Wise Women Diaries stories are rooted in shedding victimhood and shame. We take radical responsibility for our lives. We have the power to turn pain to wisdom, choose our intuition over fear, break generational patterns, and learn how to trust ourselves. This podcast shares a wide variety of lessons from conscious women: how grief and heartbreak helped us evolve, how children are our teachers, and how we can reclaim our inner trust by stepping out of the medical paradigm in homebirth, freebirth, or ’infertility.’ Follow the host, Lea, on Instagram at @trusting_life_ Email: wisewomendiaries@gmail.com to submit your story

Celena Martin (@ceeingyouthrough) is a doula, wife, and mother to her son. She shares her incredible story of waiting two years until she became pregnant, with God giving her an astounding dream the day she conceived, that plays a pivotal, essential role in her birth story. She did not partake in common medical surveillance throughout her pregnancy, until her body showed her a symptom to seek help. Celena's story is an example of using intuition to guide our decisions, being still when we are called to be still... taking action when we are called to take action... and utilizing the medical system in birth when there is a medical need!

Natalie shares her personal experiences with pregnancy, birth, postpartum, bedsharing, and breastfeeding. Her first birth was a hospital induction that went miraculously well, but for her second birth she knew she wanted to homebirth, so she hired a midwife.... but freebirthed! She explains how bedsharing was an obvious choice after struggling with sleep with her first child, her struggles with mental health in postpartum, and the importance of women have *true* support to achieve their breastfeeding goals.

Audrey Ross, (@ajoyfulbirth) a mother of five, birthkeeper, birth prep coach, and a freebirthing woman, shares a condensed version of her life trials that led her to true freedom. She overcame an eating disorder, detoxed off of ~11 Big Pharma medications, healed constant panic attacks, and learned the true power of her mind to finally become her authentic, true self! Audrey had "infertility" for about 10 years with another 5 year lapse of not conceiving later on, but went on to naturally conceive four children. She shares her prophetic dreams from God, being led to foster and adopt children, and how her first two birth experiences led her to freebirth. We talk about how the Mind is the most overlooked component to birth and how when we hire a birth attendant for birth, we are also hiring their subconscious mind with all of their fears! We also discuss German New Medicine and Audrey's current pregnancy.
