Ep. 64 Twin home breech birth & the systems behind the magic with Corina Sanchez

What if even the most medically-controlled births — like twin births — could unfold with sovereignty, intuition, and profound trust?

In this week’s episode I sit down with Corina, a mother whose twin home birth defies every limiting narrative we’re told about safety, possibility, and what women are capable of.

This conversation is a living testament to what becomes possible when skill, surrender, and biological wisdom meet.

Corina opens up about:

Discovering she was carrying twins — and facing the shock, fear, and overwhelm that followed

Finding a midwife trained in breech birth and twin physiology who truly saw her capacity

Laboring in a deeply intuitive bubble, guided moment by moment by her body’s intelligence

A powerful birth of Baby A — full of awe, reverence, and uninterrupted bonding

The extraordinary breech birth of Baby B, delivered with three gentle pushes in total trust

A sacred postpartum moment where her mother-in-law wept, witnessing physiological birth for the first time

This episode is a breathtaking example of what becomes possible when we return birth to the hands of women — and support them with practitioners whose skills actually match their philosophy.

Your feelings are a compass.

The way you want your birth to feel can guide every decision.

Skill matters — especially with twins.

Breech birth in unskilled hands requires intervention.

In skilled hands, it can be safe, calm, and even exquisite.

Birth is a team energy.

When everyone in the room holds the same grounded frequency, birth opens beautifully.

Motherhood requires capacity — and capacity can be expanded.

Not by doing more, but by creating systems, support, and rhythm in the home.

Your intuition is built-in guidance.

Your body led your entire pregnancy.

It can lead your birth, your postpartum, and your mothering.


Corina’s reminder for all of us:

“If I had listened to the twin birth stories around me, everything would’ve been different.

But I listened to my body first — and that changed my life.”

Her transformative journey into mothering twins birthed her fourth baby:

Moms Who Leverage — a system-based approach to reclaiming peace, time, and energy in motherhood.

You can explore her work at: momswholeverage.com and on Instagram @momswholeverage

And download her Reset Guide here: join.momswholeverage.com/reset

This episode is a devotion to what is possible — not just in birth, but in the way women lead, organize their lives, and trust themselves more fully.

Ep. 63 Mushrooms & Motherhood with Ashley Glowiak, LMFT, PhD(c)

What if your journey through motherhood — or the creation of anything meaningful — could be guided by the deep, ancient intelligence of your body and the earth itself?

In this week’s episode of Rewire for Birth, I sit down with Ashley Glowiak, LMFT, PhD(c) — a mother of five, a marriage and family therapist, and a psychedelic-informed researcher devoted to restoring the sacred ecology of family life.

Through her frameworks Family Mycology and Home Field Advantage, Ashley helps women transmute inherited patterns into love, rhythm, and coherence across generations. Her work weaves psychology, ancestral repair, earth wisdom, and nervous system science into a language that feels like truth remembered.

This conversation is a transmission. A remembering.

Ashley shares about:

How stress patterns lodge in the body — and how movement, fascial release, and earth connection help mothers metabolize emotional residue.

Why authenticity — not forced positivity — is the strongest measurable frequency we can transmit to our babies.

How speaking honestly to your baby (even in the womb) creates attunement, discernment, and emotional safety.

Her Family Mycology model — inspired by fungi, regeneration, and the invisible systems that shape family patterns.

How microdosing psilocybin (used safely and intentionally) can support nervous system regulation, bonding, creativity, and intergenerational healing.

How nature becomes a profound co-regulator for mothers who feel overwhelmed or under-supported in the absence of the village we are biologically wired to expect.


Key takeaways you’ll hear inside the episode:

Your capacity expands through communication — with your baby, with yourself, with your lineage.

Stress must move: through breath, through fascia, through voice, through truth.

Nothing is ever lost. Repair is always available.

Nature mirrors our bodies — fascia like mycelium, breath like wind, cycles like seasons. We belong to this rhythm.

Psilocybin (when used intentionally and safely) can open new pathways of empathy, oxytocin, bonding, and generational repair.

Every emotion is compostable — irritation, overwhelm, shutdown. These aren’t flaws but invitations to transform what’s been carried for generations.


And this beautiful reminder from Ashley:


“You are the exact right fit. Whoever is in your womb, in your arms, or in your field — they are here with you for a reason.”


This episode is an invitation to tune into your body’s intelligence, to find resourcing in the natural world, and to reconnect to the lineage of wisdom running beneath your feet. Whether you’re birthing a baby, a vision, or a new version of yourself… this conversation meets you there.

Rewire For Birth
Ep. 62 The Role of Nutrients for your Placenta, Fetal Development, Cervix and Birth with Sarah Thompson

What if everything you’ve been told about pregnancy and birth is only half the story—and the real answers are already inside your body?

Most women prepare for birth by gathering tips, products, and protocols… but few are ever taught how profoundly their own physiology, nutrient stores, and internal rhythms shape their pregnancy outcomes.

This week’s episode pulls back the curtain on the science, biochemistry, and innate wisdom that can transform the way you think about getting pregnant, staying healthy, and giving birth.

I sit down with Sarah Thompson, a licensed acupuncturist, certified functional medicine practitioner, and birth doula with more than 20 years of experience in maternal health. 

Together, we dive deep into maternal nutrition, preeclampsia prevention, and how supporting your body from preconception through postpartum can set the stage for safer, smoother, and more empowered births.

Sarah opens up about:

  • Why folate isn’t one-size-fits-all

  • The crucial role of preconception nutrition and early pregnancy nutrient reserves in preventing complications like preeclampsia and gestational hypertension.

  • How choline, glycine, and hyaluronic acid support the cervix, cell membranes, and baby’s brain development.

  • How minerals, vitamins, and balanced fats work together to protect endothelial health, regulate inflammation, and support optimal birth outcomes.

  • Why thyroid health, vitamin A, and magnesium are essential for labor preparation, oxytocin receptor expression, and postpartum healing.

Key takeaways you’ll hear inside the episode:

  • Your body has an internal wisdom—sometimes the best intervention is listening, not over-supplementing.

  • Timing matters: preconception and early pregnancy are the most important windows for nutrient support.

  • Balanced diets, like Mediterranean or Nordic patterns, provide antioxidants, trace minerals, and healthy fats that research links to better pregnancy outcomes.

  • Supporting cervical remodeling, oxytocin receptor function, and placental health can improve labor progress and reduce unnecessary interventions.

  • Traditional wisdom, science, and intuition all intersect to guide safer, more empowered pregnancies and births.

Learn more about Sarah at: www.functionalmaternity.com

Follow her on instagram @functional.maternity

Sarah’s reminder for us all:“Trust the body, honor the process, and focus on balance over extremes.”

This episode is a fascinating exploration of the biochemistry of pregnancy, the hidden nutrients that matter most, and the power of preparation to create a safer, more connected birth experience.

Rewire For Birth
Ep. 61 Palestinian and Jewish Mothers Birthing the New…Together

What if birth was never meant to be controlled—but trusted?

What if motherhood wasn’t about perfection—but about remembering your power?

In this week’s episode of Birthing the New, I sit down with Emily Nachazel to explore wild pregnancy, empowered birth, and what it means to lead through the lens of matriarchal wisdom.

Emily’s story is one of deep surrender and rebirth. After a long and challenging first home birth that ended in a hospital transfer, she began unraveling layers of control, expectation, and external validation—learning instead to trust her body, her intuition, and the divine timing of it all.

For her second birth, Emily chose a wild, unassisted path—guided only by her inner knowing. What followed was a raw, primal, and sacred experience that redefined her understanding of trust, leadership, and feminine power.

✨ Inside this conversation:

  • The shift from control to surrender—and how true power begins there

  • Navigating wild pregnancy and free birth through deep self-trust

  • Creating sacred space through ritual and intention

  • How matriarchal leadership mirrors empowered motherhood

  • How Palestinian and Jewish mothers are Birthing the New

Emily reminds us that confidence isn’t built in certainty—it’s born in courage.And that motherhood, like leadership, is not meant to be navigated alone.

It’s time to return to trust.To remember our wisdom.And to birth the new—from love & authenticity, not fear.

Ep. 60 Birth as Ceremony, Not Emergency with Anna Lundqvist

What if birth was never meant to be a medical event—but a sacred ceremony of becoming?

In this week’s episode of the Rewire For Birth Podcast,  we sit down with Anna from Sacred Birth International to explore how women can reclaim birth as a rite of passage—a portal of transformation connecting body, spirit, and lineage.

Anna is a former registered midwife, now residing in Sweden, who left the institutional system to walk a different path: one rooted in ancient wisdom, ceremony, and deep reverence for the sacred nature of birth. Through her work with Sacred Birth International, she mentors “sacred birth workers” and guides women in preparing consciously for this life-altering initiation.

✨ Inside this conversation:

  • Why birth is a portal of power, not a medical emergency

  • The ancestral calling of midwifery—and what it means to serve outside the system

  • How fear, disconnection, and lack of autonomy—not birth itself—create trauma

  • Tools for empowered birthing: storytelling, fear release, self-inquiry, and connection with nature

  • The importance of protecting your peace, your space, and your intuitive knowing

Anna reminds us that “your womb is sacred—a portal between heaven and earth connecting you with all who ever lived or will live.”

It’s time to return to birth as ceremony, to remember our wisdom, and to reclaim our power as women.

Ep. 59 The REAL History of Birth, Midwifery & Obstetrics with Billie Harrigan

This conversation has been two years in the making—and it’s one you won’t want to miss.

In this powerful new episode, birth elder and trailblazer Billie Harrigan joins us to share her unfiltered wisdom on reclaiming sovereign birth practices—free from fear, profit-driven systems, and outdated control.

Billie has spent decades walking with women through birth as a rite of passage rather than a medical event. Her work calls us back to common sense care—where kindness, trust, and intuition guide the way home to our power.

 In this episode:

  • The untold history of how midwifery was criminalized in Canada—for profit and control

  • Why modern “medicalized” birth has strayed from community-based wisdom

  • The truth about birth trauma—nearly half of women report traumatic experiences, and one in eight develop PTSD

  • How COVID protocols amplified fear, isolation, and disempowerment in maternity care

  • What it means to restore sovereignty—your body, your baby, your birth

Billie reminds us that in the modern medical system “we don’t birth according to evidence—we birth according to what we believe.”

It’s time to challenge the fear-based narratives that have shaped modern birth and return to truth, trust, and freedom.

💡 You’ll also learn:

  • How to choose support rooted in genuine care, not credentials

  • Ways to build community wisdom around birth again

  • Why empowered birth is the foundation for empowered motherhood

Ep. 58 The Birth Revolution with Norma-Jean McCreedy

What if the most powerful revolution in birth didn’t happen in hospitals—but in living rooms, community centers, and women’s circles across Canada?

In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Norma-Jean McCreedy, one of Ontario’s original birth pioneers. From her own birth traumas to co-founding grassroots movements that shaped modern midwifery, Norma’s story is a masterclass in courage, curiosity, and connection.

Inside this conversation, you’ll hear:

✨ How mothers in 1980s Toronto created community hubs like The Children’s Storefront and La Leche League that redefined postpartum support

✨ The story behind the Homebirth Task Force and the Midwifery Task Force and their fight for legal recognition of home birth

✨ How Norma’s personal healing journey through birth trauma inspired her lifelong advocacy

✨ Why questioning medical dogma isn’t rebellion—it’s reclamation

✨ How supporting our daughters through motherhood creates a legacy of love and agency


Noteworthy moments:

“If you can’t trust your baby—who can you trust?” — Norma Jean McCreedy “Curiosity is absolutely key… We’re told not to question anymore—but I never stopped.” — Norma Jean McCreedy

Whether you’re a birth worker, mother, or simply passionate about women’s sovereignty, this episode reminds us that community is medicine—and that every generation benefits when women trusting themselves.

Ep. 57 Kylee Zeck’s 3 wildly different births + Homeopathy

What if your birth story could move from fear to freedom?


In this week’s podcast episode, I sit down with Kylee Zeck to hear her remarkable journey across three very different births—each one reshaping her relationship with her body, her intuition, and her sense of empowerment.


Kylee shares openly about:

  • Navigating an unplanned C-section shaped by medical fear

  • Choosing a VBAC in the midst of COVID-era restrictions

  • Experiencing a home birth, guided by faith and intuition

  • How homeopathy supported her through both physical and emotional challenges


Her story is a testament to resilience, advocacy, and the strength that comes from surrendering control and trusting in something greater.


Key takeaways you’ll hear inside the episode:

  • Birth is never one-size-fits-all—your choices and support systems matter.

  • Intuition and self-advocacy are essential in navigating maternal care.

  • Surrender creates space for unexpected miracles.

  • Homeopathy can gently support the journey—before, during, and after birth.

  • We have the power to imprint love over fear for ourselves and future generations.


Addendum: in this episode Dr. Cindy mentions that one potential outcome of meconium being present in the amniotic fluid is infection. She wants to add that meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) is a major concern which could impact the newborn’s respiratory function.


Kylee’s reminder for us all:

“Get back to basics…to who you were before people told you what you should do.”

This episode is a beautiful invitation to reflect on where you’ve handed away your authority—and how you can reclaim it.

Ep.56 Part 2 Dr. Stuart Fischbein, MD on Rethinking The Medical Model and Breech & Twin Home Births

What if the safest, most empowering birth wasn’t in a hospital—but at home, surrounded by people you trust?

In this thought provoking episode, I sit down with Dr. Stu, an obstetrician who walked away from the conventional hospital model to attend home births alongside midwives. His journey from a highly medicalized system to a more intuitive, woman-centered approach is nothing short of inspiring.

Inside this conversation, you’ll hear: ✨ Why hospital protocols often prioritize policy over patients ✨ How he’s training doctors on breech and twin vaginal birth & why they don’t learn this ✨ The real risks (and benefits) of interventions like inductions, C-sections, and epidurals ✨ How systemic incentives—from insurance to pharmaceuticals—shape maternity care ✨ Why traditional midwifery skills are disappearing (and why we must protect them) ✨ How to reclaim sovereignty and informed choice in your birth experience

Noteworthy moments:

“Nature’s design in birth is brilliant. Our job is not to manage it, but to support it.”

“Fear drives too many decisions in obstetrics—and it’s costing women their power.”

Whether you’re preparing for birth, supporting someone who is, or passionate about women’s health, this conversation will give you tools, knowledge, and the confidence to navigate the system on your own terms.
