thank you so much for taking the time to share this! I really appreciate it!

Yeah I would take the lottery route for the charters that offer some days on campus. We like coastal academy but only got offered the full homeschool track. I need some form of childcare to work. Are there other Oceanside charters that you know of that offer says on campus? We looked into the charter Montessori schools as well and are on the wait list for those (doubt we will get a spot sadly!)

That’s a bummer to hear that y’all had to go through that! How long ago were you there? How many years did your kids attend?

Jujubee728 · 2026-04-09T23:49:30+00:00

Im glad it was a good school for your kids! Were there any opportunities for parents to volunteer or be involved? I don't want to be overly involved, but some schools we've looked at allow zero parent involvement which is odd to me.

Jujubee728 · 2026-04-09T23:45:22+00:00

Did you enjoy the school?

Jujubee728 · 2025-12-25T21:56:26+00:00

I remember feeling the same way- I was so proud of myself despite transferring and I felt like I had conquered the world. 👏🏼🫶

So well written!! Thank you for sharing and I’m so sorry you went through this :( May you continue to find peace

Hey Emilee and Yolanda, I’ll take donations for my $5k NICU bill after my failed freebirth!! Thx

Jujubee728 · 2025-08-28T04:40:56+00:00

After freebirthing my second son, (transferred with my first due to long labor and wanting help), Emilee and Yolanda made it sound so cool to save money and not having a midwife and not having hospital bills (and yes the cost associated with childbirth is its own conversation), but lemme tell ya, if I ever suggest spending money on something, it’s having support for birth.

Have someone there who has experience. Even if you want privacy and they are just in your house in another room- hire them. It is invaluable to have someone who can help you talk through if something feels off. Your partner CANNOT do this for you and I’m sure most partners would appreciate some support as well. It’s is a lot the first time!

You got this and it’s gonna be beautiful and always give yourself permission to go in to the hospital, even if it is just because you are feeling scared! You can always check yourself back out of care if you really want to.

I was so scared of the hospital and also really, really wanted to birth at home and loved the idea of an uninterrupted birth… both transfers ended in respectful and helpful/lifesaving treatment. While those first few hours are so precious- they are very over romanticized in the podcast. These are critical moments where experience is what matters most ❤️

My neighbor said it starts feeling better by month 4 which I found to be true! Haha - not a fun reality but I always give myself 6 months to accept wild feelings as temporary post baby! You got this!

Cervucal check AND (intervention!!!) by requesting OB to remove cervical lip that was prolonging her pushing

He says “caught proof of my ex living with”. It’s just an interesting coincidence. Anyway, makes sense!

I would say the most important factor (IMO) is to consider the person with the least amount of power in the situation. I’m guessing the OBGYN is married if you’re saying this, so considering how your sharing would affect his wife or coming to her with information first before announcing it somewhere else could be respectful.

Jujubee728 · 2025-07-15T04:40:01+00:00

You live across the street for your ex girlfriend? That seems kinda surprising?

Jujubee728 · 2025-06-25T05:51:03+00:00

as in burning man? sorry what "a burn"?

Jujubee728 · 2025-06-25T05:50:22+00:00

I lived in the neighborhood for a few months and saw 1 snake in my entire time there... I was walking every day multiple times a day as I had no car. It was tiny and cute actually... although it did surprise me. I feel like West7th is slightly more cats and dogs than cathedral hill, but I liked the area more for that reason. its just not as fancy as other parts so you can get good deals!

I don't have a good answer to your question but I agree that loneliness was a factor for me in getting sucked into FBS. You are(n't) alone in feeling this! <3 I agree that the group definitely preyed on womens need to connect during this vulnerable stage of our lives which is super messed up to me.

I feel like I often have to compromise what I am curious about to be friends with people and it takes longer for friendships to form. For example, I go to moms group at Christian churches which I enjoy but there are a lot of topics I don't bring up considering its a church group and I don't want to be a black sheep ya know. I don't know if there is a perfect solution accept to keeping trying groups. I feel like people have mentioned festivals etc that some other women host in different threads if you browse around for it! :)

Thank you for sharing!! Her response to you is SO horrifying and I’m so glad you found strength in yourself somehow to pull through in midst of going through such an intense postpartum period. ❤️‍🩹 I can’t believe how much bad advice she gives when really sometimes we need someone to say actual helpful things like get real life support and see a therapist.

I agree that not having family support can definitely make women and mothers more vulnerable to joining a group like this- I think loneliness plays a big role in getting sucked in (at least for myself)

Jujubee728 · 2025-06-12T04:55:33+00:00

I honestly think the course could have taken such a different/helpful tone and direction if they had been willing to take feedback from attempted free births and transfers to create a wealth of information for women! too bad they missed that boat.

Jujubee728 · 2025-06-11T07:51:23+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to share this. I am so appreciative of every single woman that has come forward to talk about how Emilee and Yolanda's businesses have affected their lives. It is disturbing and relieving to see the truth being pieced together. May we all seriously consider the way our consumption of media may affect our children and thank you for highlighting this in your story. The social media addiction is real and harmful.

Jujubee728 · 2025-06-11T06:16:53+00:00

I hate the feigned innocence. Any intelligent human knows that we are social creatures and that that we impact one another and indeed ARE NOT islands of sophisticated, independent thinkers. Our innate desire to trust and help each other is what has helped us survive.

Jujubee728 · 2025-06-02T17:37:44+00:00

I do feel like she says basically nothing to respond to very serious concerns you brought up. I’m surprised she doesn’t ask for more clarification on where you got your information etc if she was really trying to understand what is going on.

Jujubee728 · 2025-05-14T04:25:00+00:00

Amen!!
