This podcast is for anyone who values autonomy in birth no matter where or with whom (or not) you birth. This podcast is not intended as medical advice. Birth is not a medical event, it’s a sacred journey.

Let's Talk About Postpartum Hemorrhage
In today's episode I tell the stories of my two postpartum hemorrhages I experienced during my freebirths. I answer the questions; what is a hemorrhage, why does it happen, and what can I do about it. There's lots of practical info as well as my own personal anecdotes and philosophy thrown in there. In no way should any of this be considered medical advice. I am not a medical professional.

The Sacred Fourth Trimester Intro Pt 1
Today I’ll be talking about the fourth trimester, the first 3 months after birth where you and your baby make the transition from life on the inside with baby to life on the outside with baby. For many Americans life pretty much goes back to pre-pregnancy state, or at least that seems to be the typical goal, but for many women around the world the transition is much more sacred and filled with grace. We’ll learn what some other cultures do and why as well as some practical tips that embrace this sacred approach.

Journey Through Pregnancy and Birth with Chana- 13 weeks
In this episode I chat with one of my besties about her sixth pregnancy. First we get to know how cool she is and a little about her birth history.
She's about 13 weeks, so we discuss first trimester stuff like morning sickness, fatigue, and a tiny bit about diet. We learn how Chana tunes into her baby and uses a low tech approach like listening to her baby with a fetoscope. I'll post a link below if you want to buy your own.
Lastly, we talk about how her faith gives her the motivation and strength to grow, birth, nurture, and disciple six children.
