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.

Kriti and Ashish left behind a city life to build a farm and live in a remote village - all because it meant a slower life of connection. "We would not have had a baby had we been in the city", Kriti says and then goes on to share how living with nature, they started craving to have a third energy in her own words in the world around them.In this episode, Kriti also shares how the collective women echoed a sense of strength in birth but when she went the regular route of going to a doctor, they were always reminded to be cautious , not joyous.

What happens when you see behind the curtain of labor and delivery?In this episode, I speak with Rylee, a young mother who chose to freebirth her first child after working inside the hospital system. From the vantage point of the “business of birth,” Rylee began to question everything she thought she knew about pregnancy. That unraveling brought her face-to-face with the deep dissonance between what she was told was “right” and what her body knew was true.Carrying that knowing into her own pregnancy, she made the radical choice to step away from the system entirely. Rylee shares what it was like to work as a self-described “fearmongering phlebotomist,” to quit, and then to bring her baby earthside in her own power.Her story is one of unlearning, reclaiming, and discovering the strength that emerges when a woman finally trusts herself.What You'll Hear:Why Rylee walked away from working in a hospitalWhat it feels like to stand up to doctors and refuse routine proceduresThe hidden link between hospital “convenience” and high C-section ratesWhy even trusted OBs and familiar clinics can still feel wrongHow she found her rhythm and delivered her baby in a birth pool at homeThe joy of her birth: laughing while pushing, with her mother and husband as witnessesTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[09:03] Starting to question the hospital method and learning about freebirth[15:45] Climbing out of the system and trusting her instincts[19:57] Defying the doctors and reclaiming her sovereignty[28:15] Realizing that the hospital is a business[36:37] Choosing who she wanted at her freebirth[38:14] The psychedelic moment before labor began[45:40] Moving into the second day of labour, feeling tired, and calling her Mom[48:47] Exhausted, in a trance, and roaring through the portal of labor[51:32] Finding her rhythm and bringing her baby earth side in the pool[58:19] Getting out of the pool, the first cuddles, and delivering the placentaIf you want to connect more with Rylee, follow her on Instagram.Watch Rylee's birth video here.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.

Send us a textDr. Galena Rhoades, coauthor of Fighting For Your Marriage, returns to From the Green Notebook to talk with Joe about the strain that deployments, training, and time apart place on military marriages—and how couples can stay connected through it.Drawing on years of research and her work helping couples strengthen relationships, Galena explains why separation creates unique challenges, how communication often falls into “just logistics,” and what it takes to keep connection alive across distance. Together, she and Joe unpack lessons that every military family can use—lessons Joe wishes he had known during the nearly five years he spent away from home over his career.In this episode, Joe and Galena explore:How to keep communication from becoming only about schedules and logisticsWhy friendship talk, support talk, and even conflict talk are essential during separationThe “alternate universe” of deployment, and how to bridge that gap with your partner at homeThe emotional boundaries that can erode if couples aren't intentional about protecting themWhy reintegration isn't about picking up where you left off, but about building a new relationship on the same foundationWhether you're facing your first deployment or your fifth, these insights will help you and your partner navigate the hard parts of separation and come back together with greater strength and understanding.Galena K. Rhoades, Ph.D., is a research professor and the director of the Institute for Relationship Science in the Department of Psychology at the University of Denver.

I talk about leaving behind yoga spaces steeped in clean eating and labour extraction, the fallout I faced for standing by public health, and why naturopaths need better tools for supporting eating disorders, chronic dieting, and neurodivergence. We explore:What really happened at the ecovillage I used to call homeThe rise of culty thinking in natural health spacesThe dangers of misinformation and why critical thinking matters now more than everWhy naturopaths need better tools to support clients with eating disorders and chronic dietingBuilding a different path forward, with more earth, honesty, and neuroaffirming care.You'll also hear about my upcoming online course, Disordered Eating for Naturopaths, launching mid-2026.

Because Somebody Prayed1 John 5:14–15 “And this is the boldness we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have obtained the requests made of him.”I love this verse because God is reminding us that we can trust Him. He reminds us that if we ask anything according to his will, He hears us, and if we know that he hears us, then we know we have obtained the request made of him. I don't know about you, but I can get caught up in the part that says, according to his will. I have asked the Lord for many things, and I don't think that he has given them to me. I get frustrated when I am praying for someone, and I remember that God said if we ask in Jesus' name, then anything we ask for will be given to us.I know that God's ways are higher than our ways and his thoughts greater than our thoughts, and yet it is still frustrating when we can't understand what is going on. It is frustrating when we think we know exactly what we need or what we want and we ask the Lord, we beg the Lord and it just seems like He is not listening. If you have struggled with this, let me share with you what has helped me understand it a little better.Have your kids, your nieces/nephews, or your friends' kids ever asked for something that seemed really important to them? They asked for something that they really want, and to them, it is something that they have to have. They have given it thought, and they know it is the best thing for them. Yet, you know it is not good for them at all. You only know this because you have been where they are and things didn't end well. You have seen where this thing will take them, and it isn't anywhere good.For instance, your child, or a child you are close to, wants to drop out of school. They have given it thought, and they will get a job at the local grocery store or fast food restaurant. They are tired of all the work they need to do at school and don't want to do it anymore. However, you can see that it is not the best choice for them. You can see how that one choice will limit so many other choices about their future. They are begging you to let them drop out, and yet you know it is not really best for them.This is what I think of when I think of God answering our prayers. Good thing He doesn't give us everything we ask for because sometimes, just like our kids, we ask for some things that are not good for us. We ask for things that we think we want, but God knows we don't really want them. For instance, we might think we want a new job, but then we find out the new job has a lot of travel, or the boss isn't a nice person. God shields us from so many things that we aren't even aware of because he is shielding us from them. He does this because He is a good Father.I heard a song on the way to adoration his morning, and you know how much I love songs. I wanted to share the lyrics of this one with you today because it talks about how important prayer is. The song is titled “Somebody Prayed,” and it is sung by Crowder. The song begins:Every night there by your bedYou fold your hands and bow your headThrowing out another prayer in faithWhen you're wondering if He's hearing youLook at me, I'm living proofI'm only right where I am todayBecause somebody prayedThese lyrics remind us that when we pray and do not see results, we can look at those around us and be confident that if God answers their prayers, He will answer ours, too. I think it is vital to remember that the answers to our prayers may not look like we want them to and may not come in the timing we want them to. I like how Crowder can realize that the reason he is where he is today is because his mom prayed for him a lot. So I hit my knees 'cause I'veSeen all Heaven move (don't matter if you hit rock bottomMy God pick you up when you call Him.)I pray, "Father, please" 'cause I'veSeen what He can do (don't matter if the storm cloud comingMy God come through when you call Him)I love this verse too because it says that it doesn't matter if you hit rock bottom because God will pick you up when you call Him. This reminds us that we are never too far down for God to pick us back up again. It also says it doesn't matter if the storm cloud is coming because God will come through when we call Him. Crowder says he has seen all heaven move, and he has seen what our heavenly Father can do.You might be in a storm right now, or you might be at your lowest point yet. Either way, you can rest assured that when you call on the Lord, He is going to answer that call. He is going to lift you up out of that pit or get you safely through that storm. That is just who He is. If you wonder if this is true, look around you at all the people you know who are struggling, or the ones who were struggling and have made it through to the other side. They were not alone. God helped them, and if he helped them, he can help you too!These hands have no powerThere ain't an hour He don't come throughThat's why when mountains move, I say"Looks like somebody prayed”This verse is reminding us that we can do nothing without God. He is our source of power. He is our Savior. This is why, when something amazing happens in our lives, we should automatically know that someone was praying for us. Our default should be to thank God and to thank whoever was praying for us. Sometimes we think that because we didn't pray, then it wasn't God who helped us. However, there are so many people praying all the time. There were many saints who would send up prayers for anyone who needed them. Or they would pray for those who had no one else to pray for them. You might have a whole army of people praying for you, and yet you might not even know it.For instance, when someone asks me for prayer I usually ask my parents to also pray for them because I know my parents are mighty prayer warriors. I also ask my prayer group to pray, my Encounter Ministry fellow students, and the prayer line at my church. Then sometimes I would also add their request to these three online prayer requests websites, one of which is the Lourdes website. Do you see how someone could have a whole army of people praying for them and not even know it?For the child of God that's far from homeThe one who thinks they're too far goneI'm throwing out another prayer in faith (prayer in faith)Worn-out altars, tear-stained pewsStill I won't give up on youI believe that anything can changeWhen somebody praysI love this verse because he is talking to anyone who feels like they are far from home. Anyone who feels like they are too far gone. Then he tells them that he is praying for them. We all need to be praying for those who are far from home and think they are too far gone. There is no too far gone with the Lord. He is always willing to take us back. He is always waiting for us to realize that and to come home. I love it when he says he won't give up on us because he believes that anything can change when somebody prays.This is an important thing for us all to believe. It is so true. Anything can change when somebody prays. The enemy often tries to make us believe that our situation is too bad and that there is no solution. He tries to convince us that we don't need to pray because there isn't anything God can do for anyone. There isn't anything anyone can do. This is ridiculous! God can do anything! We might not see a way out, we might not think things can get better, but God can always make a way, even when we can't see how. It is always worth it to say a prayer. It can make all the difference in the world. Sometimes God is just waiting for you to ask. He is waiting for you to invite Him into it all. Why wouldn't we want God to be in all of it?I've seen miracles come from feeble wordsI've seen hospital rooms turned into cathedralsI've seen freedom come to the prisonerYou can't tell me that prayer don't workThe first line says, “I've seen miracles come from feeble words.” Do you know why I love this? I love it because it reminds us that we don't have to know what to say. We don't have to pray these long, eloquent prayers. We don't have to ask for the exact thing or say the exact right words in order for our prayers to be answered. It's not like in all those movies about making a wish on a genie in a bottle. If you don't get the wording perfectly, then something bad happens. God is not like that. We don't have to know the perfect thing to say. We just have to call upon his name and ask him for what we want.It goes on to say, “I've seen hospital rooms turned into cathedrals.” I think what he means by this is that hospital rooms can be a powerful place for prayer. Sitting by a loved one's bedside can prompt people to pray more. It can also help us to be bold and ask for more from the Lord. Desperation to save our loved ones can be a powerful motivator. He also says, I've seen freedom come to the prisoner. This is another great result of prayer. You might know someone who is stuck in their past. They may be an actual prisoner in jail, or they may be a prisoner to guilt, shame, and unforgiveness. Either way, prayers can free them from their prison. I have seen it happen many times!!The song ends with:So every night there by your bedWhen you fold your hands and bow your headNot a single word you've ever said in vain'Cause He hears everythingI like this verse too because it reminds us that not a single word you've ever said is in vain. When we pray to God, He hears us. We can be confident in this, just as the scripture verse for today reminds us. God hears it all, whether you are in church praying or you are crying out to him in your car. Wherever you are, no matter how far gone you think you are, He always hears every word of it, and none of it was said in vain. He hears you and He will answer your prayers according to his will and according to His timing.Dear Heavenly Father, I ask you to bless all those listening today. Lord, we love you, and we want to bring all of our requests to you now. Lord, we ask that you give us some understanding of your ways and why our prayers appear not to have been answered for so long. Help us be patient, Lord. Help us to keep coming back and asking the Lord. Help us to see where in our lives you have answered prayers. We love you Lord and we are so grateful for all you do for us. We are sorry if we take you for granted. We ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus's holy name, Amen!Thank you so much for joining me on this journey to walk boldly with Jesus. I look forward to meeting you here again tomorrow. Remember, Jesus loves you just as you are, and so do I. Have a blessed day!Today's Word from the Lord was received in October 2024 by a member of my Catholic Charismatic Prayer Group.

We're about to enter a period of opportunity to have a lot of influence over our Members of Congress. They'll be home in their districts/states twice in the next seven weeks for “district work periods” to connect with their constituents. You should expect to be seeing quite a bit of them in late April and then again in late May. These district work periods represent a significant opportunity for nonprofit leaders to engage substantially with your Members of Congress, and to drive home the absolutely critical messages around the impact that the administration's actions are having right now, at home in the district, in the state, on their constituents' lives. It's also an opportunity to tell our Members of Congress what we expect to do about that! It's a great time to be communicating with them about both pieces at once. And there's no better place to do that than at home, on the ground, where there's an opportunity for them to see the actual impact for themselves. And we as nonprofit leaders have a key role to play in helping them make that connection.In this episode, we share:Exact timing of the next two district work periods for Congress (House and Senate)The two most valuable strategies for engaging Members of Congress while they're back homeThe three different types of town halls and how to make the best strategic use of each of themSpecific messaging strategies that work best for town hallsHow to get on your Member of Congress' schedule to visit your program while they're homeThe key elements of a high-impact program visitHow design a program visit that deeply engages your Member of Congress As you participate in town halls and bring Members of Congress to your program for high-impact engagement, I would love to hear how that's worked out for you, and what kinds of key messages you were able to drive home using each of those two strategies. And if you've got a story you're particularly proud of, I'd love to have you on the show so we can amplify that and help other nonprofit leaders see how leaders are leveraging these opportunities to really make a huge impact!Reach out to me on the podcast website or on LinkedIn and share your wins!Links:Episode 31: How to Get Maximum Results from a Decisionmaker's Visit to Your ProgramMoveon.orgIndivisible.org
Have Your Loved Ones Turned Their Backs on God? Do What Élisabeth Leseur Did, National Catholic Register, By Katya Fitzpatrick, May 3, 2023 https://www.ncregister.com/blog/how-to-love-nonbelievers-in-your-homeThe conversation begins with a reflection on an article from the National Catholic Register about the story of Felix and Elizabeth Lassier, emphasizing sacrificial love and divine providence. The narrative is critiqued for its predictable trope of a devout woman and a skeptical man whose conversion comes after her death, portraying her suffering and prayers as transformative. The discussion shifts to the article's placement on a Catholic website and its tone of victimization despite promoting acceptance.Personal experiences are shared, highlighting the pressure to convert loved ones to match religious beliefs, which evolved into acceptance of differing views over time. The article is criticized for perpetuating submissive stereotypes of women and guilt-driven narratives common in Catholic teachings. The conversation delves into the manipulative language used in such articles, aiming to evoke emotional responses and reinforce traditional gender roles.As the discussion concludes, the panelists advocate for private religious beliefs and the importance of critical dialogue about societal issues. They invite feedback from viewers on their platforms and stress the need for awareness and engagement with current events.The Non-Prophets, Episode 22.20 airing Sunday, May 21, 2023 featuring Kelley Laughlin, Timothy Bethel, Cindy Plaza and Jason Friedman.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.
In this solo episode, I'm sharing a powerful reflection that hit me unexpectedly after receiving an offer to buy one of my past businesses — a business I had built, succeeded in, and lovingly put down to follow my soul's work.While revisiting old offerings, I was reminded of something huge: ✨ The only reason any of it existed — the income, the impact, the legacy — is because I had the courage to act.This episode is a love letter (and a wake-up call) to the women sitting on their ideas, waiting to feel ready, and wondering why they're stuck. I dive into:Why action is the only portal to momentum and growthThe real reason some offerings succeed and some don't (and why that's okay)How inaction leads to your ideas finding a new homeThe link between business, personal growth, and deep impactThe difference between thinking and quantum leapingIf you've been circling your next move, craving alignment, or holding yourself back from being seen — this is the pep talk your soul needs.Your ideas chose you.

And, there are some things that only Jesus can heal.Episode Links:Trump Funding Freeze Sows Chaos as Democrats Vow to Challenge It in CourtThis sounds like the Simple Sabotage Field Manual: A Timeless Guide to Subverting Any Organization with “Purposeful Stupidity” (1944). These techniques were taken from the OSS (Office of Strategic Services) manual for sabotage at the workplace, originally published in 1944. The OSS was the predecessor to today's CIA. President Trump signed an executive order yesterday mandating that federal workers need to show up in person for work. Currently, 94% of federal employees work from home. Many of our government headquarters are empty.“Trump Impedes Federal Workforce”; I am spending a few days in DC (not for the Inauguration, we came into town when everyone else was leaving). At breakfast this morning, this headline in the Metro section of the Washington Post caught my eye: “Trump is impeding federal workforce's ability to operate.” - John Hinderaker, Powerline BlogSCOTT BESSENT: The December 8th hack by Chinese entities into the Treasury Department was through a work-from-home software app. In the Trump administration, we'll be IN THE OFFICE.This DC bureaucrat is outraged she's gone to have to go in to work every day. She's deeply concerned for all the parents who now have to figure out child care! In reality, these people have been collecting fat salaries since Covid while chilling at homeThe best part about this is how pleased Margaret Brennan looks with herself when she thinks she's stumped Vance, and how you can almost hear her disappointment when he immediately dismantles her party's talking points Incredible. A journalist on Al-Jazeera says, verbatim, that "Mexico cannot cope with a sudden influx of millions of people." She adds "I'm not sure any country can." The entire world dumped millions of people it didn't want into the US: Their criminals, their gangsters, their predators, and their welfare cases. Now, they're in a panic that America is saying "no more."Air Traffic Control at Reagan National27-Year-Old Man Break Down In Tears After Realizing He's The Only Person Alive In His Family
Nephrologist Manjula Tamura discusses the downsides of kidney dialysis, especially for old or frail patients. Her field has set its sights on offering alternatives, including supportive medical management without dialysis, dialysis in increments, wearable artificial kidneys, and transplanted kidneys from genetically modified pigs – in addition to advances in preventive care that can help humans avoid kidney failure in the first place. Dialysis can extend life, she says, but it is a lifestyle change. The goal is to ensure that every patient's choice aligns with their values and life goals, Tamura tells host Russ Altman in this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?
