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 Thalda

it's been a wild freedom child since I left my roots back home

imagine dancing under the stars surrounded by your sisters barefoot and free completely immersed in the here and the now

imagine a place where you can play laugh and howl under the big bright moon

here you can let your guard down and come back to the essence of your wild womanhood

if you've never attended a woman only event before let me tell you it's pure magic

and so I am thrilled to announce that the third annual matriarch rising festival will be taking place June 20th through the 25th in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina

the matriarch rising festival is an exclusive women only event that cultivates a sanctuary for mothers daughters and sisters to celebrate womanhood year after year

our mission is to preserve the practice of sharing women to women wisdom and inspire one another to claim ownership over ourselves as sovereign and spiritual beings

beginning with our closely knit welcoming staff our core design of community is woven throughout the entire festival

matriarch rising festival is a coming home to ourselves a safe and playful arena for the wild-hearted woman to let her guard down to find deep kinship and return to her daily life renewed

tickets are officially on sale and they will sell out so head over to matriarch rising festival dot com for all of the details and to grab your ticket

see you there my friends

today I bring you doctor Rebecca Cohen's wild journey from indoctrination into the obstetric system to serving as a radical holistically hearted birth keeper

after almost dropping out of medical school several times during her training and residency Rebecca finally got through the hazing process and became known as the natural OB

after having her own children Rebecca decided to step away from her career and when she was ready to serve women again years later in a different way

she found the radical birth keeper school

I am glad to be here or should I say doctor Cohen I am so glad to have you here this is really exciting we've had I think one that comes to mind I hope I'm not forgetting anyone one other OBGYN
