In this episode, I sit down with Billie Harrigan, a world-renowned expert in restoring the power of women and reclaiming the birth experience. Together, we explore how the medicalization of childbirth has shaped modern maternity care—and why honoring the natural process is so essential for both mother and child.
Medicine Girl’s Substack is a reader-supported publication, thank you for considering becoming a paid subscriber. I am grateful for any and all support bringing the truth to light. It gets lonely out here and I love to read and engage with your comments and thought provoking ideas and lately they have been excellent.
Billie shares powerful insights into how hospital interventions, often presented as routine, can create unnecessary complications. We discuss the risks of synthetic prenatal vitamins, the importance of real nutrition during pregnancy, and the critical role of informed decision-making when choosing where and how to give birth.
Our conversation also highlights the need for supportive environments and community-based birthing practices that empower women, reduce reliance on unnecessary medical procedures, and return childbirth to its rightful place as a natural, transformative experience.
