What if birth wasn’t something to fear—but something to trust? Join Isaac and Alexa as they sit down with Sophia Baraldi to explore her deeply personal journey into free birth, natural pregnancy preparation, and trusting the body’s innate wisdom. Sophia shares the story of her home free birth with twins, the mindset shifts that helped her release fear during pregnancy, and the inner work she believes is the most important preparation for birth. Rather than focusing only on physical preparation, Sophia emphasizes the emotional, relational, and spiritual work that supports a woman through pregnancy and childbirth. She opens up about learning to trust her body, strengthening her relationship with her partner, and leaning into the intensity of birth instead of resisting it. The conversation also explores how modern culture shapes our perception of birth—from dramatic hospital portrayals in movies to the lack of community support that women once had. Sophia shares why she chose to publicly share parts of her birth experience online and how seeing real birth stories helped empower her own journey. Whether you’re expecting a baby, considering alternative birth options, or simply curious about different approaches to pregnancy and parenting, this episode invites listeners to rethink what birth can look like when women are supported, informed, and empowered.
About Sophia: Sophia (aka Raw Milk and Honey) is a mother of three whose work centres on radical self-responsibility and questioning widely accepted narratives around health, birth, and history. Her journey began when she healed longstanding symptoms through an animal-based diet, awakening her to the conditioning surrounding foods like fat and raw milk. As she continued exploring these ideas and questioning things like germ theory, she chose to birth her children at home, culminating in a surprise free-birth of twins with only her husband present. Today, Sophia supports pregnant women to take ownership of their birth experiences through coaching, resources, and women’s circles, while also running a family business focused on nourishing the body through high-quality products for detoxification and remineralisation.
Key Takeaways: 1. Birth preparation begins long before labor. 2. Your support system matters. 3. Modern birth culture shapes our fears. 4. Seeing real birth stories can be empowering. 5. Community support is essential for mothers. 6. Every birth journey is unique.

In a world obsessed with extracting active compounds and finding the next miracle supplement, what if the real medicine lies in slowing down, paying attention, and rebuilding our relationship with the natural world? In this episode, Isaac & Alexa sit down with herbalist, educator, and medicine maker Kyle Denton to explore a radically different way of understanding health, healing, and our relationship with the natural world. Kyle shares the remarkable journey that led him into working with plants and explains why true herbalism is about far more than just plant chemistry—it’s about relationship, observation, story, and the living intelligence of nature. From tea and tobacco to onions, asthma, and the doctrine of signatures, this episode challenges the reductionist view of health and invites listeners to reconnect with a more intuitive, holistic understanding of healing. Key Takeaways: * The difference between handcrafted herbal medicine & mass-produced supplements * How intention, prayer, and the maker’s energy become part of the medicine * Why seasonal living and local plants often provide exactly what the body needs * A different way of understanding health through the energetics of plants rather than isolated compounds * Traditional uses of herbs like onions and tobacco & what modern culture often misunderstands about them * How stories, symbolism, and mythology can teach us more about herbal medicine than memorising chemical constituents * The role of mindset, personal responsibility, and working with the body instead of against it This episode is a fascinating exploration of the timeless wisdom found in nature and how modern science often overlooks the deeper qualities that make plants so powerful. Whether you’re new to medicinal plants or have been studying them for years, Kyle offers a refreshing perspective that encourages curiosity, discernment, and a deeper relationship with the living world. About Kyle: Kyle Denton is a Wisconsin-based herbalist, educator, and founder of Tippecanoe Herbs, Root Radical Herbal Academy, and the Resonature Podcast. Blending Traditional Western Herbalism, Ayurveda, and the wisdom of myth and nature, he helps people reconnect with the healing intelligence of plants and their own innate vitality. Beyond the clinic and herb shop, Kyle is a devoted husband and father who believes true wellness begins with living in harmony with nature. https://tippecanoeherbs.com 👍🏼 If you enjoyed this episode, please like, share, and subscribe wherever you are listening or watching, and follow us on socials! 🌱 GET 10% OFF at naturalartform.com using code NATURALAF10 at checkout (and don’t forget to join our mailing list!) 🔗 Natural AF Links & Aligned Affiliates: linktr.ee/naturalaf
Two women with very different spiritual backgrounds, yet strikingly aligned truths, come together to explore the true nature of the spirit realm and what’s actually happening on earth right now. In this power-packed episode, Isaac & Alexa are joined by returning guests, Rachel Vaughan and Dotti Janssen, for a roundtable conversation that is as personal as it is profound. Together they unpack the unseen forces shaping human consciousness, the truth behind the rapture and ascension, and what it really means to walk in spiritual authority in a world that is rapidly waking up. Drawing on decades of lived experience, hard-won wisdom, and personal encounters with the spirit realm, Rachel and Dotti share their own remarkable stories — from astral assignments in war-torn countries to healing from satanic ritual abuse — exemplifying the extraordinary capacity for healing and transformation available to all of us when we learn to walk in our true power. In this episode: * The massive frequency upgrade underway on Earth — what it means, who the ‘ushers’ are, and why there is genuine reason for optimism * The real meaning of the rapture and ascension, and how religion has distorted what is actually an ongoing spiritual experience * Astral travel, lucid dreaming, and dreams as portals * How to discern what is happening when you move in the spirit realm, what potential dangers lurk there, and how to energetically protect yourself * The “false Kundalini spirit” operating over Byron Bay, why the New Age movement is a sham, and how to tell the difference between genuine spiritual gifts and deception * The reincarnation question: Rachel and Dotti offer different perspectives on soul contracts, choosing your lifetime, and what happens between lives About Rachel: Rachel Vaughan is a whistle-blower, researcher, public speaker, and childhood survivor of satanic ritual abuse and MK Ultra mind control programming. She is also a psychic medium with 21 years of professional reading experience, as well as a lifetime of interactions with the spirit world.
