- Taking All Of Her Power Back: Davana's Redemptive VBAC Story
Davana's pregnancy with her first son was a wake up call to the consequences of trusting in a system that doesn't serve women. After a traumatizing and unnecessary surgical birth, she found the fire within her to say "never again" and chose the guidance of her inner voice above all.
Today, Davana shares with us her beautiful journey of moving from confusion to courage, her process of learning how robbed she was in her first birth, and how she took all of her power back in the ecstatic, dream birth of her second son, attended by one of our very own Radical Birth Keeper graduates.

1 hr 1 min - Laying Down the License to Truly Serve Women with Kemi BirthJoy Johnson
Today, I'm talking with licensed midwife turned radical birth keeper, Kemi "BirthJoy" Johnson.
After two traumatic hospital births of her own, and nearly four decades of pursuing medical midwifery, Kemi was faced with the harsh realities of the medical system over and over again, and decided to remove herself from it- for her sake, and the sake of the women that she served.
In this episode, we talk about the modern day witch-hunt of traditional midwives by the medical industry, what it looks like to serve women in integrity, and how women like Kemi are reclaiming the word "midwife" all over the world.

1 hr 7 min - Reclaiming the Ritual of Ceremonial Birth
Today on the show, we have my friend Angeli, from Canada. Angeli was pregnant during the Radical Birth Keeper School, and over the twelve weeks, her pregnancy and her business transformed in many ways. Angeli tells the story of her life as a rugged, woodland goddess living with her lover in a yurt with her two dogs- birthing and living in alignment with life.
Her journey of placing absolute trust in her body resulted in a ritualistic and ceremonial freebirth. Now a radical birth keeper, Angeli has the embodied experience of a powerful birth that she brings to all of the birthing women she serves in her community.

About Free Birth Society
From the publisher's feed
The Free Birth Society Podcast features honest, gripping, inspiring, and transformative freebirth stories hosted by the founder Emilee Saldaya in conversation with wild women worldwide.
In the vast tapestry of childbirth experiences, a thread runs undisturbed, unmedicated, and true to its ancestral roots: freebirth. This differs from your usual home birth with doulas or midwives in attendance. Freebirth stands apart, where birthing is solely in the hands of the birthing woman, accompanied only by her intuition, rhythms of nature, witnessed by her family.
The Free Birth Podcast invites you to a unique corner of the universe where we dive deep into the raw essence of birth, untamed and unassisted. Pushing against the tides of modern obstetrics and its violent approach, we venture into stories of women who've boldly chosen to claim this primal rite of passage. Here, we're not merely sharing tales; we're challenging the status quo and redefining the very narrative of childbirth.
As we unravel discussions on rights in childbirth, dissect varied care models, and amplify the unfiltered voices of freebirthing women from around the planet, our purpose remains clear: to spotlight the distinction and significance of wild birth. This isn't an argument against the myriad ways women choose to birth, but rather an affirmation that freebirth has its revered space in the continuum of birth choices.
Join us in celebrating a movement that underscores the powerful message and has changed the lives of thousands: Birth, in its purest form, is not a medical event but a profoundly personal journey.
The Free Birth Society Podcast is your compass to navigate and rediscover that journey.
*Freebirth = Birthing in the absence of any hired professionals, away from medical institutions or their agents. Also known as family birth, unassisted birth, wild birth.
*Sovereign birth = Birthing outside of the medical paradigm, inclusive of births with authentic midwives and doulas. We include many stories on the show where women birthed outside of the medical system with doulas and radical birth keepers. While these births are not freebirths, they are certainly sovereign births!
