Gabrielle shares her two unassisted births, from a casual, confident mountain birth to an intense hot tub labor, and what trusting her body's natural rhythm taught her both times. Along the way, she talks about building a real women's circle, the kind that shows up with groceries and childcare, not just encouragement. This one is for anyone questioning mainstream birth norms and curious about what becomes possible when a woman stops managing her body and starts trusting it.

The difference between a managed birth and a truly lived one can change everything. Gracie shares how a pregnancy that began with fear, false alarms, and a medical system that never seemed to stop escalating led her to question what she was actually consenting to - and what women lose when they hand over their authority. From a terrifying early call about spina bifida markers that turned out to be wrong, to a midwife who opened labor with criticism instead of care, Gracie’s first birth exposes how easily pregnant women can be steered, managed, and emotionally destabilized. But her second pregnancy and freebirth tell a radically different story.

The advice to “just trust the system” falls apart fast when you’ve already been gaslit by doctors, pressured toward induction, and made to feel like your own body can’t be trusted. Jasmine shares the full arc from her first hospital birth, and the quiet unease that followed, to the radically different freebirth that changed how she sees motherhood, power, and herself. She opens up about a messy first pregnancy, an OB-led experience that included pressure around size, a threatened induction at 39 weeks, and the claustrophobic feeling of being managed instead of supported. But the deeper story is what happened after birth: postpartum isolation, dark thoughts she was too afraid to say out loud, and the people-pleasing pattern that kept her suffering silently. Then everything shifts. In her next pregnancy, Jasmine finds Free Birth Society, devours hundreds of hours of podcast stories, and starts to imagine something she never thought possible: having her baby at home, without a midwife, on purpose.

In this deeply honest conversation, Danielle shares the full arc of her journey into motherhood, from a medically managed first birth that left her feeling unprepared and disoriented, to a transformative freebirth experience that changed everything. She opens up about navigating a C-section, postpartum, medicalized motherhood, working in the OR, and the emotional process of undoing old beliefs while preparing for a VBAC and eventually choosing wild pregnancy and freebirth. What unfolds is a powerful story of self-responsibility, healing, and reclaiming trust in the body. Danielle reflects on the support that helped her shift her perspective, the intensity of labor, the beauty of meeting her baby at home, and the complex postpartum emotions that followed. This episode is a moving reminder that growth is not linear, birth is not one-size-fits-all, and every woman’s experience deserves space, honesty, and reverence. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Introducing LEMONADE, my newest training program.

Season 10 of Your Favorite Podcast drops Friday, September 4, 2026. Watch the teaser trailer and share/comment if you’re as excited as we are!

This week on the Free Birth Society Podcast, Emilee sits down with Jinny and Audrey, a remarkable mother–daughter duo with sovereign birth woven through both of their lives. Jinny, a mother of seven and birth doula, shares how her third birth became a freebirth when she decided not to return to the hospital after feeling mistreated during labor check-in. Jinny shares the story of her four vaginal breech births, surprise twins, and an unwavering confidence in her body. Audrey, a Radical Birth Keeper graduate and freebirth entrepreneur, assumed that she would never have children. But when she found herself pregnant in her thirties, she quickly opted out of the obstetrical track. After navigating a shocking breech birth in the OR with 18 people watching, followed by an upsetting midwife-attended homebirth, Audrey knew she was ready to claim freebirth from that point on. Together, Jinny and Audrey share stories of breech babies, surprise twins, precipitous birth, and the lessons of sovereignty. Audrey also…

This week, Emilee is joined by Raquel, who shares her extraordinary first pregnancy and sovereign birth at the age of 41. Raquel speaks candidly about the profound transitions she navigated during this time. The death of her mother, leaving her job, moving homes, and entering into the work of congruency, boundaries, and privacy. Choosing a wild pregnancy, she hired a Radical Birth Keeper graduate to hold space as she walked this sacred path. She opens up about the challenges she faced postpartum with nursing and her child’s tongue tie, reflecting on what she might do differently now. And she speaks with clarity about her sense of completion after one child, naming that she does not desire more. This conversation carries the archetype of the death of the maiden, a story of initiation, sovereignty, and the power of claiming motherhood on one’s own terms. Donate to the podcast here.

Nine days before Rachel was to give birth to her first child, her beloved birth keeper, Candace, was tragically killed in a car accident. Grief-stricken, panicked, and suddenly faced with new decisions, Rachel chose to freebirth. What unfolded was the gentle, funny, and heartwarming story of a woman moving through her day with ease, allowing her birth to remain simple, quiet, and her own. *This episode is both a celebration of Rachel’s first birth and a tribute to Candace Smith, a Radical Birth Keeper graduate and cherished member of our community whose memory continues to weave joy and service into all who knew her.

This week, I’m joined once again by Kristin Hauser, a beloved and regular guest on the Free Birth Society Podcast. We weave through the stories of Kristin’s four births, with a special focus on her most recent freebirth and the profound lessons it offered. Kristin shares the raw reality of experiencing excessive bleeding in her fourth birth, and how it initiated her into a new relationship with her blood and her body. For the first time in her mothering journey, she was required to stay in bed and truly receive care, nourishment, and love from the women around her. In this conversation, Kristin reflects on how birth taught her not only resilience but also the art of receiving. Her story is a powerful reminder of how important the web of support is for us during these sacred times. ✨ Join The Lighthouse — A private, life-changing membership space for conscious, sovereign women.

After six births within the system—including a cesarean at 37 weeks due to partial placenta previa and subsequent hospital abuse—Ashleigh knew she was done. Now a mother of nine and a Radical Birth Keeper School graduate, Ashleigh joins me to share her accumulated wisdom from nearly twenty years of mothering and birthing. We met in person at Matriarch Rising Festival, and in this conversation, we explore what it means to truly live the lessons that birth offers us. We discuss the pros and cons of having children present during birth, what it looks like to honor our evolving faith journeys, and how Ashleigh navigated the tension between her freebirth path and her husband’s discomfort with it. I also challenge Ashleigh’s decision to pull away from her Christian audience, encouraging her to consider what it might mean to let her community see her more deeply. She speaks vulnerably about her own healing from rage and how she now coaches mothers who find themselves lashing out at their children—because she’s been…

This week on the Free Birth Society Podcast, I sit down with Miki Agrawal—serial entrepreneur, cultural disruptor, and unapologetic creative force. From opening New York City’s first gluten-free, farm-to-table pizza restaurant, to founding THINX, to launching TUSHY and Hiro Diapers, Miki has built a life out of challenging taboos and reimagining the everyday. Together, we explore what it means to know who you are and stay steadfast in that truth—even in the face of cancel culture. Miki shares how she rose above public attack, what female entrepreneurial life has really demanded of her, and why she’s so passionate about rethinking the most basic human habits—from ditching toilet paper in favor of water, to creating the first plastic-eating mushroom-spore diaper. This is a conversation about creativity, courage, and the heroine’s adventure of living boldly, building fearlessly, and standing firmly in who you are. ✨Are you a sovereign birth professional and want to be listed? Or would you like to connect to…

This week, I am joined by Celia from the Bay Area, California, who shares her journey from birthing with medical midwives and working as a doula, to stepping fully into sovereign birth work and choosing freebirth with her fourth child. Born at home herself, Celia’s path was forever changed when she read Portal and began to unravel everything she thought she knew about birth. As a graduate of the Radical Birth Keeper School, she now carries this work forward in her own community. Celia reflects on her four births, including the painful memory of her midwife pulling out her placentas. She shares how, in her fourth and most recent birth, allowing her placenta to be born in her own way and her own time became her favorite part of the entire experience. In this conversation, Celia names what it means to let birth be simple, to trust herself, and to claim it all. ✨ Join The Lighthouse — A private, life-changing membership space for conscious, sovereign women.

This week on the Free Birth Society Podcast, I sit down with homeopath Melissa Kupsch for a rich and fascinating dive into the world of homeopathy. We explore its powerful history, reaching back to the days when homeopathy was a dominant and respected medicine. Melissa shares the almost unbelievable personal story that awakened her to this path, and she offers a mountain of wisdom and practical guidance for anyone curious about where to begin.

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…

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 hospital What it feels like to stand up to doctors and refuse routine procedures The hidden link between…

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. She carried that fierce sovereignty into motherhood, choosing to walk the sovereign path in her pregnancy and birth. She speaks to the comfort of finding the perfect sovereign birth witness and how being around animal birth her whole life helped her understand what she needed to do. Inside this episode: How surviving thyroid cancer led Jocelyn to question everything she’d been taught The moment in the hospital that made her vow never to surrender her body again What a wild pregnancy looked like day-to-day, with no tests, scans, or appointments What it takes to hold the line with family and community when your choices challenge the norm…

What happens when you walk away from everything and find your own path to motherhood? In this episode, we hear from Julia, a Montana mother of two who walked away from the corporate grind, sold her home, and set out on a radically different path to motherhood, one rooted in sovereignty, sisterhood, and self-trust. Julia shares how her first wild pregnancy unfolded while traveling the West Coast in a trailer, living off-grid in national forests, and finding community through The Lighthouse membership. With a deeply ingrained medical upbringing, Julia had to unravel layers of programming to reclaim birth on her terms. She tells the raw and beautiful stories of birthing her babies on raw land in the Montana winter, catching her first baby unexpectedly with bath towels and a shoelace, and welcoming her second in a fast, intuitive birth in the same off-grid trailer. From navigating boundaries with family to tandem nursing and raising her children outside the system, Julia’s story is a powerful testament to the…

What if the birth certificate was never for your baby—but a tool of control used by the state? In this episode, I sit down with Veda Ray, a freebirthing mother of two, who chose to walk a path most women never even consider: birthing and raising her second child completely outside the system. No pregnancy test. No monitoring. No birth certificate. No social security number. After her first birth at a birth center, Veda knew she wanted something different. This time, she listened deeply—to her body, to her baby, and to her own intuition—and what she heard was clear: this child was to be born free. We go deep into the realities of living outside the system, including how she navigated the legal terrain to secure a passport without government-issued ID, why she believes the birth certificate is a jurisdictional trap, and the spiritual responsibility of saying no to the state’s contracts. Inside this episode: What really happens when you don’t get a birth certificate or Social Security number for your child The…

What would you do if you had to give birth in the middle of a war? In this episode, I sit down with Natalia, a Ukrainian mother of two, to hear her incredible story of freebirthing her second child during the 2022 Russian invasion. After one homebirth, Natalia chose to walk an even more radical path with her second—preparing to give birth without medical support, while bombs dropped around her and sirens became part of daily life. What’s most striking is that on the day her son was born, the chaos paused. For the first time in weeks, there was silence. A stillness descended over her city, allowing Natalia to give birth in a sacred bubble of peace amidst the war. A divine mercy. We speak candidly about what it was like to prepare for a physiological birth during trauma and survival mode. We explore how she tended to herself postpartum while navigating a broken system that refused to acknowledge her birth. We talk about stopping her hemorrhage, the bureaucratic battle to register her baby, and the…

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…

In this episode, I’m joined by Ash Anderson, mother of three and recent graduate of The MatriBirth Mentor Institute. After a traumatic induction with her first baby, Ash was certain she was done having children. But what she came to realize was that it wasn’t birth she was finished with—it was the hospital.  We unpack what it took for Ash to walk away from the industrial model of care, how she and her husband navigated the residual fear from her first birth, and why healing her relationship with motherhood was a necessary precursor to welcoming another baby. From being coerced into interventions to catching her third baby alone in a moment of pure presence, Ash offers a grounded and powerful testimony to the transformation that becomes possible when a woman chooses trust, sovereignty, and self-responsibility. You’ll Learn: Why “just in case” inductions increase trauma and strip women of autonomy How hospital birth plans are powerless against coercive systems What subtle manipulation in late pregnancy says…

What happens when the work you love, your life’s devotion, collides with public scrutiny, betrayal, and cancel culture? In this intimate conversation, I sit down with my closest collaborator and soul sister in this movement, Yolande Norris-Clark. Together, we unpack what it’s been like to build groundbreaking programs for women, like our 10-month mentorship, The MatriBirth Mentor Institute (MMI), while simultaneously weathering the storm of online harassment, public misrepresentation, and the many initiations that come with success. This is a raw and honest reflection on navigating backlash, strengthening boundaries, and staying anchored in your values while walking a path most don’t understand. We speak to the complex dance of sisterhood and collaboration, and how our friendship has been both tested and deepened by the work we continue to stand for. This episode is for the women who know they’re here to disrupt the norm, build what’s never been built before, and stay the course even when darkness tries to…

What do you do when you're in the middle of your third pregnancy and a hate group forms to threaten your life? In this Season 9 premier, I sit down with my husband—and third-time guest—Jonny, for a raw and real 40-week wrap-up. We share honestly about what this year has demanded: deep growth, hard decisions, and the very real emotional weight of being publicly attacked while stewarding this freebirth movement.  We talk openly about our major fails in business and community building, our shift towards the private sector, and how we’re preparing to welcome our third baby at home while holding our family steady. You’ll Learn: What it feels like to navigate a pregnancy marked by nausea, migraines, and total slowdown The story behind Jonny quitting his 6-figure job and choosing to stay home to live as an "intact" family. Why their attempt to build a private school in rural North Carolina failed despite major investment The surprising link between moving during COVID and outgrowing their super rural life five…

To close this season, I wanted to bring you a guest whose presence and legacy transcend words, so I invited back the legendary elder midwife, @sistermorningstar. In this powerful and intimate conversation, Sister MorningStar shares the stories of her three births, her lifelong devotion to traditional midwifery, and the extraordinary account of being put on trial for standing by a mother through a stillbirth at home. This episode is a testament to integrity, to ancestral memory, and to the unshakable fire it takes to stand for women in a culture that does not. ✨ That’s a wrap on Season Eight.
