This week, Emilee is joined by Raquel, who shares her extraordinary first pregnancy and sovereign birth at the age of 39.Raquel speaks candidly about the profound transitions she navigated during this time. The death of her mother, leaving her job, moving homes, and entering into the work of congruency, boundaries, and privacy. Choosing a wild pregnancy, she hired a Radical Birth Keeper graduate to hold space as she walked this sacred path.She opens up about the challenges she faced postpartum with nursing and her child’s tongue tie, reflecting on what she might do differently now. And she speaks with clarity about her sense of completion after one child, naming that she does not desire more.This conversation carries the archetype of the death of the maiden, a story of initiation, sovereignty, and the power of claiming motherhood on one’s own terms.Donate to the podcast <a href="https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=2YJBSCNYXT52Y" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent;">here.</a> If you want to connect with Raquel, follow her on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/inner.sanctuary.guide/" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(19, 19, 19);">here</a> and you can find her website <a href="https://raqueldarowe.com" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(19, 19, 19);">here.</a>Find more from Emilee on<a href="https://www.instagram.com/freebirthsociety/" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/freebirthsociety/" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">Instagram</a>,<a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/freebirthsociety" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/freebirthsociety" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">YouTube</a> and the Free Birth Society<a href="https://www.freebirthsociety.com/" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </a><a href="https://www.freebirthsociety.com/" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">website</a>.Disclaimer: Free Birth Society, LLC of North Carolina shares personal and educational stories and experiences related to freebirth and holistic care.
