Into the wild I'm going, into the wild I am, it's been a wild freedom child since I left my roots back home.

Into the wild I'm going, into the wild I am, it's been a wild freedom child since I left my roots back home.

Welcome to the Free Birth Society podcast. This is a radical space for women who are ready to celebrate their autonomous choices in birth, motherhood, and beyond.

Together, we'll learn about wild birth through personal narrative, we'll explore the politics of birth, and we'll analyze everything that relates to our lives as women from a feminist perspective.

Here's your host Emily Salda.

Hello women. Wow, I'm so happy to be back with you all again. Welcome, welcome to season six.

Returning to this podcast season after season is such a fun part of my life, and I'm just in a constant state of awe watching the impact of these stories as they spread across our beautiful planet and throughout women kind.

Every day I'm reminded of how women's stories have the power to change the lives for so many other women and their families.

So thank you. Thank you for being here with me. The tides are truly shifting for the better. I see it.

I'll share a quick life update with you before we dive into our first episode of our sixth season.

So since you last heard from me back in May, it's been pretty non-stop over here. I know I say that all the time.

The second annual May truck rising festival over summer solstice was bigger and better than the year prior, and I got to experience it while being so very pregnant.

It's pretty surreal to me that next year I'll have a baby in my arms the next time we all gather.

Our staff size doubled. So it made the whole thing just so much easier and there were so many highlights.

But one of them was laying in bed on Wednesday the day before we DJed and Hannah Grace and I learning how to DJ the whole day.

And then headlining the last night of the party of the festival as a DJ duo that we call Moonlit Yoni. It was really, really fun.

And watching my mom and my sister experience the festival was so much joy and integration and of course meeting so many women that I've known from online in real life.

It was all just it's such a dream.

The families that live around us have been settling into this sweet little community that we are co-creating here and it feels so good to have my sisters around me supporting me and my family during this pregnancy.

And don't worry you'll get to hear all about my birth later in the season however it manifests as well as a 40 week wrap up with my husband Johnny.

We're going to do that again like we did with our first daughter.

My daughter speaking of her Sunie is in such a sweet phase of life and is just so excited to meet her little baby.
