Ending Generational Trauma Cycles with Freebirth the free birth podcast Aug 29, 2022

This week on the show we have Sasha, who tells us the story of how she paved the way for the rest of her lineage, how she learned to trust herself, and checked herself out of the hospital, in labor, to have her baby at home.

We discuss figuring out breastfeeding, the difficulties that can arise during those early postpartum weeks, and how birthing in power has the ability to end cycles of generational trauma, and set a new precedent for all of our sons and daughters.

Birthing at home? The C...

From Fear to Freedom birthing truth: a collection of freebirth stories Aug 28, 2022

"It was April 6th, 2022, Gregory’s guess date. A warm and windy spring day in Sedona. The trees and flowers around our property were just starting to bloom.

The morning was kind of a blur- just riding the waves of birth and trying to rest between the really intense sensations. I had been up all night with surges getting more and more strong.

After trying to figure out what was happening and what I was going to do, I felt abandoned. I felt so lost on what to do and scared about the possibi...

The night before my daughter was born, I began to feel contractions while nursing my son to sleep. As soon as he was sleeping, I set up my yoga ball and started to bounce on it and breathe gently through each sensation. It took me a while to fully commit to myself that it was definitely the start of labor, because, while still contractions, these were incredibly mild.

It all felt like such a calm and relaxed environment, and I was full of joy and anticipation. We went to bed and I brought ...

Birthing in Freedom and Power- Lyra's Freebirth Story birthing truth: a collection of freebirth stories Aug 28, 2022

"I didn’t know the term freebirth or even that it was an actual practice until halfway through my pregnancy. When I first found out I was about 4 weeks pregnant, it came as a surprise to me and my then-separated partner. I was nervous, disappointed, angry, and hurt. My family had only ever expressed a negative perspective on pregnancy and I knew they would only fear for me.

Intuitively, I knew I didn’t want to attend a hospital or get checked out- and with a past history of pain and lack of suppo...
