The Natural Birth Podcast

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Rose.

Rose is one of my sacred birth worker graduates and one of the longest listeners to this podcast.

It’s so fabulous to finally get to invite her onto the show.

Rose is a very private person who is active in her Brooklyn in person community, but not at all online.

She is absolutely fascinated by birth and it’s her calling to serve in this field. And what better guide and companion than a mama of 8, soon to be 9.

Rose's first baby unfortunately passed in her womb, and this is where Rose’s story starts. When she became pregnant with her next baby she went to birth in the hospital.  

And although the experience was pleasant and as natural as possible, she wished for something greater which propelled her to take the giant leap into home birth. 

Since then she has birthed all her babies at home with each birth bringing her to a unique journey of surrender and growth.

It’s not every day that you get to listen to a mamas 8 birth stories.
I hope you will thoroughly enjoy all her birthing wisdom.

Since Rose is not on social media you can find her whatsapp details & email in the show notes if you’re curious about connecting with her

As mentioned, Rose is an OG Natural Birth Podcast listener, who’s listened from the very first month I started this podcast over 6 years ago.

I love that some of you are hardcore birth nerds and loyal listeners, and maybe you are one of these OG listeners like Rose.

And maybe it’s because you have this insatiable hunger to learn everything about pregnancy and birth and just want to be in this energy all the time?

I know that when Rose finally took the step and followed her inner calling into birth work she told me she’d been thinking about it for years, listening to the invites each round until one day finally deciding it was time.

Because to be honest, if you are waiting for the right time to follow your inner longing and calling it might just never happen… because let’s face it, life happens all the time, and it’s usually always a lot. And we can always find excuses about time, money, life circumstances, etc. 

But if a working mama of 7 can do it, there really is no real excuse. It’s just a priority. To prioritize your dream, your calling and leaning into the unknown and trusting just like in birth, that you are going to be cared for by the great mystery of life in following your passion and purpose.

If this rings true to you, the doors are now open for the next round of the sacred birth worker mentorship starting on the 21st of September.

The early bird offer is now activated so all the more reason to decide to take the leap of faith and follow your heart's longing!

Now let’s dive into Rose's amazing birth stories.

This week on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Kate.

Kate is a mother raising three wild and beautiful boys amongst barefoot days, intentional family living, and the everyday magic of home in northern NSW Australia. In the area I used to live.

She is deeply passionate about soulful birth, motherhood, ritual, connection, and creating a life that feels soft, grounded, and true.

In this episode, Kate shares her journey through birth and motherhood, how each pregnancy deepened her trust in herself, and how following her inner voice led her toward an incredibly intuitive and empowering free birth experience.

Her journey started out with her first baby immersing herself in her midwifes knowledge to by her third feeling the pull to birth just with her family around.

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Kirsty.
Kirsty is a mama of two from the Scottish Highlands and it’s her second time on the natural birth podcast.
Her first time ended up being the episode called “Cholestasis and Rh negative First Time Mama Kirsty’s Home Birth in Rural Scotland”.
In that episode she discussed how she naturally medicated her cholestasis diagnosis and in today's episode she will share what she did to prevent getting it again during her second pregnancy, as well as the story of the birth of her second baby which was a rapid 2hr 20min labour and birth.
It resulted in Kirsty birthing her baby alone with just her husband at home in front of the fire because the midwives didn't make it on time.
Although it was an unplanned free birth it was a wonderful experience and the perfect way to welcome their little one into the family.
