FAR OUT #95 ~ Birth is Not a Medical Event, It’s a Sacred Portal: Changing our Narrative About Birth with Emilee Saldaya
Episode Description
What if women chose to stay home to give birth?
That's the radical question that's sparked a global movement. As the leader of the Free Birth Society, Emilee Saldaya is working to change our Western narrative of birth and remind us what birth is all about.
Emilee joins us on the show to talk about the untold risks and man-made trauma of birthing in our current medical system and why a woman-centered birth is so critically important for a healthy mother-baby, healthy families and a healthy society.
Let's get into it!
Listen and explore:
Birth as a rite of passage and a vehicle for transformation
How birth makes or breaks us
Why a woman-centered birth affects everything
The unexamined risks of birthing in captivity
What happens at a hospital birth
The problem with licensed midwifery
Why a natural birth is not possible outside of your home
The ways we teach woman not to trust their instincts from an early age
What kind of elder do you want to be?
