À propos du podcast
The Free Birth Society Podcast features honest, gripping, inspiring, and transformative freebirth stories hosted by the founder Emilee Saldaya in conversation with wild women worldwide. In the vast tapestry of childbirth experiences, a thread runs undisturbed, unmedicated, and true to its ancestral roots: freebirth. This differs from your usual home birth with doulas or midwives in attendance. Freebirth stands apart, where birthing is solely in the hands of the birthing woman, accompanied only by her intuition, rhythms of nature, witnessed by her family. The Free Birth Podcast invites you to a unique corner of the universe where we dive deep into the raw essence of birth, untamed and unassisted. Pushing against the tides of modern obstetrics and its violent approach, we venture into stories of women who've boldly chosen to claim this primal rite of passage. Here, we're not merely sharing tales; we're challenging the status quo and redefining the very narrative of childbirth. As we unravel discussions on rights in childbirth, dissect varied care models, and amplify the unfiltered voices of freebirthing women from around the planet, our purpose remains clear: to spotlight the distinction and significance of wild birth. This isn't an argument against the myriad ways women choose to birth, but rather an affirmation that freebirth has its revered space in the continuum of birth choices. Join us in celebrating a movement that underscores the powerful message and has changed the lives of thousands: Birth, in its purest form, is not a medical event but a profoundly personal journey. The Free Birth Society Podcast is your compass to navigate and rediscover that journey. *Freebirth = Birthing in the absence of any hired professionals, away from medical institutions or their agents. Also known as family birth, unassisted birth, wild birth. *Sovereign birth = Birthing outside of the medical paradigm, inclusive of births with authentic midwives and doulas. We include many stories on the show where women birthed outside of the medical system with doulas and radical birth keepers. While these births are not freebirths, they are certainly sovereign births!

Notes de l’épisode
Jenna McClelland joins Emilee to discuss how a vivid dream about a newborn’s circumcision led her to speak publicly about the practice and support men who are processing their experiences. Jenna shares her spiritual and metaphysical perspective on circumcision, trauma and what she calls the “divine masculine,” as well as how she approaches healing work with men, women and couples.
The conversation also explores free birth, the meaning Jenna finds in birth and the elements, and whether shifting from opposition toward a vision of healing and restoration can open new possibilities. Emilee and Jenna reflect on grief, choice, trauma, relationships and the different beliefs they bring to these subjects.

Notes de l’épisode
Amy spent years training to become a registered midwife in Ontario, Canada. Along the way, she lost her second baby after an extremely premature birth. She went back to school and then into practice while still grieving, and she started to see how standard protocols were affecting the very women she wanted to serve. She chose to walk away.
In this episode, Amy shares how her own difficult pregnancy and hospital experience shaped what she understands about care and consent, and about the limits midwives work within. She and Emilee talk about grief, her later freebirth, the myth of the “unicorn midwife,” and the tension between caring for women personally and following professional rules.

Rare Doesn’t Mean Never: A Freebirth Uterine Rupture Story

Notes de l’épisode
When Jules planned a freebirth for her fourth baby, she did everything she could to prepare. She took the course, spoke with an experienced independent midwife, and talked through the signs of uterine rupture with a former midwife. After two and a half days of labor, she sensed something was wrong and insisted on going in. Her uterus had ruptured, and an emergency cesarean saved both her baby and her uterus.
In this episode, Jules walks Emilee through all four of her births. Her first was a breech baby at 36 weeks, and her second was a planned cesarean that left her traumatized. Her son’s serious illness as a baby started to change how she saw the system. For her third, she planned a home birth with the NHS home birth team, but the pressure built as she went past 42 weeks. Worn down, she accepted a vaginal exam and eventually transferred to hospital after about 30 hours of labor. Then came her fourth birth, and the moment she listened to her body when it mattered most.

Notes de l’épisode
Olivia walked out of a hospital ten years ago and decided she would never go back. When she got pregnant in 2023, freebirth was simply the next step. Then her first pregnancy went to 45 weeks. She had shared her dates with tens of thousands of followers; her parents were afraid, and in those final weeks she was on her hands and knees, praying and asking herself if she had gotten it all wrong.
In this episode, Olivia shares both of her births: a 40-plus hour first labor that challenged her and her husband, and a second birth at 39 weeks that lasted six to seven hours and left her laughing. We talk about how she set a calm, clear boundary with her parents, why she built her birth around the experience she wanted, what it has cost her to share her story publicly, and why she believes hard does not mean wrong.

Notes de l’épisode
Gabrielle shares her two unassisted births, from a casual, confident mountain birth to an intense hot tub labor, and what trusting her body's natural rhythm taught her both times. Along the way, she talks about building a real women's circle, the kind that shows up with groceries and childcare, not just encouragement. This one is for anyone questioning mainstream birth norms and curious about what becomes possible when a woman stops managing her body and starts trusting it.

Notes de l’épisode
The difference between a managed birth and a truly lived one can change everything. Gracie shares how a pregnancy that began with fear, false alarms, and a medical system that never seemed to stop escalating led her to question what she was actually consenting to - and what women lose when they hand over their authority. From a terrifying early call about spina bifida markers that turned out to be wrong, to a midwife who opened labor with criticism instead of care, Gracie’s first birth exposes how easily pregnant women can be steered, managed, and emotionally destabilized. But her second pregnancy and freebirth tell a radically different story.

Notes de l’épisode
The advice to “just trust the system” falls apart fast when you’ve already been gaslit by doctors, pressured toward induction, and made to feel like your own body can’t be trusted. Jasmine shares the full arc from her first hospital birth, and the quiet unease that followed, to the radically different freebirth that changed how she sees motherhood, power, and herself.
She opens up about a messy first pregnancy, an OB-led experience that included pressure around size, a threatened induction at 39 weeks, and the claustrophobic feeling of being managed instead of supported. But the deeper story is what happened after birth: postpartum isolation, dark thoughts she was too afraid to say out loud, and the people-pleasing pattern that kept her suffering silently.
Then everything shifts. In her next pregnancy, Jasmine finds Free Birth Society, devours hundreds of hours of podcast stories, and starts to imagine something she never thought possible: having her baby at home, without a midwife, on purpose.

Notes de l’épisode
In this deeply honest conversation, Danielle shares the full arc of her journey into motherhood, from a medically managed first birth that left her feeling unprepared and disoriented, to a transformative freebirth experience that changed everything.
She opens up about navigating a C-section, postpartum, medicalized motherhood, working in the OR, and the emotional process of undoing old beliefs while preparing for a VBAC and eventually choosing wild pregnancy and freebirth. What unfolds is a powerful story of self-responsibility, healing, and reclaiming trust in the body.
Danielle reflects on the support that helped her shift her perspective, the intensity of labor, the beauty of meeting her baby at home, and the complex postpartum emotions that followed.
This episode is a moving reminder that growth is not linear, birth is not one-size-fits-all, and every woman’s experience deserves space, honesty, and reverence.

Notes de l’épisode
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.

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.

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.

Notes de l’épisode
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.

Notes de l’épisode
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.

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.

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
