closing the year and reflecting on the podcast journey 02:00–05:00 | Moving from prophecy study into the Divine Feminine 05:00–07:00 | Asking deep spiritual questions before you're ready 07:00–12:00 | Parable of the Tower and its prophetic meaning 12:00–15:00 | Magdalene as “the tower” and her true identity 15:00–18:30 | The tower as feminine presence and spiritual being 18:30–23:00 | Two feminine archetypes: virgin and fallen daughter 23:00–25:00 | Feminine principles as prerequisites for Zion 25:00–30:00 | Zion, Jerusalem, and the Bride symbolism 30:00–33:00 | Birthing the new heaven and new earth 33:00–39:00 | Isaiah's five birth metaphors 39:00–43:00 | Zion as unified heart and mind 43:00–50:00 | Global traditions confirming the feminine archetype 50:00–56:00 | How to rebuild the tower within ourselves 56:00–60:00 | Zion as a state of being and the return of Enoch 60:00–End | Closing reflection and blessing for the new year Thank you for listening to Hidden Wisdom!

Back in action on a Monday morning and today we talked about a very bad beat that Barstool's Dave Portnoy and anyone else on the Broncos suffered. A woman made quite a splash while thrifting, a kid went viral for his shower song, and we discovered a guy who adds sax to songs. Speaking of songs, we did our best to make "6-7" as uncool as possible, and we hit the phones to see if people would ever watch video of themselves being born!

In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker explores the research on birthing positions and tried-and-true midwifery practices for protecting the perineum during childbirth. She explains why the flat-on-your-back position we often see on television isn't ideal and walks through the key differences between upright, sacrum-flexible positions, and common hospital practices like lithotomy and routine episiotomies.   Dr. Dekker reviews data from global research as well as real-world wisdom from midwives, including the extraordinary outcomes of hands-off, undisturbed birth approaches in the Philippines. She uncovers how hospital system pressures, caregiver convenience, and even obstetric violence drive the overwhelming use of recumbent positions and invasive interventions while sidelining evidence-based, patient-centered care. You'll hear firsthand strategies for minimizing severe tears, promoting intact perineums, and advocating for birth plans that prioritize the autonomy and comfort of birthing people.   Content Warning: Discussion of tears of the vagina, severe tears from the vagina to the rectum, obstetric violence related to episiotomies, and being forced giving birth on your back.   Resources For a full list of resources, visit: ebbirth.com/221 Watch the video version here on our YouTube channel which includes study breakdowns and PowerPoint slides.

In this episode I sit down with Brittney Michelle - wild pregnancy, sovereign birthing mama and the woman behind Woman Be Wild. Brittney shares the seven-year initiation that carried her from religious conditioning and “good girl” programming into a fully embodied, earth-rooted woman - and the magical 9 months she spent with her Mother, before the Father of her child walked into her life!We trace the moments that cracked her open: the vow she made to her bloodline, the near-death experience and the slow reclamation of her body, her language and her direct relationship with Spirit.Brittany takes us inside the bones of Woman Be Wild and why this fifth edition feels like the book finally “arrived.” She speaks to writing from a woman who has walked through the underworld, held the line through 2020 and birthed her baby in total sovereignty.We explore the “dead template” - the chain of cultural, religious, medical and political systems that bind women to a lifeless script, and what it means to consciously step outside of it so that real life, real birth and real motherhood can move through.We also weave the story of how our paths crossed – the invisible soul-network that connected us across countries. And the women scattered across the globe that are holding the same knowing - being the bridges between the system and the sovereign, the dead grid and the living earth.This conversation is for the woman who feels the deadness of the old systems, who has held the line with family, medicine, or culture - and who knows somewhere deep in her bones, that she is here to write her own program, birth her own way, remember herself – wildly, wholly, and free.'Woman Be Wild; The Redprint of the Feminine' can be pre-ordered at @8rittneymichelle or at @womanbewild

We know that black maternal health is a huge issue in the United States. But to see real-life videos that went viral in November 2025 on 2 black women literally about to give birth being carelessly dismissed by medical personnel makes this important issue undeniable and palpable. In this episode, we passionately talk about the struggles that black birthing moms face, how medical personnel need to address and take care of birthing moms, potential ways of addressing this problem in tangible ways, and sharing our fury and compassion on this issue that needs to be acknowledged and seriously addressed. I am joined with my co-host and good friend, Touseef Mirza.

This week, Tez and Sarah sit down with one of Tez's Byron Bay gal pals, the luminous Laura May; mama and founder/creative director of the beloved brand Nagata. Laura shares how she worked with the universe to call in the divine timing of her daughter's conception, what her first pregnancy was like, and the wild ride that was her maiden birth. From a planned homebirth that became a transfer to navigating a long, stop/start posterior labour, Laura opens up about how she anchored herself in acceptance, surrender, and trust as her birth plan shifted. We dive into the few day marathon, the mystical moments, the messy bits, and the transformation that unfolds when a woman meets her edge. It's raw, magical, and deeply relatable, a story for anyone who's ever birthed a baby, birthed themselves, or surrendered to a timeline bigger than their own.

Episode: 2018 The Chamberlen family secret: the invention of forceps.  Today, guest historian Cathy Patterson reveals family secrets.

“Entrepreneurship is scary as well as compelling in a weird way.” – Shay Prosser That's the quiet admission of someone who's lived the tension of building something that matters—between fear & purpose, risk & reward—and kept moving anyway. Shay started in chaos: a newborn on the floor, the economy unraveling, & a business idea that couldn't wait for permission. It wasn't perfect timing; it was purpose knocking early. When her one-to-one financial coaching couldn't reach enough people, she rebuilt the model—bringing financial education into workplaces & later onto military bases with the USO. That pivot became her pattern: find the gap, build the bridge. So when business owners began coming to her not just for answers but for direction, she created spaces to think differently—to set bold goals, make smart moves, & scale with clarity, courage, & connection. Today, she helps business owners do what she's always done—move forward, even when the path isn't clear. Not with ten-year dreams, but ninety-day wins. Progress, not perfection. Because growth doesn't come from having it all together—it comes from showing up anyway. To learn more, connect with her through North 12 Partners or Birthing of Giants. Shay reminds us what Amelia Earhart said best: “The most effective way to do it is to do it.”

What happens when you choose a normal birth with twins?In this episode, I speak with Nicole, a mother from South Africa now living in the U.S., who chose sovereignty in one of the most medicalized and “high-risk” experiences imaginable: an identical twin pregnancy. From the very beginning, she was met with fear-based narratives—warnings of stillbirth, premature labor, and twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. But after enduring traumatic experiences in hospitals and with midwives, Nicole knew she would not birth her twins within the system.Instead, she underwent a profound process of deconditioning and committed to trusting her body. With the steady support of her husband, a Radical Birth Keeper graduate, and a community of women walking this same path, Nicole carried her twins to 40 weeks and welcomed them at home, in embodied sovereignty.Nicole shares the raw reality of holding responsibility for twins outside the system: the constant conversations about risk, the deep conviction it took to turn away completely, and the profound freedom of reclaiming birth on her own terms.Inside this episode:What Nicole witnessed in the hospital that made her vow never to returnHow she carried her twins to full term, trusting her body's wisdomThe support she found in a community of sovereign mothersWhat labor with twins looked like at homeThe double standard of blame when outcomes differ at home versus in the hospitalThe freedom and healing that come with birthing twins in sovereigntyTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[02:59] Two miscarriages and lack of support and answers from the medical system[07:05] Receiving news of a third unviable pregnancy and deciding not to take the pill[09:02] Discovering that the medical system was wrong about her third pregnancy, and that her baby was alive and healthy in her womb[11:19] Birthing her first son in a birthing center with a midwife, forced interventions, a fourth degree tear, and newborn separation[21:36] Postpartum hospital trauma, overreactions and threats[25:15] Another miscarriage and humiliating hospital treatment[32:13] Finding out she was pregnant with twins, midwife refusing to provide care, and choosing freebirth[1:00:00] Freebirthing her twins at home with her husband and birth attendant presentIf you want to connect more with Nicole, follow her on Instagram.Find more from Emilee on Instagram, YouTube and the Free Birth Society website.Disclaimer: Free Birth Society, LLC of North Carolina shares personal and educational stories and experiences related to freebirth and holistic care.
