“I was totally unaware of it all before the (Free Birth Society) podcast and the stories were so powerful.” Darrah @mamas.holistic.collective - Texas

“I began feeling trippy around 7 pm when I lost my mucus plug. I was in total denial about it being real labor, but also totally knew I’d be giving birth. I prepared my bed, which hinted to my husband it might be soon. At no point did I worry about it only being 36 weeks… I felt complete, and I may have had my “due date” wrong. My waters began to leak while I was lying in bed around 11 pm and then I later got into my bathtub. Husband woke up and supported me beautifully (even though we really didn’t ever talk about what I wanted/didn’t want from him. I had planned a big talk about freebirth and my wishes, but never ended up having the talk). I did not give him enough credit in my pregnancy in his innate ability to hold space for me.
Labor sensations continued with really no pain. My body took over and ejected my baby around 4:30 am. I got in bed, and my placenta came 45 minutes later. Andy went to work the next morning, and my village sisters came over and cooked, cleaned, and cared for me since I had nothing prepared! Postpartum was blissful. I stayed in bed for 2 weeks. I healed a tear easily. Breastfeeding was so easy (this never came easily for me before).
Something I think is interesting is that a huge maternal switch happened. I ended up closing my business so I could be with him and to exclusively breastfeed. I also found myself wanting to be a more present mom for my older kids. I felt the calling (and was also encouraged by my village prenatal sisters) to join MMI. I applied for the grant and figured if I got it, I would take it as a sign and figure it out!”

![Burn It Down to Build It Right: Our Third 40-Week Wrap Up
What do you do when youre in the middle of your third pregnancy and a hate group forms to threaten your life?
In this episode, I sit down with my husband—and third-time guest—Jonny, for a raw and real 40-week wrap-up.
We share honestly about what this year has demanded: deep growth, hard decisions, and the very real emotional weight of being publicly attacked while stewarding this freebirth movement.
We talk openly about our major fails in business and community building, our shift towards the private sector, and how we’re preparing to welcome our third baby at home while holding our family steady.
You’ll Learn:
• What it feels like to navigate a pregnancy marked by nausea, migraines, and total slowdown
• The story behind Jonny quitting his 6-figure job and choosing to stay home to live as an intact family
• Why their attempt to build a private school in rural North Carolina failed despite major investment
• The surprising link between moving during COVID and outgrowing their super rural life five years later
• What happens when you face a smear campaign and community fallout while running a business
• How pregnancy became a catalyst for burning down what no longer fit their family and business
• How Emilee chooses to question her inherited stories around scarcity and overwhelm in motherhood and walk a new path
