    Birthing the West: My Review

    The Earthbound Parenting Podcast and DIY Birth dive into everything pregnancy, birth, postpartum, partnership, and parenting—with an emphasis on taking radical responsibility at every step. Birthing the West by Jennifer J. Hill isn't a birth philosophy book—it's a historical record of how women on the Northern Plains actually gave birth before the medical model transformed maternity care. In this episode, I review the book's most compelling insights, from the ordinary strength of community birth and traditional midwifery to the deliberate campaign that displaced women's knowledge and reshaped birth into a medical institution. If you've ever wondered whether birth has always looked the way it does today, this conversation offers a powerful reminder that today's system is only one chapter in a much older story—and that reclaiming women's birth wisdom is less about revolution than restoration.

    Mom Hair: Style Change or Trauma Response?

    The Earthbound Parenting Podcast and DIY Birth dive into everything pregnancy, birth, postpartum, partnership, and parenting—with an emphasis on taking radical responsibility at every step. Why did the stereotypical “mom haircut” become so common — and could it be connected to the stress, grief, identity shifts, and trauma surrounding modern motherhood and birth culture? In this episode of the Earthbound Parenting Podcast, we explore the rise of the “mom look,” the over-medicalization of birth in America, maternal mental health statistics, obstetric trauma, biblical grief symbolism surrounding hair cutting, and the psychological meaning behind drastic postpartum appearance changes. From ancient mourning practices to modern maternity wards, this conversation examines whether “chopping it all off” may represent something deeper than convenience — a physical expression of overwhelm, loss of identity, survival, and the attempt to begin again after traumatic experiences surrounding pregnancy, birth, and motherhood.

    How I Got Here - from freebirth to birthwork

    The Earthbound Parenting Podcast and DIY Birth dive into everything pregnancy, birth, postpartum, partnership, and parenting—with an emphasis on taking radical responsibility at every step. I didn’t grow up loving birth — in fact, I avoided it at all costs. But through my own pregnancies, unassisted births, and a deep inner calling I couldn’t ignore, everything began to change. In this episode, I share the full story of how I went from fearing and avoiding birth… to stepping into birthwork, education, and guiding families through one of the most transformative experiences of their lives.
