Welcome to the Freebirth Podcast, a supportive space for people who are learning, exploring,

and celebrating their autonomous choices in childbirth.

Together, while unpacked truths, share personal stories, and claim our ability to birth freely

and intuitively.

Here's your host, Emily Saldaya.

I have a very special episode for you today.

My friend Anita has a podcast called The Midwitch, and she recently created a gorgeous

and beyond-powerful reading of a piece of writing titled Herstory.

The author of this writing is Jane Hardwick Collings, who was recently a guest on the show

discussing blood mysteries. When I heard this episode created by Anita written by Jane,

I knew it had to be shared here, far and wide, as I wish for every woman and every man

on this planet to hear this, to take it in, to listen to these words, to cry with us, and to do

better. So with Anita's and Jane's blessings, I am sharing with you today Herstory.

You may want to be somewhere quiet and private when you listen to this so that you can really

take it all in as it is sure to rock you.

mother nature. If you would like to delve deeper into the offerings that I provide, jump onto
