Podcasts about free birth podcast

Today on Venus Rising we have the opportunity to shine the spotlight on our founder and president, Jennifer Lahl. A few weeks ago, the wonderful women at The Free Birth Society invited Jennifer to speak on an episode of their show, The Free Birth Podcast. Jennifer sat down with Emilee Saldaya to discuss several different topics including the launch of the CBC, the deeply concerning language in surrogacy contracts, and the challenges she has faced as she tries to protect women. Emilee faced her own criticism when she put together a three-part series on surrogacy and she opens up about that as well. We are grateful for the generosity of the Free Birth Society in allowing us to bring this episode to our listeners at Venus Rising.

Birth has been systemically taken from us by the powers that be, but each birthing body holds deep knowledge of how to bring forth life. This conversation is part of a much larger cultural remembering of what our ancestors instinctively knew about giving birth and nurturing our babies. IN THE INTRO: If we're not changing our minds, we're not growing Mammalian birth [mama & mammal & mammary are etymologically related, and there's a reason for that] How the Taoist medicine perspective of how energy moves through the female body explains why everyone wants to be around women  IN THE INTERVIEW: How Emilee’s radical teenage years led to her work now. Supporting mother’s instincts so that the mother-baby conversation can happen. Birth story: Dolphins(!), their potent medicine, and telepathic connection to birth (I cry). The spectrum of birth experience from beautiful and respectful, to dark and scary. How Emilee’s first hospital birth helped align her with her dharma. Our special likeness to all mammals through hormonal sequencing and our need to birth in a safe, familiar space (the choice of birth location changes the hormones flowing through the body during birth). Ultrasound technology safety and what affects our choices to use it. We are culturally trained to fear birth, and be terrified of death. How Patriarchy & Christianity disempowered birthing women. Fear- allying ourselves with it, rather than struggling to “overcome” it. Holding space for all individual birth experiences while still rejecting The System. Surrogacy, the primal wound, the commodification of bodies, and our bodily sovereignty as women. Staying open and nuanced in complex conversations. Meeting your divinity through birth, and the sacred spirituality of pregnancy. We birth the way we live. We are all descendants of women who birthed at home (like 99.999999999% of our female ancestors). Birth is in our bones. Creating a matriarchal household/family. A freebirth is a birth unhindered, undisturbed, in the support of loved ones, and outside the system that oppresses women and especially women of color. When we align with truth, in our power, we are unshakable. LINKS: Emilee’s websites: Free Birth Society, Free Birth Podcast, my interview Matrilineal Love Medicine Stories Patreon (podcast bonuses!)
