Season 4 of the Podcast is just around the corner!

This year I have a low-key goal to get episodes out on the same day each week - but as a busy Birthworker supporting Maine families, and homeschool mom, sometimes life has other plans! 😅🥰

Rest assured, I’ll be bringing you lots more incredible Maine birth stories as well as honest conversations with so many incredible birth professionals - even if the schedule isn’t perfect.

I accept ALL types of birth stories, from hospitals to home and everything in-between, the only requirement is that at least one of your stories is a Maine Birth Story.

The days are long but the years are short! ✨💗

Happy new year friends!

2025 was definitely a year of shedding old layers and sifting through deception to reveal what’s really hiding beneath the surface.

This year my top downloaded episodes all exposed the truth about the FreeBirth Society Scam - peeling back the glossy marketing to show the real risks of approaching birth with dogmatic views, their hidden agendas, and the outright wrong information about birth that this company was sharing as absolute truth.

Separating the beautiful idea of freebirth which can be a perfectly good option for a family that chooses that - fully informed with correct information - versus the dogmatic ideology pushed by the company known as The FreeBirth Society was the underlying theme of all of these episodes.

And while these stories topped the downloads, I of course want to also celebrate all of the amazing Maine moms who shared their incredible birth stories this year - whether hospital, birth center, or home birth.

Each story is SO important to share, and adds richness and depth to our collective understanding of what birth can be.

Thank you to every mom who trusted me to witness and hold space for your journey - all of your different stories inspire, empower, and remind us all that how we birth truly matters. ✨💗

I already have lots of incredible episodes recorded for Season 4, which will be starting in just a couple weeks.

This year has been a wild ride of uncovering the truth, supporting women’s autonomy, and challenging the narratives we’re told.

Thank you for being part of this journey, I’m so grateful for all of you! ✨💗

Every birth is a sacred act of the creation of family.

When fathers fully embrace their role - regardless of where you plan to birth - they help birth not just a baby, but a whole new chapter of love and connection that lasts forever. ✨💕

How you are treated in these moments - matters!

Dads hold the charge for birth ✨✨✨✨✨

Birth is about the creation of family, and when a dad shows up with presence, strength and steady support, it can be the anchor that guides you through the waves of labor.

When he remains calm, present and trusting, he helps create a space where you can surrender into your power.

A father’s role isn’t just physical support - it’s emotional, spiritual, and deeply rooted in his commitment to you and your baby.

When a father holds that charge with love and respect, birth becomes a shared sacred transformation.

In Episode 143 of I chat with Alannah and her husband Cam about how their relationship has evolved since the traumatic birth of their first son, through to the healing freebirth of their twins.

These episodes highlight that the system is not just about medicine, it’s about division. Hospital protocols and medical practices often create distance and misunderstanding, and the aftermath of these experiences can (and often do) tear families apart.

When the system prioritizes protocols over connection, it’s the family that pays the massive price.

There are moments in life that really matter - being born, giving birth, dying.. these moments are the essence of what it means to be human.

So while we’re going through these deeply human experiences - moments that shape us and those around us forever - and we’re de-humanized or betrayed by the people around us, the impact can be profound.

When we are at our most vulnerable and our most dependent and we come with trust looking for support, and instead face dehumanization or betrayal the impact is long lasting.

During these sacred moments, authentic support and respect for personal autonomy are incredibly important.

After Alannah’s first three hospital birth experiences, she dreamed of a supportive home birth with an experienced midwife - but… due to licensure laws enacted in 2020, licensed midwives in Maine are no longer allowed to attend twin home births.

So when Alannah found out she was expecting twins, her only option for a home birth was to go it alone.

Her choice to trust her body and her babies, build her own support network, and follow her instincts - is a testament to the importance of honoring women’s sovereignty, even when the system tries to limit our options.

How we birth matters - and how we treat each other in these moments truly matters SO much! ✨💕

In a world of rules and restrictions, Alannah chose a little rebellion - because how we birth matters. 💕

She made a conscious decision to trust her body and her instincts, even when the system (the hospital and licensed home birth midwifery) tried to steer her in a different direction.

Alannah’s twin freebirth was a bold act of sovereignty, rewriting the story that twin birth has to look a certain way.

When we are supported in leading with our intuition and choosing what feels right, we’re able to create stories that honor our strength and autonomy.

How we birth isn’t just a moment - it’s a reflection of who we are and the power we hold.

In part one of the Season 3 finale I chat with Alannah of as she traces her first three pregnancies and births and how her beliefs around birth shifted throughout those experiences.

Her first birth started with confidence but spiraled into trauma - a long labor, a team that didn’t read her birth plan, an epidural she didn’t want, and a heartbreaking breech of dignity when her baby was taken, and her husband was sent out, without explanation. That moment of separation, feeling ignored, and being touched and drugged without consent, became the core memory of her trauma.

For Alannah’s second pregnancy she chose a different hospital and midwife team - and hired a doula and photographer. Her second birth was a different story with a supportive team that read her birth plan this time, and supported her choices.

Her third pregnancy brought new challenges amid the shifting hospital landscape in 2020, but her commitment to autonomy and clear communication kept her grounded. Even when protocols threatened to take over, her midwife advocated for her.

How we birth matters - asking for what we need, saying no when necessary, and trusting your own power are so important. ✨💗
