2021/09/12

Today on the show I speak with ex hospital midwife and ex-child health nurse Kimberely Rose. Kim now works in the somatic sex area as well as studying Naturopathy. Kim’s first birth was a hospital birth, second homebirth with midwife and the last two were fabulous free births. We ponder over a lot if things including her time in the system and the second hand trauma she experienced even though most births would have been considered “good” births. As well as chatting about her somatic sex work and

Today on the show I speak to the oh so wonderful Jamie Purdey. After 2 c-section Jamie was determined to have a natural birth for her third. She booked into the local hospital and planned to stay at home as long as possible. During the pregnancy though, Jamie realised that having a planned homebirth was probably the best decision and hired a midwife at 30 weeks. Shortly after though, her midwife Martina (who has previously been on this podcast if you want to check her out) told Jamie she could no

2021/08/29

Today on the show I speak with Mama of 2 Emma Penno who lives in remote WA in Port Headland. Emma herself was a c-section baby and so were her 3 siblings. Emma believed for a long time that c-sections were the safest and best option. But, fast forward to her first pregnancy Emma intuitively knew she wanted a natural birth but lost her her first baby at 8 weeks. She fell pregnant for the second time shortly after and had a straight forward physiological birth in hospital. After this birth she decided

Today on the show I speak with Ashley Winning who runs her own podcast The VBAC Homebirth Stories Podcast. Ashley after 2 caesareans free birthed her 10 pound baby at home. We talk through through all her births, including her two hospital births where she was discriminated against because of her high BMI and then her triumphant freebirth. Although Ashley’s Freebirth didn’t go exactly as planned, she says she chose to view it as a peaceful and positive experience. Like my previous guest Cat, while

Today on the show I speak with Allyce Ananda who describes herself as a expressionist, sound and vibrational healer and Mama Diviner. Allyce and I had crossed paths in our previous lives as actors but we had never met - until now. Allyce free birthed her first baby Aria and also had an autonomous pregnancy. We talk about the spiritual and emotional side of pregnancy and how it can be such a massive time of growth. We also delve into the way we express ourselves in birth and how important it is to

2021/08/08

Today on the show I speak with Mama of 5 Khristie Castledine. Khristie says that she and her husband had their kids in two sets, the first two, then the next three. She started in one world with her first and ended in the other with her last. From c-section to freebirth. From vaccinating to not vaccinating. From 5 months breastfeeding to 5 years breastfeeding. Her experiences are really worlds apart. What I love about Khristie story is that it shows us how we can all grow and evolve and not to have

2021/08/01

Today on the show I speak with my good friend Arisa Yura. Arisa and I go way back and she was actually one of my bridesmaids! The reason I wanted to get Arisa on the show was, besides being an all round awesome person - Arisa is Japanese Australian and she is represents a group in the homebirth community that is so often underrepresented. Arisa went into homebirth a little unsure and a comment from a friend’s friend saying that the “Asian anatomy is not suitable for homebirth.” surely didn’t help

2021/07/18

Today on the show I speak with Cat Price. Cat is a Mama of 2, an ex-midwifery student and more recently a birthkeeper. Cat had a wonderful first homebirth with a midwife which opened up a whole new world to her. For her second pregnancy she went on to decide that she’d like a freebirth but says that she was only 90% there. I find Cat’s story really interesting, as it’s an example of when we are not 100% aligned - how things can have the potential to go haywire. Although the birth was relatively

2021/07/11

Today on the show I talk with Jess Anderson. Jess wanted a homebirth for her first babe but she decided to have a hospital birth because, as she put it, “I naively thought that I could just stay at home and not go in to the hospital on the day”. What she didn’t realise was that all the prenatal scare appointments would erode any sense of trust and belief in herself and she ended up with a traumatic birth and an extended hospital stay with her first. The second time around - Jess listened to her

2021/07/04

Today on the show I speak with mama of 3 and fellow birth nerd Laura Shelley Butler. Laura experience with ultrasound is really interesting. For many one of the main reasons they may get an ultrasound, is to pick up any congenital conditions prior to birth. The intriguing thing with Laura was that, although they did pick up some kind of abnormality via ultrasound, they never picked up the severity of it. As we all know - ultrasounds aren’t the fail proof saviours they are often praised to be and

2021/06/27

Today on the show I speak with the bubbly and gorgeous Emily Patterson. Emily has had a homebirth transfer, a homebirth with a midwife and then a freebirth. Emily at the start of her 3rd pregnancy wasn’t “there” to straight out decide on a freebirth. The further she got into that pregnancy though, she realised that a freebirth was right for her and she respectfully decided to no longer continue care with her midwife who she loved dearly. She ended up having an amazing, joyful and perfect freebirth

She has also had a beautiful homebirth with her son and an amazing freebirth with her daughter. Interestingly Amana hasn’t let her experiences bring her down but

Today on the show I speak with ex-registered midwife Martina Gorner. Martina is a rockstar and told the government to shove it after being reported to APRHA 9 times. The final straw when she was reported for supporting a surprise twin birth at home. Even though the babies were healthy and Mum and Dad were more than happy - someone at the hospital was not. The witch hunt for midwives is real and the current system is leaving them with very narrow boundaries to support women within. When Martina

Today on the show I speak with The Authentic Birth Keeper - Emily Lal. Emily is a mother of two, homebirther, freebirther and walks with women through their pregnancies and births as a traditional birthkeeper. Emily started her birth journey at one end of the spectrum with an OBGYN appointment and IVF diagnoses as the only way of ever having children. Where she ended up though, was right at the other end with natural conceptions, a homebirth for her first and free birthing her second child. I find

Expecting her second birth to be a much faster birth than her first - Karis was left surprised when it wasn’t. We talk in detail about the emergence of Wren’s head; which took a while and also how Wren took a little while to take her first breathe. Karis mentions how she knew this was a possibility and was

Wow - where to start with this one. Taylor’s story is epic - I totally wasn’t prepared for it. We chat about a lot - her homebirth transfer with her first, her surrogate journey where she carried twins, miscarriage and then also the horrific story of having her son removed from her when she questioned the medical treatment he was

And even though she was really happy with her experience, after being introduced to freebirth she knew she could be even better! For Arlo her second born she had a wonderful wild pregnancy and planned freebirth. During her pregnancy at around 36 weeks, Ashley’s Mum sadly passed away, after a long illness.

Today on the show I speak with doula and mother of two - Amber Kevill. Amber had her first baby in the birth centre and went on plan a homebirth with a private midwife for her second. And although Amber never spoke the words aloud she managed to self manifest an accidental freebirth. I found it really interesting hearing Amber’s process and the fight inside her to decide what she really wanted. Amber said she felt a lot of judgement around freebirth and this is partially why this decision was so

Welcome to Season 2 of the Renegade Mama. I very excited to have as my first guest of the season Midwife and Indie Birth founder Maryn Green. I love Maryn’s work and especially her birth videos to be extremely inspiring. Maryn has 10 kids (yes you heard me right) - and consequently a whole heap of first hand experience of birth, as well technical knowledge from her midwifery training. We managed (believe it or not) to chat through all her births as well as her own birth. We cover on topics from
