Brittany was diagnosed with brain tumors at the age of 20 and was told she’d never get pregnant and it was too dangerous to give birth. After seven years of failed IVF and surrogacy attempts, Brittany decided to try to get pregnant naturally, and to the surprise of all her doctors, she did. During her first birth and through the pregnancy of her second, Brittany started to reclaim her authority and trust in her own body. Brittany decided to have a sovereign birth with her third child and since then has begun untangling herself and her family from the system.

![Family Birth in a Tipi in the Colorado Mountains
How deep can birth take you when you fully surrender to the mystery?
In this episode, I sit down with Mimilia—mother of four and a recent graduate of our MatriBirth Mentor Institute. Her story is a breathtaking journey through four radically different births, each one deepening her trust, sharpening her discernment, and calling her closer to truth.
We begin with her first birth: newly single, choosing freebirth in her homeland of Puerto Rico, and awakening to her own power in the most unexpected of settings. From there, Mimilia shares the simple beauty of freebirthing in a tipi in the Colorado mountains, before taking a surprising detour—hiring a licensed midwife for her third birth.
But it’s her fourth birth that brings it all home: the culmination of her path through sovereignty, surrender, and self-responsibility. This episode is a mirror, a medicine story, and an invitation to reflect on what birth reveals when we are ready to listen.
Inside this episode:
• What it’s like to leave a relationship mid-pregnancy and return to your homeland
• What it looks like to birth in a tipi—with a handmade altar and a bucket of water
• Why hiring a midwife for her third birth helped her understand what kind of birth keeper she would be
• How birth exposed the subtle and chronic ways she’d been abandoning herself
• What it takes to face birth without flinching—and let it break you open
• Why having her children witness birth became a sacred part of the journey
• How MMI helped her embody her calling as a woman, a mother, and a birth keeper
• This one is intimate, wild, and deeply instructive. Tune in.
