In this video, Sarah welcomes her sixth baby in a peaceful water freebirth, surrounded by her husband and children. This is Sarah’s second freebirth, following a hospital transfer with her fifth baby—a beautiful testament to her trust in the birth process.
“My previous freebirth was amazing, and then my one hospital birth showed me truly what I never wanted to experience again.” Sarah @Sarah.pion - Indiana

“My 6th labor started exactly the same as my previous 2. On a Wednesday night at 39wks and 1 day (all my babies have had " due dates" on a Tuesday) beginning with some bloody show and periodic contractions. And just like my previous 2 labors, this one carried on until the weekend. The contractions were sporadic and ranging in intensity, baby patiently waiting for soccer practices to be done, husband to be home, and for mama to be well rested. Things took off shortly after 10 or 11 that Friday night after my last bite of pizza I was eating in bed. It was an instant shift of no contractions, to boom this one feels very overwhelming. I got up and ran a bath because I was immediately shaking and felt unable to cope with the new intensity. After a few contractions and calming down I was able to snuggle up and catch an hour or 2 of sleep. I then woke up around 2 a.m. and knew it was go time, getting on my birth ball and then waking husband to add hot water to the partially filled birthing pool. I told my husband to call my mom, knowing I wanted her there but not too early. Before I knew it, I was next to the tub wondering how I'd ever climb in and asked my husband to wake the 3 oldest kids. I was probably in the tub for only a few contractions, then baby started to crown, my eyes shut tight, barely registering the kids appearing and my mom arriving. My water hadn't broken yet and the head was delivered en caul, my bags bursting shortly before my baby shot the rest of the way out into the water. The temperature of the water was so perfect, we just snuggled there for awhile, my calmest and quietest transitioning baby by far, soon discovered to be a boy. Born at 4:14 on Saturday morning, September 7th, our sweet Oswald James.
It never gets old, that feeling of absolute awe of my body and the pure joy of welcoming another sweet soul to our family.”

![From Thyroid Cancer in the Medical System to Birthing Outside of It
What happens when cancer treatment becomes the greatest catalyst for sovereignty?
In this episode, I speak with Jocelyn, a Tennessee mother who walked away from conventional medicine after surviving thyroid cancer and having her thyroid removed at 25 years old.
That experience changed everything. Jocelyn made a vow: never again would she hand her body over to the system. She carried that fierce sovereignty into motherhood, choosing to walk the sovereign path in her pregnancy and birth.
She speaks to the comfort of finding the perfect sovereign birth witness and how being around animal birth her whole life helped her understand what she needed to do.
Inside this episode:
- How surviving thyroid cancer led Jocelyn to question everything she’d been taught
- The moment in the hospital that made her vow never to surrender her body again
- What a wild pregnancy looked like day-to-day, with no tests, scans, or appointments
- What it takes to hold the line with family and community when your choices challenge the norm

![How Being Targeted & Threatened Made Us Grow - Yolande Norris-Clark & Emilee Saldaya
What happens when the work you love, your life’s devotion, collides with public scrutiny, betrayal, and cancel culture?
In this intimate conversation, I sit down with my closest collaborator and soul sister in this movement, Yolande Norris-Clark. Together, we unpack what it’s been like to build groundbreaking programs for women, like our 10-month mentorship, The MatriBirth Mentor Institute (MMI), while simultaneously weathering the storm of online harassment, public misrepresentation, and the many initiations that come with success.
This is a raw and honest reflection on navigating backlash, strengthening boundaries, and staying anchored in your values while walking a path most don’t understand. We speak to the complex dance of sisterhood and collaboration, and how our friendship has been both tested and deepened by the work we continue to stand for.
This episode is for the women who know they’re here to disrupt the norm, build what’s never been built before, and stay the course even when darkness tries to push back.
Inside this episode, we explore:
• What hate groups taught us about privacy, protection, and spiritual hygiene
• Why we chose to rebrand the name of MMI to something that feels more aligned
• How scrutiny and slander can catalyze profound personal evolution and maturity
• The beauty and necessity of sisterhood that doesn’t flinch under fire
• Why being rooted in purpose is the only sustainable strategy for enduring cancel culture
• What it really takes to keep showing up when you know you’re being watched in bad faith
We created The MatriBirth Mentor Institute because we know the sovereign birth-work path isn’t easy—but it’s necessary. MMI is the container for women called to lead in truth, in integrity, and in devotion. This episode is a glimpse into the lived experience of harvesting the fruits of “mob mentality” and doing the inner work to become “uncancellable”.

![She Fired Her Obstetrician At 36 Weeks Pregnant And Freebirthed
“I gave birth alone on linen sheets, and it was perfect.”
In this episode, I’m joined by Ash Anderson, mother of three and recent graduate of The MatriBirth Mentor Institute. After a traumatic induction with her first baby, Ash was certain she was done having children. But what she came to realize was that it wasn’t birth she was finished with—it was the hospital.
We unpack what it took for Ash to walk away from the industrial model of care, how she and her husband navigated the residual fear from her first birth, and why healing her relationship with motherhood was a necessary precursor to welcoming another baby.
From being coerced into interventions to catching her third baby alone in a moment of pure presence, Ash offers a grounded and powerful testimony to the transformation possible when a woman chooses trust, sovereignty, and self-responsibility.
You’ll Learn:
• Why “just in case” inductions increase trauma and strip women of autonomy
• How hospital birth plans are powerless against coercive systems
• What subtle manipulation in late pregnancy says about industrial birth priorities
• Why even “holistic” midwives still operate within controlling paradigms
• How freebirth dissolves fear and restores deep body-trust
• Why preparing for postpartum is a radical act of self-respect
• How birth witnessed by children shapes the future of womanhood
• What it means to birth alone and discover your strength, resilience, and sovereignty
This episode is a reminder that birth doesn’t have to be micromanaged, feared, or medicalized. It can be simple. It can be sacred. It can be yours if you choose it.
