Today on the podcast, Emilee and Danielle talk about body hair and the physiological function as well as the social aspects of allowing hair. In a culture where women are taught to be hairless in order to be both accepted and attractive, Emilee and Danielle share their own journeys of how they stopped this misogynistic ritual and learned to love themselves.

![Leaving the Medical Cult to Become a Freebirthing Off-Grid Homesteader
What happens when you walk away from everything and find your own path to motherhood?
In this episode, we hear from Julia, a Montana mother of two who walked away from the corporate grind, sold her home, and set out on a radically different path to motherhood, one rooted in sovereignty, sisterhood, and self-trust.
Julia shares how her first wild pregnancy unfolded while traveling the West Coast in a trailer, living off-grid in national forests, and finding community through The Lighthouse membership. With a deeply ingrained medical upbringing, Julia had to unravel layers of programming to reclaim birth on her terms.
She tells the raw and beautiful stories of birthing her babies on raw land in the Montana winter, catching her first baby unexpectedly with bath towels and a shoelace, and welcoming her second in a fast, intuitive birth in the same off-grid trailer. From navigating boundaries with family to tandem nursing and raising her children outside the system, Julia’s story is a powerful testament to the courage it takes to live differently.
What You’ll Hear:
- How a divorce became the catalyst for questioning everything she thought she knew
- Why she sold everything and set out on the road with their RV
- A story of freedom that comes from leaving behind medical management and social expectations
- Why her first freebirth became the most magical experience of her life
- How living in the Natural Forest system rewired her mind and reawakened her intuition
- The lessons from two very different freebirths
- Her advice for anyone considering stepping away from responsibilities during their first pregnancy
