The Mother–Daughter Freebirth Duo: Jinny & Audrey’s Stories

info@freebirthsociety.com (Emilee Saldaya) — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 06:00:00 -0500

This week on the Free Birth Society Podcast, Emilee sits down with Jinny and Audrey, a remarkable mother–daughter duo with sovereign birth woven through both of their lives.

Jinny, a mother of seven and birth doula, shares how her third birth became a freebirth when she decided not to return to the hospital after feeling mistreated during labor check-in. Jinny shares the story of her four vaginal breech births, surprise twins, and an unwavering confidence in her body.

Audrey, a Radical Birth Keeper graduate and freebirth entrepreneur, assumed that she would never have children. But when she found herself pregnant in her thirties, she quickly opted out of the obstetrical track. After navigating a shocking breech birth in the OR with 18 people watching, followed by an upsetting midwife-attended homebirth, Audrey knew she was ready to claim freebirth from that point on.

Together, Jinny and Audrey share stories of breech babies, surprise twins, precipitous birth, and the lessons of sovereignty. Audrey also speaks candidly about navigating backlash and public scrutiny—and how she continues to find the will to keep going.

Death of the Maiden: Raquel’s Journey into Motherhood at 41

info@freebirthsociety.com (Emilee Saldaya) — Fri, 05 Dec 2025 06:00:00 -0500

This week, Emilee is joined by Raquel, who shares her extraordinary first pregnancy and sovereign birth at the age of 41.

Raquel speaks candidly about the profound transitions she navigated during this time. The death of her mother, leaving her job, moving homes, and entering into the work of congruency, boundaries, and privacy. Choosing a wild pregnancy, she hired a Radical Birth Keeper graduate to hold space as she walked this sacred path.

She opens up about the challenges she faced postpartum with nursing and her child’s tongue tie, reflecting on what she might do differently now. And she speaks with clarity about her sense of completion after one child, naming that she does not desire more.

This conversation carries the archetype of the death of the maiden, a story of initiation, sovereignty, and the power of claiming motherhood on one’s own terms.

info@freebirthsociety.com (Emilee Saldaya) — Fri, 21 Nov 2025 02:00:00 -0500

Nine days before Rachel was to give birth to her first child, her beloved birth keeper, Candace, was tragically killed in a car accident. Grief-stricken, panicked, and suddenly faced with new decisions, Rachel chose to freebirth.

What unfolded was the gentle, funny, and heartwarming story of a woman moving through her day with ease, allowing her birth to remain simple, quiet, and her own.

This week, I’m joined once again by Kristin Hauser, a beloved and regular guest on the Free Birth Society Podcast. We weave through the stories of Kristin’s four births, with a special focus on her most recent freebirth and the profound lessons it offered.

Kristin shares the raw reality of experiencing excessive bleeding in her fourth birth, and how it initiated her into a new relationship with her blood and her body. For the first time in her mothering journey, she was required to stay in bed and truly receive care, nourishment, and love from the women around her.

In this conversation, Kristin reflects on how birth taught her not only resilience but also the art of receiving. Her story is a powerful reminder of how important the web of support is for us during these sacred times.

15. Mother of Nine: Radical Wisdom from Two Decades of Birth

info@freebirthsociety.com (Emilee Saldaya) — Fri, 07 Nov 2025 02:00:00 -0500

After six births within the system—including a cesarean at 37 weeks due to partial placenta previa and subsequent hospital abuse—Ashleigh knew she was done.

Now a mother of nine and a Radical Birth Keeper School graduate, Ashleigh joins me to share her accumulated wisdom from nearly twenty years of mothering and birthing. We met in person at Matriarch Rising Festival, and in this conversation, we explore what it means to truly live the lessons that birth offers us.

We discuss the pros and cons of having children present during birth, what it looks like to honor our evolving faith journeys, and how Ashleigh navigated the tension between her freebirth path and her husband’s discomfort with it.

I also challenge Ashleigh’s decision to pull away from her Christian audience, encouraging her to consider what it might mean to let her community see her more deeply. She speaks vulnerably about her own healing from rage and how she now coaches mothers who find themselves lashing out at their children—because she’s been there too.

Come listen, learn, and receive from a mother of nine whose story carries the depth and clarity only time, experience, and devotion can bring.

This week on the Free Birth Society Podcast, I sit down with Miki Agrawal—serial entrepreneur, cultural disruptor, and unapologetic creative force.

From opening New York City’s first gluten-free, farm-to-table pizza restaurant, to founding THINX, to launching TUSHY and Hiro Diapers, Miki has built a life out of challenging taboos and reimagining the everyday. Together, we explore what it means to know who you are and stay steadfast in that truth—even in the face of cancel culture.

Miki shares how she rose above public attack, what female entrepreneurial life has really demanded of her, and why she’s so passionate about rethinking the most basic human habits—from ditching toilet paper in favor of water, to creating the first plastic-eating mushroom-spore diaper.

This is a conversation about creativity, courage, and the heroine’s adventure of living boldly, building fearlessly, and standing firmly in who you are.

13. Claiming It All: Celia’s Story of Birth, Power, and Simplicity

info@freebirthsociety.com (Emilee Saldaya) — Fri, 24 Oct 2025 02:00:00 -0400

This week, I am joined by Celia from the Bay Area, California, who shares her journey from birthing with medical midwives and working as a doula, to stepping fully into sovereign birth work and choosing freebirth with her fourth child.

Born at home herself, Celia’s path was forever changed when she read Portal and began to unravel everything she thought she knew about birth. As a graduate of the Radical Birth Keeper School, she now carries this work forward in her own community.

Celia reflects on her four births, including the painful memory of her midwife pulling out her placentas. She shares how, in her fourth and most recent birth, allowing her placenta to be born in her own way and her own time became her favorite part of the entire experience.

In this conversation, Celia names what it means to let birth be simple, to trust herself, and to claim it all.

info@freebirthsociety.com (Emilee Saldaya) — Fri, 17 Oct 2025 02:00:00 -0400

After surviving domestic violence and a series of traumatic hospital births, Tahlia from Australia made the courageous decision to leave her abusive partner and begin again.

In rebuilding her life, she came to understand what it truly means to make herself available to health, love, and sovereignty.

That path culminated in the extraordinary experience of birthing her twins at home—on her terms, in her power.

info@freebirthsociety.com (Emilee Saldaya) — Fri, 10 Oct 2025 02:00:00 -0400

This week on the Free Birth Society Podcast, I sit down with homeopath Melissa Kupsch for a rich and fascinating dive into the world of homeopathy.

We explore its powerful history, reaching back to the days when homeopathy was a dominant and respected medicine. Melissa shares the almost unbelievable personal story that awakened her to this path, and she offers a mountain of wisdom and practical guidance for anyone curious about where to begin.

This conversation is equal parts history, testimony, and initiation. If you’ve ever wondered about homeopathy—or sensed there is a whole realm of healing outside the medical model yet to be touched—this episode is a potent place to start.

10: Double the Responsibility: Birthing Twins in Sovereignty

info@freebirthsociety.com (Emilee Saldaya) — Fri, 03 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0400

What happens when you choose a normal birth with twins?

In this episode, I speak with Nicole, a mother from South Africa now living in the U.S., who chose sovereignty in one of the most medicalized and “high-risk” experiences imaginable: an identical twin pregnancy. From the very beginning, she was met with fear-based narratives—warnings of stillbirth, premature labor, and twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. But after enduring traumatic experiences in hospitals and with midwives, Nicole knew she would not birth her twins within the system.

Instead, she underwent a profound process of deconditioning and committed to trusting her body. With the steady support of her husband, a Radical Birth Keeper graduate, and a community of women walking this same path, Nicole carried her twins to 40 weeks and welcomed them at home, in embodied sovereignty.

Nicole shares the raw reality of holding responsibility for twins outside the system: the constant conversations about risk, the deep conviction it took to turn away completely, and the profound freedom of reclaiming birth on her own terms.

Inside this episode:

What Nicole witnessed in the hospital that made her vow never to return
How she carried her twins to full term, trusting her body’s wisdom
The support she found in a community of sovereign mothers
What labor with twins looked like at home
The double standard of blame when outcomes differ at home versus in the hospital
The freedom and healing that come with birthing twins in sovereignty

9: Behind the Curtain of Labor & Delivery: Rylee’s Freebirth Story

info@freebirthsociety.com (Emilee Saldaya) — Fri, 26 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0400

What happens when you see behind the curtain of labor and delivery?

In this episode, I speak with Rylee, a young mother who chose to freebirth her first child after working inside the hospital system. From the vantage point of the “business of birth,” Rylee began to question everything she thought she knew about pregnancy. That unraveling brought her face-to-face with the deep dissonance between what she was told was “right” and what her body knew was true.

Carrying that knowing into her own pregnancy, she made the radical choice to step away from the system entirely. Rylee shares what it was like to work as a self-described “fearmongering phlebotomist,” to quit, and then to bring her baby earthside in her own power.

Her story is one of unlearning, reclaiming, and discovering the strength that emerges when a woman finally trusts herself.

What You’ll Hear:

Why Rylee walked away from working in a hospital
What it feels like to stand up to doctors and refuse routine procedures
The hidden link between hospital “convenience” and high C-section rates
Why even trusted OBs and familiar clinics can still feel wrong

info@freebirthsociety.com (Emilee Saldaya) — Thu, 18 Sep 2025 12:00:00 -0400

What happens when cancer treatment becomes the greatest catalyst for sovereignty?

In this episode, I speak with Jocelyn, a Tennessee mother who walked away from conventional medicine after surviving thyroid cancer and having her thyroid removed at 25 years old.

That experience changed everything. Jocelyn made a vow: never again would she hand her body over to the system. She carried that fierce sovereignty into motherhood, choosing to walk the sovereign path in her pregnancy and birth.

She speaks to the comfort of finding the perfect sovereign birth witness and how being around animal birth her whole life helped her understand what she needed to do.

How surviving thyroid cancer led Jocelyn to question everything she’d been taught
The moment in the hospital that made her vow never to surrender her body again

7: Quitting Corporate America to Begin Again: Divorce, Freebirth, and Off-Grid Life

info@freebirthsociety.com (Emilee Saldaya) — Fri, 12 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0400

What happens when you walk away from everything and find your own path to motherhood?

In this episode, we hear from Julia, a Montana mother of two who walked away from the corporate grind, sold her home, and set out on a radically different path to motherhood, one rooted in sovereignty, sisterhood, and self-trust.

Julia shares how her first wild pregnancy unfolded while traveling the West Coast in a trailer, living off-grid in national forests, and finding community through The Lighthouse membership. With a deeply ingrained medical upbringing, Julia had to unravel layers of programming to reclaim birth on her terms.

She tells the raw and beautiful stories of birthing her babies on raw land in the Montana winter, catching her first baby unexpectedly with bath towels and a shoelace, and welcoming her second in a fast, intuitive birth in the same off-grid trailer. From navigating boundaries with family to tandem nursing and raising her children outside the system, Julia’s story is a powerful testament to the courage it takes to live differently.

6: Unpacking Birth Certificates with Veda Ray

info@freebirthsociety.com (Emilee Saldaya) — Fri, 05 Sep 2025 00:09:00 -0400

What if the birth certificate was never for your baby—but a tool of control used by the state?

In this episode, I sit down with Veda Ray, a freebirthing mother of two, who chose to walk a path most women never even consider: birthing and raising her second child completely outside the system. No pregnancy test. No monitoring. No birth certificate. No social security number.

After her first birth at a birth center, Veda knew she wanted something different. This time, she listened deeply—to her body, to her baby, and to her own intuition—and what she heard was clear: this child was to be born free.

We go deep into the realities of living outside the system, including how she navigated the legal terrain to secure a passport without government-issued ID, why she believes the birth certificate is a jurisdictional trap, and the spiritual responsibility of saying no to the state’s contracts.

Inside this episode:

What really happens when you don’t get a birth certificate or Social Security number for your child
The process Veda used to get a passport without a state-issued ID
Why a “family Bible” can hold legal weight in proving lineage and identity
How the social security number binds your child into the U.S. corporate system

What it’s like to raise a child who has never been registered by the state
The unseen cost of outsourcing authority—and what you reclaim when you stop

5: She Freebirthed In The Middle Of The Ukraine/Russia War

info@freebirthsociety.com (Emilee Saldaya) — Fri, 29 Aug 2025 00:00:00 -0400

What would you do if you had to give birth in the middle of a war?

In this episode, I sit down with Natalia, a Ukrainian mother of two, to hear her incredible story of freebirthing her second child during the 2022 Russian invasion.

After one homebirth, Natalia chose to walk an even more radical path with her second—preparing to give birth without medical support, while bombs dropped around her and sirens became part of daily life.

What’s most striking is that on the day her son was born, the chaos paused. For the first time in weeks, there was silence. A stillness descended over her city, allowing Natalia to give birth in a sacred bubble of peace amidst the war. A divine mercy.

We speak candidly about what it was like to prepare for a physiological birth during trauma and survival mode. We explore how she tended to herself postpartum while navigating a broken system that refused to acknowledge her birth. We talk about stopping her hemorrhage, the bureaucratic battle to register her baby, and the heartbreaking search for breast milk when her body struggled to produce.

This conversation is a living testament to maternal instinct, spiritual resilience, and the unshakable power of sovereign birth—even in the most unimaginable of circumstances.

Inside this episode:

How Natalia prepared for freebirth while her country was under siege
The eerie silence that fell over her city as she birthed her son
Navigating postpartum hemorrhage alone—and what she did to stop it
Her struggle to obtain a birth certificate in a system that denied her reality
What it took to find donor breast milk for her newborn
The spiritual strength and sovereignty required to give birth during war

4: From Single Mother to Sovereign Birth Keeper: Mimilia’s 4 Births

info@freebirthsociety.com (Emilee Saldaya) — Fri, 22 Aug 2025 00:00:00 -0400

How deep can birth take you when you fully surrender to the mystery?

In this episode, I sit down with Mimilia—mother of four and a recent graduate of our MatriBirth Mentor Institute. Her story is a breathtaking journey through four radically different births, each one deepening her trust, sharpening her discernment, and calling her closer to truth.

We begin with her first birth: newly single, choosing freebirth in her homeland of Puerto Rico, and awakening to her own power in the most unexpected of settings. From there, Mimilia shares the simple beauty of freebirthing in a tipi in the Colorado mountains, before taking a surprising detour—hiring a licensed midwife for her third birth.

But it’s her fourth birth that brings it all home: the culmination of her path through sovereignty, surrender, and self-responsibility. This episode is a mirror, a medicine story, and an invitation to reflect on what birth reveals when we are ready to listen.

Inside this episode:

What it’s like to leave a relationship mid-pregnancy and return to your homeland
What it looks like to birth in a tipi—with a handmade altar and a bucket of water
Why hiring a midwife for her third birth helped her understand what kind of birth keeper she would be
How birth exposed the subtle and chronic ways she’d been abandoning herself
What it takes to face birth without flinching—and let it break you open
Why having her children witness birth became a sacred part of the journey
How MMI helped her embody her calling as a woman, a mother, and a birth keeper
This one is intimate, wild, and deeply instructive. Tune in.

3: She Fired Her Obstetrician At 36 Weeks Pregnant And Freebirthed

info@freebirthsociety.com (Emilee Saldaya) — Fri, 15 Aug 2025 00:00:00 -0400

In this episode, I’m joined by Ash Anderson, mother of three and recent graduate of The MatriBirth Mentor Institute. After a traumatic induction with her first baby, Ash was certain she was done having children. But what she came to realize was that it wasn’t birth she was finished with—it was the hospital.

We unpack what it took for Ash to walk away from the industrial model of care, how she and her husband navigated the residual fear from her first birth, and why healing her relationship with motherhood was a necessary precursor to welcoming another baby.

From being coerced into interventions to catching her third baby alone in a moment of pure presence, Ash offers a grounded and powerful testimony to the transformation that becomes possible when a woman chooses trust, sovereignty, and self-responsibility.

You’ll Learn:

Why “just in case” inductions increase trauma and strip women of autonomy
How hospital birth plans are powerless against coercive systems
What subtle manipulation in late pregnancy says about industrial birth priorities
Why even “holistic” midwives still operate within controlling paradigms
How freebirth dissolves fear and restores deep body-trust
Why preparing for postpartum is a radical act of self-respect
How birth witnessed by children shapes the future of womanhood
What it means to birth alone and discover your strength, resilience, and sovereignty

This episode is a reminder that birth doesn’t have to be micromanaged, feared, or medicalized. It can be simple. It can be sacred. It can be yours if you choose it.

[00:00] Introduction

[02:11] Realizing the hospital birth system wasn't aligned with her values

The Fruits of Cancel Culture and Mob Mentality: A Tell-All with Yolande Norris-Clark

info@freebirthsociety.com (Emilee Saldaya) — Fri, 08 Aug 2025 00:00:00 -0400

What happens when the work you love, your life’s devotion, collides with public scrutiny, betrayal, and cancel culture?

In this intimate conversation, I sit down with my closest collaborator and soul sister in this movement, Yolande Norris-Clark. Together, we unpack what it’s been like to build groundbreaking programs for women, like our 10-month mentorship, The MatriBirth Mentor Institute (MMI), while simultaneously weathering the storm of online harassment, public misrepresentation, and the many initiations that come with success.

This is a raw and honest reflection on navigating backlash, strengthening boundaries, and staying anchored in your values while walking a path most don’t understand. We speak to the complex dance of sisterhood and collaboration, and how our friendship has been both tested and deepened by the work we continue to stand for.

This episode is for the women who know they’re here to disrupt the norm, build what’s never been built before, and stay the course even when darkness tries to push back.

Inside this episode, we explore:

What hate groups taught us about privacy, protection, and spiritual hygiene
Why we chose to rebrand the name of MMI to something that feels more aligned
How scrutiny and slander can catalyze profound personal evolution and maturity
The beauty and necessity of sisterhood that doesn’t flinch under fire
Why being rooted in purpose is the only sustainable strategy for enduring cancel culture
What it really takes to keep showing up when you know you’re being watched in bad faith

We created The MatriBirth Mentor Institute because we know the sovereign birth-work path isn’t easy—but it’s necessary. MMI is the container for women called to lead in truth, in integrity, and in devotion. This episode is a glimpse into the lived experience of harvesting the fruits of “mob mentality” and doing the inner work to become “uncancellable”.

A Raw and Personal Third 40-Week Wrap Up with Jonny & Emilee

info@freebirthsociety.com (Emilee Saldaya) — Fri, 01 Aug 2025 00:00:00 -0400

What do you do when you're in the middle of your third pregnancy and a hate group forms to threaten your life?

In this Season 9 premier, I sit down with my husband—and third-time guest—Jonny, for a raw and real 40-week wrap-up.

We share honestly about what this year has demanded: deep growth, hard decisions, and the very real emotional weight of being publicly attacked while stewarding this freebirth movement.

We talk openly about our major fails in business and community building, our shift towards the private sector, and how we’re preparing to welcome our third baby at home while holding our family steady.

You’ll Learn:

What it feels like to navigate a pregnancy marked by nausea, migraines, and total slowdown
The story behind Jonny quitting his 6-figure job and choosing to stay home to live as an "intact" family.
Why their attempt to build a private school in rural North Carolina failed despite major investment
The surprising link between moving during COVID and outgrowing their super rural life five years later
What happens when you face a smear campaign and community fallout while running a business
How pregnancy became a catalyst for burning down what no longer fit their family and business
How Emilee chooses to question her inherited stories around scarcity and overwhelm in motherhood and walk a new path

Timestamps:

[00:00] Introduction

[09:38] Pregnancy as a catalyst for change, growth, and burning down what no longer serves

[29:22] Shifting from conventional jobs to a home-based family life for balance and connection

[50:14] Starting and ultimately closing a private school in rural North Carolina after major investment and challenges

[01:03:03] Realizing rural life no longer fits their family and beginning to reassess their future

[01:14:29] Facing a hate group and smear campaign while pregnant and running a business

[02:00:26] Preparing for a third freebirth and Jonny’s role in supporting birth and postpartum

“I Will Walk in the Creek Again” with Sister MorningStar

info@freebirthsociety.com (Emilee Saldaya) — Fri, 30 May 2025 10:00:00 -0400

To close this season, I wanted to bring you a guest whose presence and legacy transcend words, so I invited back the legendary elder midwife, @sistermorningstar.

In this powerful and intimate conversation, Sister MorningStar shares the stories of her three births, her lifelong devotion to traditional midwifery, and the extraordinary account of being put on trial for standing by a mother through a stillbirth at home. This episode is a testament to integrity, to ancestral memory, and to the unshakable fire it takes to stand for women in a culture that does not.

✨ That’s a wrap on Season Eight. Deep gratitude to every woman who has shared her story on this podcast, and to all of you who continue to witness and walk this path with us.

🌟Coming soon in Season Nine: Ask Emilee! Have a burning question? A sticky situation? A fork-in-the-road moment that needs fierce, clear guidance? Submit your question and listen in—you just might hear it answered in an upcoming episode. → Submit at freebirthsociety.com/podcast

The Olive Oil Queen’s Sovereign Birth

Mia, The Olive Oil Queen, shares her sweet story of sovereign birth as a first-time mom, supported by one of our Radical Birth Keeper graduates. Mia’s love of birth first came after witnessing a friend’s psychedelic birth at home where she was able to help care for her friend in her postpartum time. After becoming pregnant herself, Mia walked through her wild pregnancy fighting off negative comments and actualizing the truth of her higher consciousness. Through trust and intuition, she creates her simple, but not easy, dream birth.

When Freebirth Heals Your Birth Trauma

info@freebirthsociety.com (Emilee Saldaya) — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 10:00:00 -0400

“I felt like I was in hell.”

On today’s episode, Fanika shares the dehumanizing story of the birth of her first baby in a hospital in Florida. From non-consenting vaginal exams to a painful vacuum extraction birth, Fanika left her first birth feeling raped, disillusioned, and disembodied.

Robbed of her first birth and devastated to discover she had no legal recourse, Fanika finds the Free Birth Society Podcast, dives into the Complete Guide to Freebirth, and then journeys through The Radical Birth Keeper School in her second pregnancy.

The day after graduating from The RBK School, Fanika freebirths her 2nd child in simple bliss.

Birthing Outside the Medical System with Brain Tumors

info@freebirthsociety.com (Emilee Saldaya) — Fri, 10 Jan 2025 11:00:00 -0500

Brittany was diagnosed with brain tumors at the age of 20 and was told she’d never get pregnant and it was too dangerous to give birth. After seven years of failed IVF and surrogacy attempts, Brittany decided to try to get pregnant naturally, and to the surprise of all her doctors, she did. During her first birth and through the pregnancy of her second, Brittany started to reclaim her authority and trust in her own body. Brittany decided to have a sovereign birth with her third child and since then has begun untangling herself and her family from the medical system.

When Your Ancestors Tell You to Freebirth

info@freebirthsociety.com (Emilee Saldaya) — Fri, 20 Dec 2024 11:00:00 -0500

Emma spent her 20’s as an anarchist who didn’t want children, until one day she was hit with the primal need to become a mother. Through shamanic drum journeys, she heard the messages of her ancestors telling her to freebirth, telling her that they had been waiting for a woman in their lineage to call upon their support. Emma beautifully articulates her journey through her wild pregnancy, how she laughed her baby out, and had all her needs met in postpartum.

Live Show in Austin, Texas

info@freebirthsociety.com (Emilee Saldaya) — Fri, 06 Dec 2024 11:00:00 -0500

Today we are thrilled to be sharing our episode from the FIRST EVER LIVE SHOW from this past November in Austin, Texas. It was so fun to do this IRL and get to sit with my guest on stage, surrounded by so many amazing pod supporters.

This is *not* a story to miss, check it out:

An unwanted induction led Kait to a homebirth with a medical midwife for her second. In her third pregnancy, she felt ready to choose a wild pregnancy and freebirth. At 35 weeks, her birth unexpectedly began. Kait got freaked out by the amount of blood present in her birth and while her husband goes to get them ready to transfer, her daughter was born, weighing 3.5 lbs. While she waited for the placenta…her son was born. The healthy *surprise* twins quickly nursed and everyone stayed home. Kait tells the wild story of moving from surprise of twins to navigating loss of power as a hurricane pummeled Houston, Texas in the first days of her postpartum.

Rachel is an American woman living in Denmark who shares the poetic story of birthing her two sons. Her first birth was wrought with sabotage, manipulation, and abuse, which took her years to fully unpack. With the help of this very podcast, Rachel takes on the courageous task of naming what truly happened and claiming a better birth with her second. Rachel talks about her big life shift moving from birth-work in the medical system to becoming a truly sovereign birth keeper.
