After a birth with many interventions, ending in a cesarean, Tamika’s first baby spent a harrowing time in the NICU.

When enough time had passed for Tamika to process this experience and heal, she was able to release the heavy weight of guilt she carried.

With a deeper trust in her body, she chose to conceive again and gave birth to her second baby, at 43 weeks, in the comfort of her own home.

Kaylee’s first birth experience ended in a cesarean, after having been dropped by her midwives’ care for going over 40 weeks. She partially credits the events of 2020 as being a huge awakening for her, so when she became pregnant again she knew she no longer wanted to engage with the medical system, and planned a free birth.

When she went into labor with that baby, what transpired was a six day long ordeal, with many twists and turns, reasons and opportunities to give up, but she never did.

This is officially the wildest story I’ve ever shared - and that’s saying something!

Here is a link to Kaylee’s YouTube channel and birth video!

Every now and then a story takes a twist I am not expecting during the interview - and it always makes for an even better story than the one I thought I would hear! This episode is a perfect example of that.

Rebecca shares two birth stories with us. First, a traumatic, unnecessarian (major kudos to whoever coined that term), and a redemptive, led by faith freebirth.

It is the extraordinary experiences around that second birth that gets us into talking about spiritual warfare, the spirit realm, and the truth that birth is designed to be a holy experience.

Check out Rebecca’s instagram for many beautiful reels that show images of her births @theradiantmission

After a failed induction, a very long bout of prodromal labor, and getting ultimately kicked out of her birthing center, Ita’s first baby was born surgically, under general anesthesia, in Bali. After this birth experience, Ita had a hard time bonding with her daughter, and they struggled with their breastfeeding relationship.

After that first tough year, and a move to the US, Ita became pregnant with her second baby. And as the pregnancy progressed, Ita felt increasingly called to freebirth this baby despite having initially hired a midwife.

At 43 weeks and four days gestation (!) Ita birthed her baby in the sovereignty and safety of her own home. At the time of this recording, which was only 6 weeks postpartum, Ita says she can’t wait to give birth again.

What if breech birth is not the inherent emergency we are conventionally told, but rather, an expression of intelligent, deeply empathic, communication between mother and baby?

Jess shares her three birth stories with us  - actually four, as we begin with her own -  all of which carry the through line of breech presenting babies and maternal communication.

This is another one of those stories where ancestral and matrilineal healing come from a powerful reclamation of what it means to birth in sovereignty.

Andrea’s first birth experience is a perfect example of what it can look like when your midwives work for the state, not you.

After a traumatic cesarean birth, she was determined to birth her second baby at home.

Unfortunately (or maybe, fortunately?) no one in her province you could offer her the kind of support she needed, so she birthed that baby with just her partner as support.

That birth was a firewalk, but in it, she found the connection to her ancestors that wasn’t present the first time when she called on them for support. She could feel them witnessing her in this powerful act of reclamation.

Around the one hour mark, Andrea mentions a few resources that were really helpful along her journey to free birth.

1. Christine Murphy - you can find her on instagram @wildwomanmothering

2. Yolande Norris Clark - www.freebirth.ca and on instagram @bauhauswife

3. Freebirth Society’s The Complete Guide to Freebirth online course - link

This is a black, practicing attorney's, perspective on ADOS. There is a movement/organization/lineage called ADOS. While I support the ADOS people, I do not support the way the movement has operated. This movement will lead to the downfall of many black people. Unless ADOS changes course, they will eventually be branded and destroyed by the American Government. Don't dismiss the advice unless you are willing to fight, lose, and suffer the consequences of this group. Tone and Yvette are leading people to the slaughter.

There will be some that will dislike this video or even many that may, that is perfectly fine. However, I cannot just allow black people to be misinformed when there is too much at stake. Do not listen to this with an innate bias. This is NOT intended to derail or hinder the objective of the ADOS movement, it is a critique that should be taken seriously.

In here I also, briefly, discuss my support for the Byron Allen Case. It is imperative that people support this case. Comcast is trying to change the standard necessary to bring a case under the 1866 Civil Rights act. If they succeed this will make it virtually impossible to sue under it. This has nothing to do with how you feel about ADOS, Byron Allen, or any peripheral issue. This has to do with preserving this civil rights act.
