#30: Join Madi and neighbor Stacie King as they dive into the kitchen revival sweeping their neighborhood — freshly milled flour, why whole grains matter, and the practical tools that make it possible. Stacie explains how milling wheat berries at home changed her family’s digestion, allergies, energy, and even menstrual regularity, plus exactly what gear and storage tips she recommends (mills, mixers, batching, gamma lids). The episode also takes a tender turn as Stacie shares her empowering home birth experience — midwives, doulas, the fetal-ejection reflex, and why trusting your body matters. Perfect for anyone curious about baking with real food, upgrading pantry staples, or exploring gentler birth options.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why freshly milled flour = more bioavailable nutrients vs. store flour

• Practical starter gear: mills, mixers, bread machines, and storage tips

• Real health wins — digestion, allergies, menstrual cycle, energy

• Sourdough, pasta, batch-baking and family-friendly recipes

• Stacie’s home birth story: midwife care, doulas, FER (fetal ejection reflex) & recovery

• Where to buy wheat berries, mill recommendations, and recipe resources
