In this episode I share with you a conversation/interview that I have had in the vault as it was recorded nearly three years ago (!), We discuss the timeless wisdom within a woman’s cycle, inner seasons as well as an introduction to the (ancient) important concept of the “three golden opportunities”.
If you're interested in vitality, and living connected and at ease from your innate core and on out into the world - this is the place to start. I LOVE these topics and am happy to kick off season three, after a long podcast hiatus! Listen in the end where I give you a little update on my life in real time. Onward into the Yin Water Rabbit year we go!  

"Kris (she/her) Kris is a mama, partner, Acupuncturist, Herbalist, Nourishing Life Tradition 養生 yǎng shēng practitioner, and one of the guides at Womb School. She grew up in a multicultural home; Star Trek and Kimchi. Her parents met on a navy base in South Korea where her maternal lineage comes from. Her papa is a blend of Norwegian, Irish, Scottish, and English ancestry. At the tender age of 13, Kris experienced a healing challenge that paved the way for reconnecting with her body and sparked a longing to help others in their healing journeys. Her work helps to bridge the wellness gap in reproductive health by leaning in on timeless wisdom such as 7-Year Life cycles, The Five Elements, Yin & Yang Theory, and Seasonal Attunement. She’s a weaver by nature and loves nurturing community and togetherness.  You can follow her at @thewayofyin.  “Our courses weave in the wisdom from Chinese Medicine Gynecology and Reproductive Medicine, The Five Elements, Herbalism & Longevity Practices.

This podcast is an introduction Emilee Saldaya, founder of Free Birth society.

Her work in the birth world at a fairly young age began opening her eyes to the importance and meaning of feminism. She felt alone in the midst of an industry that was overall harmful to women, which led her to creating what is now an expansive multi-faceted business entity under the name Free Birth Society (which has way more going on than the name implies). She shares her soulful and empowered life path that led her to the place she is now, which is a radical/revolutionary feminist unlike any that came before. In this episode we touch on the following:

The global community portion of FBS, which is like a virtual fire circle for women,  what it’s all about and who is involved in it.

Entrepreneurship in the Birth World and full-spectrum doulas.

The rooted decision to free birth and simultaneously invite the virtual world into that process through FBS podcast, a first of its kind.

How she came to terms with how unethical her work in the birth system was. The crossroads she came to upon becoming pregnant with her first baby.

How the rite of passage into Motherhood can really make or break us.

How she lives a life of integration and vision which pans out in a way that benefits her as a business woman and relatively new mother.

A little glimpse into her own free birth experienceWhat her phrase, “We birth how we live” means.

What has helped her create healthy boundaries being in a public position, bringing revolutionary feminist viewpoints, which automatically bring some controversy. How she manages being a committed activist, bringing of deep service to women without being swallowed up by the wide range of emotions and realities she must face. Keeping clear energetic boundaries amidst hate.

How backlash from her work has highlighted how appressed the female voice is and how she uses her privilege for the women who cannot use theres.

The importance of understanding Global oppression of women.

How privilege is a responsibility to protect women with less privilege.

Details into her most recent Mother-centered, woman-centered retreat. A very unique and beautiful experience.

The Radical Birthkeeping School: for women that feel called to serve women and not be behold into the systems that oppress us and keep us separate from each other.

Overview of this episode: Postpartum, the importance of this time on the continuum of a woman's health and wellbeing and the general lack of value put on Mothers genuine health and wellbeing in our patriarchal society. (This goes beyond “the first 40 days”) Postpartum/Motherhood and social media, new terrain in the grand scheme of things . Feeding an algorithm that feeds into popular illusions/highlights (creating false expectations) vs finding a sense of village amidst it all. 
3+ Years deep in my postpartum process. Some of the physical aspects. Pitfalls I had in the first 13 months during my initiation into motherhood up until where I am at now with second baby at the end of the forth trimester. How shedding expectations external/internal was vital in becoming more embodied and at home within myself in a new life-changing role. 
The importance and layers of support and a strong sense of self-worth. 
The difference of my beginning experience and perspective 3+ years ago and my current, fresh postpartum reality. 
With Love, 
Capri
