Show Notes
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.

Grace shares the story of choosing a wild pregnancy and freebirth, transferring to the hospital during labor, and discovering after the birth that she had been carrying twins. She recounts the loss of one baby, the NICU stay of his surviving twin, and the family’s efforts to navigate grief and hospital care while honoring their boundaries. Grace also reflects on faith, motherhood after loss, and the birth of her daughter in a later pregnancy. This is a story that sits with the complexity of grief and how love, praise, and heartache coexist.
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.
