Show Notes
On today’s episode, freebirth legend Sarah Schmid shares the story of 10 children, 9 of them being freebirths, several born outside and a set of twins. After a midwife-attended homebirth with interference in her birth, Sarah learned that she was the only one who knew her body, and chose freebirth for her family after that. Sarah tells the epic story of her first freebirth in the forest completely alone, where she fully faced her fears.

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.
Jenna McConkey shares the intimate story of her freebirth after miscarriage and years of inner work. Jenna speaks on trust, surrender, the illusion of safety, and the subconscious beliefs that surfaced during her labor.
Two babies. Two free births. Two radically different initiations into motherhood. Liv shares the extraordinary story of trusting her body, her intuition, and her children to guide how she gave birth and built her family.
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.
Freebirth is not just about where you give birth; it can expose everything happening in your marriage, your nervous system, and your deepest beliefs about what you think you deserve. Erin shares two raw, unforgettable freebirths in upstate New York, and the second one includes a moment most couples would never survive on camera. While she is actively laboring, her husband says he wants a divorce.
