Description
The Free Birth Society Podcast features honest, gripping, inspiring, and transformative freebirth stories hosted by the founder Emilee Saldaya in conversation with wild women worldwide.
In the vast tapestry of childbirth experiences, a thread runs undisturbed, unmedicated, and true to its ancestral roots: freebirth. This differs from your usual home birth with doulas or midwives in attendance. Freebirth stands apart, where birthing is solely in the hands of the birthing woman, accompanied only by her intuition, rhythms of nature, witnessed by her family.
The Free Birth Podcast invites you to a unique corner of the universe where we dive deep into the raw essence of birth, untamed and unassisted. Pushing against the tides of modern obstetrics and its violent approach, we venture into stories of women who've boldly chosen to claim this primal rite of passage. Here, we're not merely sharing tales; we're challenging the status quo and redefining the very narrative of childbirth.
As we unravel discussions on rights in childbirth, dissect varied care models, and amplify the unfiltered voices of freebirthing women from around the planet, our purpose remains clear: to spotlight the distinction and significance of wild birth. This isn't an argument against the myriad ways women choose to birth, but rather an affirmation that freebirth has its revered space in the continuum of birth choices.
Join us in celebrating a movement that underscores the powerful message and has changed the lives of thousands: Birth, in its purest form, is not a medical event but a profoundly personal journey.
The Free Birth Society Podcast is your compass to navigate and rediscover that journey.
*Freebirth = Birthing in the absence of any hired professionals, away from medical institutions or their agents. Also known as family birth, unassisted birth, wild birth.
*Sovereign birth = Birthing outside of the medical paradigm, inclusive of births with authentic midwives and doulas. We include many stories on the show where women birthed outside of the medical system with doulas and radical birth keepers. While these births are not freebirths, they are certainly sovereign births!

Sarah is a mother of six. In this episode, she walks Emilee through every one of her births. They range from an Indiana birth center, to home birth with a midwife, to freebirth, and one unplanned hospital transfer. She talks about growing up feeling she had to "do it all" and discovering that all she wanted was to be a mom. She also shares how six births changed her marriage, her health and how she sees the world. Along the way she and Emilee talk about the pressure of due-date deadlines, birth interventions, trusting your own body, and extending grace to yourself, whatever path you choose.If you want to connect with Sarah, follow her on Instagram at @sarah.pion~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Introducing LEMONADE, my newest training program.Six months, live, with me.

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.If you want to connect with Gabby, follow her on Instagram at @humble.hill.homestead.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Join us for a Free Live Masterclass with Emilee Saldaya - ‘LET THEM TALK: How to Speak Your Truth When People Are Going to Hate It’ on Wednesday, October 28 at 12 pm EST.
