The Altar of Birth: Me, God, and My Baby

The Altar of Birth: Me, God, and My Baby

Author: Emilee Saldaya May 23, 2025 Duration: 1:14:11

Today, I welcome Kiana—a devoted woman, mother, and former student midwife (turned MMI graduate!) who chose to walk away from the captivity of the system and return to the wild. Living off-grid in a yurt she built with her own hands, Kiana shares the holy unfolding of her path to sovereignty.


She speaks honestly about her three sovereign miscarriages—and the spiritual grit it took to keep saying yes to life.

Emilee Saldaya hosts Free Birth Society, a podcast that delves into the profound and personal choice of freebirth. This is not a discussion about home birth with professional support, but an intimate exploration of childbirth that unfolds without midwives, doulas, or medical intervention, guided solely by the birthing person and their family. Through conversations with wild women from around the globe, each episode presents a raw and unfiltered narrative, focusing on the lived experiences, the emotional landscapes, and the deep, often unspoken trust in the body's innate wisdom. These stories are honest, sometimes gripping, and frequently transformative, challenging mainstream perceptions of safety and authority. The dialogue within this podcast serves as both education and a form of self-improvement, examining the reclaiming of autonomy and the reconnection to ancestral knowledge. Listeners will hear not just the mechanics of unassisted birth, but the philosophical and personal journeys that lead individuals to this path. Emilee, as founder and guide, facilitates these discussions with a clear, grounded presence, allowing the complexity and beauty of each story to resonate. This podcast is for those curious about the edges of conventional maternity care, seeking to understand a paradigm where birth is treated as a private, powerful, and physiological event rather than a medical procedure. The Free Birth Society podcast creates a space for these rarely heard voices, offering a tapestry of experiences that are, above all, true to themselves.
