I have been afraid to made this episode for the fear of judgement but I try so hard to not live my life in fear..... so I had to do the hard, scary choice: share my heart no matter the judgement. I have been in relationship with Yeshua for ~14 years without religion because I truly believe we can forge our own unique paths, even if it's the road less traveled, or the road that is criticized.
"I have been calling to you, Beloved. Within the still, quiet moments of Peace in your heart. The moment has come to set down your burdens so that you can remember what it is to be fully seen, heard, held, and Loved. Let us walk together on this journey to Divine Freedom." -Yeshua, The Freedom Transmissions
The books that I mention in the episode are: "Anna, Grandmother of Jesus," "Magdalene's Well," "The Magdalene Manuscript," and "The Freedom Transmissions."

Emily (@leorisingbirthkeeping) is back for her second episode talking all things maidenhood! Emily and Lea discuss various topics related to the sacredness of a woman's body, the intentionality and discernment needed in regards to sexual intimacy with men, and how women often give their body to men to fulfill emotional needs like being desired/chosen/special. They share their experiences with freeze and fight responses and how they communicate their needs to their partners in relationship. Emily speaks about conscious wedding planning and how the engagement phase is her preconception phase for marriage and motherhood. They emphasize the importance of honoring the feminine energy and cycles, including the practice of freebleeding.
Emily and Lea also have a conversation from last year, Season 2: "Stepping into Mature, Mother Energy as a Maiden with Emily Bruce"

Miriam (@htmbirth on instagram) shares her experience with her husband's porn addiction and their journey towards healing and rebuilding trust. She bravely and openly shares the steps they took to rebuild trust, including open communication, accountability measures, and the use of software like Covenant Eyes. Miriam emphasizes the importance of both prayer AND action in overcoming addiction, the role of community, and the need for men to have other men as accountability partners.
Note: Porn addiction story episodes are some of the most popular episodes on this podcast and it's because of people like Miriam (and past guests) who are willing to be courageous to help others in this current life struggle. Therefore, I encourage anyone touched by certain episodes to write to the guest via Instagram to thank them for their courage, so that they know speaking on this podcast was beneficial and worth it... even though its usually terrifying! Thank you!

Celena Martin (@ceeingyouthrough) is a doula, wife, and mother to her son. She shares her incredible story of waiting two years until she became pregnant, with God giving her an astounding dream the day she conceived, that plays a pivotal, essential role in her birth story. She did not partake in common medical surveillance throughout her pregnancy, until her body showed her a symptom to seek help. Celena's story is an example of using intuition to guide our decisions, being still when we are called to be still... taking action when we are called to take action... and utilizing the medical system in birth when there is a medical need!

Audrey Ross, (@ajoyfulbirth) a mother of five, birthkeeper, birth prep coach, and a freebirthing woman, shares a condensed version of her life trials that led her to true freedom. She overcame an eating disorder, detoxed off of ~11 Big Pharma medications, healed constant panic attacks, and learned the true power of her mind to finally become her authentic, true self! Audrey had "infertility" for about 10 years with another 5 year lapse of not conceiving later on, but went on to naturally conceive four children. She shares her prophetic dreams from God, being led to foster and adopt children, and how her first two birth experiences led her to freebirth. We talk about how the Mind is the most overlooked component to birth and how when we hire a birth attendant for birth, we are also hiring their subconscious mind with all of their fears! We also discuss German New Medicine and Audrey's current pregnancy.

Adelaide Meadow (@adelaidemeadow_) is a traditional birth attendant, female physiology academic, and she owns a well woman care practice, addressing a wide variety of pelvic health concerns. In this conversation, we hear Adelaide's personal story of being in a coma and breaking her pelvis (and many other bones) from a bike accident in her 20's.
She also discusses her latest course Born Through Movement, a study of birth biomechanics, prenatal movement, and actionable ways to support the baby's pathway through the pelvis. This course helps support a woman's pelvis to create space for the baby to move in the womb and during the birth process. "A mother's tension is a baby's tension." For 10% off the course, please use the code LEA10
This conversation covers many topics including: the influence of maternal tissues on baby positioning in the womb, why epidurals help some mothers to birth vaginally, the role of fascial tissue in breastfeeding issues, and some practical advice for managing a sedentary lifestyle.
Included with the purchase of the Born Through Movement course are monthly live calls with Adelaide Meadow and Mandy Verghese, licensed midwife and prenatal bodyworker. They will lead collaborative discussions on topics such as breech, OP babies, nuchal hands, postural habits and how they impact birth patterns, licensed versus unlicensed midwifery, and how to positively impact birth outcomes through bodywork.

Priscilla, a Christian and homeschooling mother of five, shares how her unstable childhood allowed her to intentionally create a home life with stability for her five children. She explains how the shame she felt getting pregnant before marriage at 19 years old, stayed within her body, feeling the deep shame with every pregnancy, years later. Priscilla also speaks about the joy of the teenage years and how important it is to teach young adults about financial responsibility. We also speak about the current reality of many millennial women who went into financial debt because of college, realizing later on that they wish they could stay home with their babies, but it's not possible because of school debt.
