The Freebirth vs Medical Birth Illusion - SOLO EPISODE


Listen Later

In this solo transmission, I name something I’ve been witnessing for a long time in the birth space: the birth world is completely out of control!

What was once a simple, instinctual axis of natural birth vs medical birth has now fractured into multiple layers with brands, ideologies and Instagram philosophies.

In this episode, I strip away the noise and bring us back to the TRUE foundation of Birth.

And how, when we try to domesticate her, intellectualise her, or control her - we create the chaos we’re currently drowning in.

I also speak to the nine-year cycle we’re moving through collectively - a cycle of exposure, collapse, and cosmic housekeeping - and why this moment of breakdown in the “birth world” is not a mistake, but a clearing. A return.

I also explore:
  • Why the “freebirth vs medical birth” war is a distraction
  • Why the unfolding of birth absolutely matters - and why some will act as though it doesnt
  • The birth world as chaos, fragmentation and marketplace
  • The misogynistic and biblical roots of “you get the birth you needed”
  • What “the birth world” actually is - and why it’s irrelevant to birth
  • The myth of providing choice for modern women
This episode is for you if…
  • You feel disillusioned or confused by the current “birth world” and all its sides, methods and opinions.
  • You’ve sensed that birth is being pulled further and further away from what it truly is - and you can’t unsee it.
  • You’re ready to move beyond camps, labels and strategies - and nd return to the raw, uncontaminated truth of birth.
