Nine days before Rachel was to give birth to her first child, her beloved birth keeper, Candace, was tragically killed in a car accident. Grief-stricken, panicked, and suddenly faced with new decisions, Rachel chose to freebirth.
What unfolded was the gentle, funny, and heartwarming story of a woman moving through her day with ease, allowing her birth to remain simple, quiet, and her own.
*This episode is both a celebration of Rachel’s first birth and a tribute to Candace Smith, a Radical Birth Keeper graduate and cherished member of our community whose memory continues to weave joy and service into all who knew her. Rest in power, beloved Candace—you are profoundly missed. ❤️
