Welcome to the Free Birth Podcast, a supportive space for people who are learning, exploring, and celebrating their autonomous choices in childbirths.

Together, we'll unpack truths, share personal stories, and claim our ability to birth freely and intuitively.

Here's your host, Emily Saldane.

Thank you. Do you know it's your calling to become an authentic midwife? Do you dream of attending women in birth?

Have you felt frustrated trying to be a birth worker in the system? Are you looking for a better way to walk with women in total integrity,

supporting mother-led physiological birth?

Are you dreaming of building a thriving, profitable business as a birth coach?

Well, we are thrilled to announce that enrollment for our radical

birthkeeper school is now open. Classes began June 1st, so head over to our website and get the

details. The time is now, and we need you to join us in this birth revolution.

Simone came to choose free birth from watching her own cat give birth

and tells us how it all began with the thought,

if a cat can do it, I can too.

And so she did.

Yay! This is, for me, a very long-awaited episode to be bringing into the world because, as I was saying, before we started recording that you, Simone, have one of my most favorite birth stories. Thank you. And for a little backstory, I'll say that it's kind of cute how you

and I met because you hit me up on Instagram, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Yeah.

And you had had a free birth in Mexico, which we're about to talk about, and you were in Colorado, and we went for a nice long walk and spent the day together.

And that was the start of our friendship.

Yeah, it was so great.
