To close this season, I wanted to bring you a guest whose presence and legacy transcend words, so I invited back the legendary elder midwife, instagram.com/sistermorningstar/.
In this powerful and intimate conversation, Sister MorningStar shares the stories of her three births, her lifelong devotion to traditional midwifery, and the extraordinary account of being put on trial for standing by a mother through a stillbirth at home. This episode is a testament to integrity, to ancestral memory, and to the unshakable fire it takes to stand for women in a culture that does not.
✨ That’s a wrap on Season Eight. Deep gratitude to every woman who has shared her story on this podcast, and to all of you who continue to witness and walk this path with us.
🌟Coming soon in Season Nine: Ask Emilee!

![She Birthed Her Twins Unassisted at 40 Weeks
What happens when you choose a normal birth with twins?
In this episode, I speak with Nicole, a mother from South Africa now living in the U.S., who chose sovereignty in one of the most medicalized and “high-risk” experiences imaginable: an identical twin pregnancy. From the very beginning, she was met with fear-based narratives—warnings of stillbirth, premature labor, and twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. But after enduring traumatic experiences in hospitals and with midwives, Nicole knew she would not birth her twins within the system.
Instead, she underwent a profound process of deconditioning and committed to trusting her body. With the steady support of her husband, a Radical Birth Keeper graduate, and a community of women walking this same path, Nicole carried her twins to 40 weeks and welcomed them at home, in embodied sovereignty.
Nicole shares the raw reality of holding responsibility for twins outside the system: the constant conversations about risk, the deep conviction it took to turn away completely, and the profound freedom of reclaiming birth on her own terms.
Inside this episode:
- What Nicole witnessed in the hospital that made her vow never to return
- How she carried her twins to full term, trusting her body’s wisdom
- The support she found in a community of sovereign mothers
- What labor with twins looked like at home
- The double standard of blame when outcomes differ at home versus in the hospital
- The freedom and healing that come with birthing twins in sovereignty
