Kristen shares her two pregnancy and birth stories, one, a home birth with a midwife, and the second, a planned free birth. Throughout her pregnancies, Kristen was in direct communication with the spirits of her babies on the other side, waiting to come through. In fact, it was they who guided her to make the decision to free birth the second time.

Kristen also shares how she resolved the retained placenta from her free birth naturally at home - something I have never heard anyone do before!

Esme vividly describes her first birth experience as a descent into the underworld. Ultimately, that birth process was interrupted by an overly cautious midwife, which had long term physical and emotional ramifications for both her and her son.

After a lot of healing work, her second child was born, in an experience she describes as blissful.

Esme's entire story is nothing short of pure magic! I loved every second of our conversation.

Nelia was assaulted during her first birth experience at her local hospital.

Immediately understanding that what happened to her was wrong, she fought to get justice and to heal.

The second time she gave birth, she took back her power in a massive way.

We mention @birthmonopoly as a great resource for anyone who has experienced obstetric violence. You can find the map of obstetric violence, read other survivor's stories, and other resources here:

A personal share about faith, my relationship with God, and how it all relates to birth. 

After her first pregnancy ended in a loss, Lisa quickly fell pregnant again. The story of her labor and the birth of her baby is the all too common one of a cascade of interventions, beginning with an induction, that ends in a cesarean.

In the aftermath of the trauma of that experience, something beautiful blossomed. I hear this theme commonly from women who experience the utter failure of the maternal healthcare system first hand - if that system is a lie, what other systems or institutions we are taught to blindly trust that are also built on a foundation of lies?

This is a raw, beautiful conversation with a woman beginning to heal.

"It was so boring"

This is how my guest today described her birth, several times, during the course of our conversation. Of course, birth is not actually boring and certainly the journey that brought her to this birth is anything but - but that statement illustrates so perfectly the central theme of her story. That birth, when left alone, even in someone deemed high risk, even in someone who has only had cesareans, can and often does unfold in a very straightforward manner.

This is a story of a woman who radically trusted herself to know what was best for her baby, her body, and how to give birth. She finally said no the systems that had hurt her.

This is also my first returning guest! If you haven't heard the first part of her story, go back to episode 6 of season two of the show, linked below:

During her pregnancy, Roxanne was coerced into taking an injectable pharmaceutical product that injured her, greatly affecting her quality of life postpartum.

Her son was later also injured by the same product.

This is their story of healing together.

Najma spent her early career in the pharmaceutical field, and trusted the medical system. During this time, she also had the sense many times that something wasn't right.

When it came time to have her own children, she chose to keep them pharmaceutical drug-free, until that choice was taken away from her without her consent or knowledge. As a result, her child suffered a vaccine injury.

This is warning to anyone who has their child in a government school, it could happen to any of us.

Located in Egypt, Najma also offers us a window into what is happening there in terms of mandates, medical freedom, and the global tyranny we are all experiencing to one degree or another.

Mothers have always been at the forefront of the medical freedom movement - the fight for the freedom to decide what is or is not injected into their bodies and those of their children.

We are a time in history where the fight for medical freedom has never been so crucial, and so heated.

This is part one of a three part series where mothers share their personal stories of why medical freedom matters to them. #believewomen.

This is Sarah's story.
