Keshia Tognazzini: Feelings Around The ‘Freebirth Society Scam’ Guardian Investigation, Four Fabulous Freebirths, Media Witch-Hunts, Trolls and Taking Radical Responsibility02 Aug 202601:42:38

So - is Freebirth Safe? Is everyone who freebirths influenced by the dogmatic teachings of the Freebirth Society??? Or is it empowering, the only way to truly 'own' your birth? Or somewhere in the middle of all of this, just something some women choose because they feel it is right for them.

 

There has been a lot of media attention recently around Freebirth - notably the recent Guardian Investigation into the Freebirth Society, and media surrounding the Stacey Wernecke case here in Australia.

 

Here to unpack is Keshia - sharing her story of four fabulous freebirths, and her podcast series discussing all of the sides of freebirth.

 

Content note: discussion of stillbirth  and birth trauma.

Ashlee: Three Years On Since 'Doomsday Everyday'. A Glimmer of Hope19 Feb 202500:58:44

Today's shared story of Motherhood I speak with Ashlee three years after her experience of Postpartum Thyroiditis. 

Healing is not a linear path, and not every hard time has an equally uplifting outcome, but there is truth in that great challenge can create worthwhile transformation. This is a conversation about so many things, whether we all as mothers go through hardship, is spiritual healing a real thing, the use of social media in motherhood, and so much more.
