Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have KiataKiata is a mama of 1 and currently 30 weeks pregnant from Tasmania Australia.She's a social worker who has worked with children and families for many years. Once she became a mother she found her passion for supporting families in parenting and she is now in the process of becoming an aware parenting instructor. For Kiata, trusting birth began long before labour. She grew up knowing home birth as normal as her own mother birthed her and her sister at home. So when it was her turn, it felt like returning to something familiar. Something ancestral.She laboured for 12 hours in water, at home, surrounded by the people she trusted most, her partner, her mother, her sister, and her midwives. That circle of trust held her steady. It allowed her to soften. To open and to surrender to the intensity of birth through fears and doubts.|She birthed her daughter at home in the birth pool surrounded by love and joy and after her baby was born her father also joined and they all soaked in the blissful birth bubble until the early hours of the morning, until her and her partner were tucked into bed with their daughter.The positive birth stories she listened to before her own birth strengthened her belief in herself. They helped her prepare. They helped her trust. And now she shares her story in the hope that it might do the same for someone else.Curious about Kiata?

In this episode of Stay Sparked, longtime friends and co-hosts John and Betsy turn the conversation inward, offering listeners a deep, intimate look at the creation of the Power Affirmation Journal and the years-long journey that brought it into the world.Rather than an interview, this episode unfolds as a reflective dialogue between collaborators—one that traces Betsy's evolution as a healer, creator, and guide, and the moment when a simple journaling practice transformed into a full system for reprogramming belief patterns and cultivating conscious change. Betsy shares how the journal arrived not just as an idea, but as something that felt alive—asking to be born—and how trust, accountability, ceremony, collaboration, and timing all shaped its development.Together, John and Betsy explore themes of creative conviction, imposter syndrome, discipline versus play, divine timing, and what it means to create in service rather than hustle. The conversation also dives into the structure and intention behind the journal and companion deck, touching on neuroplasticity, affirmation practices, gratitude, and how small, consistent inner shifts can reshape our lived experience.Woven throughout are stories of community support, ritual, sustainability, and the unexpected doors that opened when Betsy surrendered control and asked for help—ultimately leading the journal and deck into wider distribution and deeper impact.This episode is an invitation for creators, healers, and seekers alike to trust what's moving through them, honor the slow unfolding of meaningful work, and remember that transformation happens when intention meets mindful action.✨☕ This episode is sponsored by www.BecomeLucid.com Lucid is a functional mushroom and nootropic brand designed to fuel mental clarity, focus, and long-term brain health.

How do you support someone you love through the chaos of addiction without losing yourself in the process? Why have women been expected to give birth lying flat on their backs for centuries, and is there a better way? And, is a hysterectomy a “magic fix” for endometriosis? In this episode, we speak to Addiction Psychiatrist Dr Xavier Mulenga, to navigate the heartbreaking reality of supporting a loved one with an addiction. We discuss the thin line between helping and enabling, how to handle the inevitable cycle of relapse, and why setting firm boundaries isn’t the same as abandonment. Plus, in Med School, Claire and Dr Mariam look at the history of birthing positions; they discuss “vertical birthing rooms” and explore why gravity might be your best friend in the delivery room. And, in our Quick Consult, Dr Mariam answers Kara’s question about whether a hysterectomy is a potential avenue to end her debilitating 26-day periods. We break down the pros and cons of this major surgery, the reality of “surgical menopause” and explain why removing the uterus isn’t always a guaranteed cure for endometriosis.

Forgive the past, birth the new, and step boldly into untamed beginnings. Clear what no longer serves you and open space for what is yet to be. Guided by the Spirit of the Mother, the Adi Shakti, today's practice explores how forgiveness creates the conditions for new beginnings, allowing us to step into unoccupied spaces with clarity, presence, and intention.

During today's episode, Richard explained his compelling vision for a community built on intentional mutual benefit—a concept that resonates deeply with me.Richard's new book, Birthing the Symbiotic Age, is the culmination of over two decades of work, blending personal experience, community organizing, and a belief in the interconnectedness of humanity and nature. He challenges the idea that we are separate, saying, “We're actually all connected…within our families, neighborhoods, local communities, nations, and worldwide.”This intentional mutual benefit, as Richard describes it, is a culture where every action, thought, and decision considers its impact on others. It's about making connection a core value, from small personal interactions to global systems. Richard explained, “Symbiotic culture…is a culture in which intentional mutual benefit between human beings and with nature becomes the norm at all scales.”He draws from practical experience, sharing stories of community transformation. Richard recounted his involvement in initiatives like the Nevada Micro-Enterprise Initiative, which provided low-income entrepreneurs with seed funding, mentorship, and technical assistance. These efforts exemplify his belief that mutual benefit can underpin economic and social systems, creating a “virtuous economy.”This vision aligns beautifully with the principles of impact crowdfunding, where investors and entrepreneurs unite to create positive change. Richard's work shows how embedding intentional mutual benefit into our economy has the power to transform not only individual lives but entire communities.Richard's book, Birthing the Symbiotic Age, offers a roadmap for rebuilding our culture with love and connection at its heart. As he said, “When we engage the world, we are coming from that deeper connected perspective.”For those interested in this vision, Richard's book is available at richardflyer.com. By embracing his ideas, we can take steps toward realizing this symbiotic age together.tl;dr:Richard Flyer shares a 20-year journey to create a symbiotic culture of intentional mutual benefit.He explains how his book, Birthing the Symbiotic Age, challenges the myth of separation in society.Richard highlights community-building efforts, including crime reduction and micro-financing initiatives.He describes his superpower: recognizing the intrinsic divinity or goodness in every individual.Richard provides actionable advice for fostering connection and building a culture of mutual benefit.How to Develop Recognizing the Divinity in Others As a SuperpowerRichard's superpower is the ability to see the divinity—or intrinsic goodness—in everyone. He explained, “The superpower is to see the truth that we're all made in the image of God…underneath all of the apparent polarization.” This perspective allows him to bridge divides and unite communities, focusing on the shared humanity that connects us all. Richard emphasized that this principle applies universally, regardless of one's spiritual or secular beliefs, making it a powerful tool for fostering connection and collaboration.Richard shared a transformative story of overcoming his personal biases to unite his community. In Reno, Nevada, he recognized his antipathy toward religious organizations was limiting his ability to include them in community-building efforts. To address this, he spent a year visiting various religious and spiritual groups, from Christian churches to Buddhist sanghas. This experience helped him see individuals beyond their labels, fostering greater understanding and collaboration. This shift enabled him to unite diverse groups to address shared challenges.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Attend events hosted by organizations or people you may disagree with to foster understanding.Practice small, intentional acts of kindness, such as holding the door open for others.Consciously remind yourself of the shared humanity in everyone, even those with opposing views.Reflect on personal biases and take steps to overcome them for greater connection.By following Richard's example and advice, you can make recognizing the divinity in others a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

It integrates insights from community development, economics, spirituality and faith traditions, and living systems to help people move beyond polarization toward shared purpose and practical collaboration. Rather than advancing ideology or top-down solutions, Symbiotic Culture emphasizes connecting the good already present in local communities—linking people, initiatives, and institutions so they can work together more effectively through shared values and virtues such as trust, mutual responsibility, and care. The work holds that lasting social renewal is both practical and spiritual, beginning not with systems alone but with people learning how to live, work, and solve problems together in meaningful ways.Website: richardflyer.comBiographical Information: Richard Flyer is an author, community-builder, and faith-rooted cultural strategist whose life's work bridges science, spirituality, and civic renewal. Trained as a biologist, he studied pilot whale and dolphin communication at UC Santa Cruz and San Diego State before earning an M.S. in Biology. His grounding in living systems science later became the foundation for Symbiotic Culture—a framework that integrates spiritual insight with practical tools for regenerative community life.Richard's career spans health, education, and grassroots leadership. He pioneered hyperbaric oxygen therapy programs in Nevada hospitals, taught in community colleges and detention facilities, and led nonprofits including the San Diego Food Bank, Neighbors United, and the Nevada Microenterprise Initiative. Internationally, he served with Sri Lanka's Sarvodaya Shramadana movement, supporting a national network of over 5,000 communities. His work draws inspiration from Jesus and the early church, Gandhi's village republics, and Václav Benda's idea of the Parallel Polis.For Richard, following Jesus is not about dogma, but about daily practice—learning to embody love, reconciliation, hospitality, and neighborliness in a divided world. He sees in Jesus not only the center of his faith, but a bridge across traditions, calling people into deeper connection and shared responsibility.Today, through Symbiotic Culture, Richard mentors leaders across faith, civic, and cultural spheres. In Birthing the Symbiotic Age, he offers a vision for a Global Commonwealth of 50,000 empowered communities—a parallel society rooted in love, justice, and mutual flourishing. He lives on O‘ahu, Hawaii with his wife Marta, drawing renewal from the islands, time with family, and the simple joy of Connecting the Good wherever he goes.LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/richard-flyer-6820727Personal Twitter Handle: @Richard_Flyer Personal Facebook Profile: facebook.com/richard.flyerInstagram Handle: @richard.flyerSupport Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

In this episode, Kimberly speaks with Jane Hardwicke Collings, a post-menopausal grandmother, former midwife, and founder of the School of Shamanic Womancraft. They explore how the lessons learned from the natural childbirth movement must now be applied to menopause, discussing what Jane calls "sage-escence," the becoming of the wise woman. Jane shares her journey from hospital nurse to home birth midwife, how her midwifery awakened her to the patriarchy's medicalization of women's bodies, and why she sees a natural menopause movement emerging. They dive deep into the connections between all rites of passage, from menstruation to birth to menopause, and examine how unresolved trauma surfaces during these transitions. The conversation also explores sexuality and the erotic through life's seasons, the impact of childhood trauma on menopausal symptoms, body shame, aging, and the cultural pressure toward hormone therapy versus embracing natural processes. Bio Jane Hardwicke Collings is a post-menopausal grandmother, mother of a blended family with four adult children and four grandchildren. A former Registered Nurse who worked in Paediatric Intensive Care Units and Women's Operating Theatres, she became a midwife at 26 and left the hospital system so as not to be complicit with institutionalized acts of abuse and violence on women and babies masquerading as safety. She was a homebirth midwife for 30 years in city and rural areas of Australia. Jane carries the lineage of Shamanic Midwifery from her teacher Jeannine Parvati Baker and created the School of Shamanic Womancraft in 2009, an international Women's Mystery School. She travels internationally giving workshops on the wisdom of cycles, the spiritual practice of menstruation, sacred dimensions of pregnancy, birth, and menopause, and reclaiming women's rites of passage.

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Malou Malou is a mama of two from the Netherlands and the co-founder of Natural Heroes, which she runs together with her partner Nevil, the father of her two children. She is the head of R&D and a formulator, so her daily life is all about blending science, plant-based ingredients, and a very intuitive approach to wellbeing. That same blend of intuition and research shaped how she approached becoming a mother.She's had two vaginal births, but they couldn't have been more different. Her first birth was meant to be a natural, physiological experience at home, but it eventually became a medicated hospital birth. Looking back, that birth taught her a lot about her own good girl tendencies, about support, self-trust, and how things can unravel when the environment doesn't fully align with what you need. It was challenging and transformative in ways she only understood later.Her second birth, only 15 months later, was the complete opposite.. the most freeing, powerful, intuitive experience of her life. It unfolded in three hours and felt like a deep reclamation of everything that didn't go the way she hoped the first time. It was fast, intense, and profoundly healing. She moved through it with clarity and strength and it reshaped her entire relationship with birth and motherhood.That contrast, the rupture of the first birth and the liberation of the second, is what we talk about on the podcast today. Both births were rites of passages in their own way, and together they tell the story of how she's grown, healed, and stepped into motherhood.Curious about Malou?

Enjoy Jason talking about the lack of sleep and hectic life of becoming a dad. The Junks also can't tell if they're talking to Larry or his brother Gary Walker during a classic Bother the Pro segment.

Have you ever asked yourself, "Why am I here?" We all have, and this Sunday we begin our 6-week series based on the book Birthing a Greater Reality, by leaning into this question. Speaker: Rev. Russell Heiland

Black mothers are dying due to pregnancy-related causes at a higher rate than their white counterparts. Birthing advocates say that more than training is needed to decrease the disparity. Lora Gulley, Elena Jenkins and LaKisha Redditt discuss the effects of centuries of medical racism, childbirth alternatives like doula services and midwifery, and what work can be done to reduce pregnancy- and birth-related deaths.

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!

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

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.
