In this episode, Chantel acts weird and attempts to read 4 blog posts that describe the ways she sees and feels about the current women's health paradigm, and how she wishes we could all shift our perspectives. If you can get past her loopy ass jokes, then you might really enjoy this one! The 4 pieces she reads are:

1) Her recent Medium article, "Real Feminists Don't Go to the Doctor."

https://medium.com/@chantelquick/real-feminists-dont-go-to-the-doctor-9d878151bb46

2) Her older Medium article, "There Is Nothing Healthy About “Women’s Healthcare: Why Women’s Healthcare undermines women’s health a creates a culture of abuse we all accept."

https://medium.com/@chantelquick/there-is-nothing-healthy-about-womens-healthcare-7ec5ce0597be

3) An IG and blog post from @freya.kellet on Patriarchal ideas of health and hygiene.

4) Chantel's recent IG post on the history and practices of obstetrics @rooted.is.radicle

"If you're a feminist, you should be rejecting the ritualistic medical practice of pelvic exams and pap smears."

In this episode I will be breaking down the differences between a traditional midwife and a MEDwife in an attempt to help women who desire a natural, homebirth achieve their desired birth outcome.

How much is too much when it comes to vaccines? Do you have a limit for the the number of pharmaceutical drug interventions you will allow your child to have? Or do you believe, "the more the better?!"

Find out why I think it's important for everyone to know their limit.

-The value of our symptoms and our obsession with symptom suppression.

-The MTHFR gene mutation.

Here is what Emilee and I spoke about:

-How they chose their last name and where it comes from.

-What does it mean to have a free life?

-Western marriage, and Emilee's thoughts on traditional, government instituted marriage.

-Meaning and origin of the word 'Doula.'

-The relationship between violence and lack of mother/baby attachment. 'The Physics Of Love' book: https://www.amazon.com/Physics-Love-Ultimate-Universal-Laws/dp/1572820020

-The importance for children to have a powerful, confident, autonomous mother.

-The foundations of violence and abuse in the obstetrical model of care.

-How doulas lack any authority or power with a laboring woman.

-Rules and regulations of licensed midwifery.

-The maternity model of care stems from how society doesn't trust women to make their own choices about their body/families.

-The false idea that a woman can be a "good candidate" or not for a home birth.

-Our collective cultural fear of physiological birth.

-What is a truly natural (physiological) birth? "The first intervention is leaving your home."

-How "we never really know anything," and fear of the unknown is the root of consenting to medicalized care, but it's ultimately counterproductive.

- Men traditionally as head of households and the decision makers are choosing how women in their family give birth and the negative impacts of that.

-Emilee doesn't participate in the all inclusive birth organizations/groups/rhetoric because, "To stand for something means you stand against things."
