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.

Imagine a world where girls are properly initiated into their first bleed, where mothers and daughters talk freely and openly about their bodies, and where women care for themselves and each other outside the lens of medical pathology.

We can have this world, but we can't do it without you.

Kristen Hauser and Nancy Lucina are bringing the first-ever Blood Mystery School to Free Birth Society this winter, a four-month journey, alchemizing the sacred and the science of the power of the womb.

You will learn how to properly initiate and re-initiate women and girls through powerful rights of passage, support the women in your community through cycle issues, womb pain and hormonal imbalances, and take a deep dive into the spiritual and energetic components of our blood mysteries.

If you are a birth keeper, an energy healer, a postpartum, worker, an herbalist, the school is for you, and if you're a woman wanting to dive deep into your own healing for you and your lineage, the school is for you.

If you are ready to be a part of the generation of women healing the hormonal chaos and womb trauma that runs rampant in our female bodies, head over to BloodMysterySchool.com and enroll today.

We begin February 2.

Devana's pregnancy with her first son was a wake-up call to the consequences of trusting in a system that doesn't serve women.

After a traumatizing and completely unnecessary surgical birth, she found the fire within her to say never again and chose the guidance of her inner voice above all.

Today, Devana shares with us her beautiful journey of moving from confusion to courage, her process of learning how robbed she was in her first birth, and how she took all of her power back in the ecstatic dream birth of her second son attended by one of our very own radical birth keeper graduates.

Devana, Devana, yay! Hi, friend.

And yeah, hello.

Welcome to the FreeBer Society podcast.

Ah, a dream come true to be here.

It's so fun. I know we have an awesome story in store for everyone today, quite a, quite a redemptive one as all the back stories are.

So I'm just going to pass it right off to you wherever you want to start this tale of motherhood.

Okay, thank you.
