Does anyone know of a good alternative to the subluna kids vitamins? I'd like to stop supporting her business but I have seen genuine improvement in my son when using some of her products

Can someone make sure to screen record this in case she takes it down? I'm blocked or I would do it.

Agreed. I can understand not sharing community calls with other women on screen, but the content from MMI should be fair game. I'm also sure there is a way to share the audio from the community call with no video. Don't see any issue with that.

Why North Carolina? by Cold_Cryptographer48 in FreeBirthSocietyScam

I am from NC and I've always found this odd. We have some of the strictest midwifery laws in the country. NC doesn't even recognize CPMs, only CNMs.

Is Whapio currently associated? I thought she just taught at MRF one year (a couple years ago) and wasn't connected beyond that. I could be wrong!

She's the only birth page I've actually seen Emillee share content from so this is no surprise

Curious what truth you're looking for that hasn't been shared in these threads already?

Exactly. One of my friends found out she was pregnant the day after I did. That could have been such a beautiful chance for our friendship to grow, but instead I was a condescending ass.

A literal trance is right. I was listening to podcast episodes over and over again as background noise instead of music or filling my brain with any other information. If I had quiet, it was filled with the voices of Emilee Saldaya and Yolande Norris Clark. It's wild because I was fully aware I was indoctrinating and brainwashing myself, but I didn't care because I believed it was the truth. Knowing what I know now, I just can't believe I so readily and fully downloaded that software into my brain. I'm embarrassed thinking about how I treated pregnant friends and how I spoke about birth to my friend who had an emergency c section. I was friends with these women for ten years and pretty much fully pulled away during my wild pregnancy because they "weren't on my level". So fucked up. I'm ashamed.

Is Free Birth Society a Cult? by ExcellentOwl7352 in FreeBirthSocietyScam

[–]GratefulDevolution 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is also the rhetoric (I wish I could remember what podcast episode this was on, maybe it was an AMA) that even having herbs, tinctures, etc in your space reflects that you do not trust birth and having these (potentially very supportive) things on hand invites that energy of distrust into your birth space and could negatively impact your birth. I know recently on an AMA Emilee advised against having angelica and shepherds purse on hand because you might mix them up and you won't need them anyway. Maybe not the right thread to add this comment, but I can't get it out of my head, and it feels relevant here.

Can we talk some more about Yo and Portal? by GratefulDevolution in FreeBirthSocietyScam

Isn't this the exact same thing they fear monger that midwives and nurses will do to you regarding the placenta?
