The Free Birth Podcast

We are opening Season Three with an incredible woman who describes her life as living spirit led, something that I deeply relate to. Ashley freebirthed her second daughter in California and then went on to freebirth twins in Costa Rica, and get this, the twins were a total surprise. We have a great conversation around the power of intention, her epiphanies with ganja, and working with source energy. Ashley tells us from a cafe in Costa Rica about the freebirth story of her twins, which she describes as experiencing ‘God Watsu’.

We are closing out season 2 with the final episode of following Kim and her freebirth journey, bringing us to today’s episode: her freebirth and fourth trimester. Be sure to go back and listen to to the previous 3 episodes that follow her wild pregnancy and prep for her upcoming birth, which includes her challenges with hyperemesis and the many lessons conscious conception, pregnancy outside the system, and impending labor taught her. 

The word that comes to my mind when I think about this week’s guest, is refreshing. Sabali is a true inspiration to me, with her deep sense of self and no bullshit attitude. In Sabali’s first birth, she was literally abandoned by her birthing team during her home birth, and therefore eventually transferred herself to find support. So when she got pregnant with her second child, she was already highly attuned to what did and didn’t feel right. So halfway through her second pregnancy, she left her providers in the system, and prepared for her freebirth.

Brandi impressed me with her self awareness, humility, and connection to truth. After a typical industrialized birth, she goes on to have a surprise breech birth, in the water, at home. Then has another child at home, midwife attended. It’s with Brandi’s fourth daughter that she decides to freebirth, in the very bus her family lives in. Brandi shares her honest journey with her many lessons, in this week’s episode.
