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.”

Some are just with their partner.Today, senior writer Wendy Tuohy on why women are arguably risking their lives - and that of their baby - to engage in this increasingly popular practice, and the “birth influencers” encouraging them, some of whom have reportedly claimed to have more clinical skills than they do.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textWelcome to the October Q&A episode! We kick things off with a few confessions from our community (and one from us!) before diving into your thoughtful questions on pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.Today's questions include: Is it safe if you pee in the birth tub? How can you afford a home birth when money is tight? What does it mean to “push wrong” in labor, and how does the Ferguson reflex really work? We also discuss the fear of postpartum rage returning in a subsequent pregnancy, whether OBs should move out of the way so partners can catch the baby, and why so many providers still insist mothers push on their backs.We then cover laboring down and whether it increases risk, the truth about the “30-minute rule” for delivering the placenta, and how prenatal Pilates affects the pelvic floor. We also answer a listener's question on how to explain conception and birth to young children in a clear, age-appropriate way.Quickies this month: Can an OB tell if a baby is head down without an ultrasound? Do lip ties need correction? Which supplements actually help milk supply? Is estrogen cream useful postpartum? PT vs. chiropractor in pregnancy? Plus a few lighthearted ones, including our guilty pleasure shows, whether we wash our walls, and what we're currently reading.Call us anytime with your questions, comments, or stories at 802-GET-DOWN!********** Needed

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Emily.Emily is an author and mama of two under 2 from the Highlands of Scotland. She is known on social media as Prepping for Everything and has built an online following for sharing homesteading, prepping and motherhood.I started following Emily for her homesteading reels and Emily found The Natural Birth Podcast when she got pregnant with her first 3 years ago.And here we now are, full circle, as Emily comes to share her 2 birth stories.Her first being a planned home birth turning into a long prodromal affair ending in a non emergent hospital transfer where Emily's mama lioness was born. Her baby was born naturally, healthy, pink and screaming without the need of any interference from the hospital even though they tried their best.And her second redemptive, normal home birth with physiological plateaus that in hospital would have been classified as abnormal and a bigger postpartum bleed without the bells and whistles of the hospital.

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.

Lotus Bloom's Birth Story In this very special episode, Teresa recounts the homebirth of her 5th baby, Lotus Bloom. From the wild chaos in the days leading up to labour to a last-minute pivot (and then a re-pivot!) in her birth plans and then getting sick right before the big day (it was a faaar from smooth lead up!) She also recounts the long stretches of prodromal labour, the rituals and tools that carried her through contractions and the funny and unexpected moments along the way.  Tez also talks about getting into a super psychedelic state she as labour deepened, the profound joy of having all of her children present to witness their sister's arrival and the magical moment she discovered her baby was a she!!

It's a crossover you don't want to miss! In this special episode, Somewhere in the Skies teams up with Gods, Ghosts, and UFOs for a wide-ranging conversation on UFOs, cryptids, and the unexplained. From Ryan's dramatic black triangle UFO sighting as a kid, to the latest UAP Congressional Hearing and the controversial Hellfire missile video, we explore the mysteries that continue to challenge our understanding of reality. Along the way, we dive into folklore like the Squonk and the invented legend of the Bog Squatch, asking what happens when myths and mysteries blur together. At the heart of it all, we reflect on disclosure, witness testimony, and why sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is live with the mystery. ⏱️ Episode Timestamps 00:00 Intro & crossover setup03:07 Meet the hosts & Ryan Sprague04:30 Ryan's journey into UFO research06:13 The 1995 triangle UFO sighting10:34 Birth of Anomacon conference12:11 Cryptid spotlight: The Squonk19:51 Creating the Bog Squatch24:14 UAP hearing & Hellfire missile video32:56 The three orbs mystery34:59 Disclosure, defense & secrecy36:34 Witness testimonies & triangles40:15 Black triangles worldwide42:06 Why triangles want to be seen44:59 Triangles & abduction reports47:25 Ryan's father breaks his silence49:27 The human side of UFO encounters50:26 Coping with UFO uncertainty52:33 The illusion of government disclosure54:18 Personal disclosure & living in the mystery55:39 Why the journey matters most57:52 Closing reflections & outro Subscribe to Gods, Ghosts, and UFOs: https://open.spotify.com/show/2rng747nSCoPZtMnRtPRC8?si=6c5c97f2d7fb407d Please take a moment to rate and review us on Spotify and Apple.

What happens when cancer treatment becomes the greatest catalyst for sovereignty?In this episode, I speak with Jocelyn, a Tennessee mother who walked away from conventional medicine after surviving thyroid cancer and having her thyroid removed at 25 years old.That experience changed everything. Jocelyn made a vow: never again would she hand her body over to the system.

Targeted messaging wins: why “market to everybody = market to nobody” Plateaued growth? Check your vision, strategy, and team empowerment Episode 274 (Shay is based in Charlotte NC) In this conversation with Shay Prosser, we explore: why strategy must come before messaging how interviewing customers sharpens language that resonates the danger of “laundry list” offerings and what to say instead how clear targeting helps the right people self-select (and others opt out) how to set do/don't-do boundaries so teams deliver consistently a simple way to stop scope creep in service businesses what makes a business scalable beyond the owner how 90-day plans with simple metrics create real momentum why rebrands should serve a strategic purpose, not vanity how to refine vision so teams can actually execute ----- About our guest Shay Prosser: Shay is fractional chief Marketing and Strategy Officer. She is a founding member of the Birthing of Giants regional cohorts. She has lived in 10 states plus living abroad. Learn more about Shay and her services at: https://north12partners.com/ Connect with Shay: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shayprosser/ ----- Key Learning Points: strategy precedes messaging: define who you serve, the problem, and the words they use. talk to customers first: use their language to shape offers and copy. focus beats laundry lists: communicate the problem you solve, not 25 services. repel to attract: clear messages signal who is and isn't a fit. internal alignment matters: communicate what you do/don't do and set boundaries. fight scope creep: “today's exception is tomorrow's expectation.” services must match promises: align sales, delivery, and scope controls. build a scalable business: processes and people so the owner can step back. use 90-day plans + simple metrics: create momentum and visible wins. vision → strategy → execution: clarify the destination, then pick the route. rebrand with purpose: positioning, story, and team rollout—not just colors. smart change management: communicate the why, who's involved, and the plan. cross-industry practices help: fractional leaders transfer proven playbooks. empower the team: owners are often the bottleneck; promote leadership. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills. We'll examine the aspects of how we communicate one-to-one, one to few and one to many – plus that important conversation, one to self. In these interviews we will explore presentation skills, public speaking, conversation, persuasion, negotiation, sales conversations, marketing, team meetings, social media, branding, self talk and more.   Your host is George Torok George is a specialist in communication skills. Especially presentation. He's fascinated by the links between communication and influencing behaviors. He delivers training and coaching programs to help leaders and promising professionals deliver the intended message for greater success.

From false labor scares and not finding Cam's heartbeat to sleep training, breastmilk stashes, and granny panties... I'm taking you back to the raw, chaotic, beautiful early days of motherhood. I share what I had no clue about with my first newborn, the help I had with each baby, why I chose to be induced just so I wouldn't give birth alone, and what I would do differently if I had a baby today. From eczema and night nurses to co-sleeping and Jaxon crawling into my bed every night for four years, we talk about the exhaustion, the guilt, the joy, and the judgment (including mom shaming). I open up about losing my brother the same week I had Saylor, pushing myself way too hard, and all of the things that made those days feel long, even when the months flew by.

How deep can birth take you when you fully surrender to the mystery?In this episode, I sit down with Mimilia—mother of four and a recent graduate of our MatriBirth Mentor Institute. Her story is a breathtaking journey through four radically different births, each one deepening her trust, sharpening her discernment, and calling her closer to truth.We begin with her first birth: newly single, choosing freebirth in her homeland of Puerto Rico, and awakening to her own power in the most unexpected of settings. From there, Mimilia shares the simple beauty of freebirthing in a tipi in the Colorado mountains, before taking a surprising detour—hiring a licensed midwife for her third birth. But it's her fourth birth that brings it all home: the culmination of her path through sovereignty, surrender, and self-responsibility. This episode is a mirror, a medicine story, and an invitation to reflect on what birth reveals when we are ready to listen.Inside this episode:What it's like to leave a relationship mid-pregnancy and return to your homelandWhat it looks like to birth in a tipi—with a handmade altar and a bucket of waterWhy hiring a midwife for her third birth helped her understand what kind of birth keeper she would beHow birth exposed the subtle and chronic ways she'd been abandoning herselfWhat it takes to face birth without flinching—and let it break you openWhy having her children witness birth became a sacred part of the journeyHow MMI helped her embody her calling as a woman, a mother, and a birth keeperThis one is intimate, wild, and deeply instructive.
