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 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 and 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 wildhearted 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.com for all of the details and to grab your ticket.

See you there, my friends.

Allyson from Australia shares her wild ride from birthing in the system, choosing IVF, then later learning she was in fact entirely fertile.

After getting dropped from her medical midwives, Allyson stepped into the big work of birthing outside of the system.

Allyson shares how she invited her previous doula into her twin home birth and the birth itself was undisturbed and rooted in total power and bliss.

Unfortunately, her birth keeper then made calls that weren't hers to make, and Allyson shares how everything then changed.

Welcome, Allyson.

Hey, thanks for having me.
