Birthing Instincts #285 Hey Joe Rogan: Home Birth Isnât Dangerous
Today, Dr. Stu and Blyss are addressing the misinformation on home births that was discussed on The Joe Rogan Experience with comedian Bridget Phetasy. As the comedians talk about Bridgetâs C-section and use comedy to ease discomfort, they flippantly share inaccurate statistics and comments that promote fear and limiting perspectives around childbirth.

491: Allowed to Birth: Live from Ashland
What happens when following the "standard of care" means denying a woman the birth she wants?
And who gets to decide what that standard should be?
After our Allowed to Birth screening in Ashland, the conversation got a little uncomfortable. Just the way we like it.
Dr. Stu, Blyss, filmmaker Jacinta Lagos, and birth rights attorney Hermine Hayes-Klein tackle some of the biggest questions facing maternity care today.
Listen to our latest episode of Birthing Instincts, wherever you get your podcasts.

490: When the System Says No: A Twin Birth Story of Trust and Transformation
One embryo. Two babies. And a birth story that challenges just about everything we've been taught about twins.
What happens when a woman trusts her body, questions the system, and refuses to let fear write her birth story?
This week, Blyss and I welcome Ashley, whose journey to motherhood took more than a few unexpected turns. After eight years of trying to conceive, an IVF transfer led to a surprise no one quite knew how to explain. But that was only the beginning.
What followed was a roller coaster of medical warnings, conflicting opinions, a midwifery team that dropped her by text, and a determination to birth on her own terms.
And just when you think you've heard it all, wait until you hear how these two little girls finally entered the world.
This is more than a twin birth story. It's a conversation about intuition, informed choice, the limitations of modern obstetrics, and what becomes possible when we stop treating every variation of normal as a pathology.
Blyss was there for the birth, and I'm hearing much of the story for the first time. Believe me, it's a good one.
Are we protecting women from risk, or are we sometimes protecting the system from allowing women to choose?
Pull up a chair, fellow travelers. You won't want to miss this one.
About Ashley Sheffer
Ashley is a mother, creative spirit, and self-described âever-changing goddessâ whose journey has taken her through the worlds of natural health and wellness, entrepreneurship, technology, and music. After years of wearing many different hats, she's now embracing her favorite role yet: being a mom.
With a deep connection to nature, intuition, and holistic living, Ashley has traded the hustle of city life for a quieter existence surrounded by woods, chickens, and family. Her journey through motherhood has been anything but conventional, and her extraordinary twin birth story is a beautiful reflection of her belief in trusting her body and following her own path.

This FriYAY belongs to Ashland.
We left feeling incredibly grateful for the people who traveled, gathered, shared, laughed, learned, and reminded us why community matters so much.
And we donât want it to be a one-time thing.
Weâre already looking toward October 2027, and before we decide what that gathering looks like, we want to hear from you.
What would YOU travel for?
Take the survey at the link in our bio and help us create something worth carving out the time for.
See you next year, fellow travelers!
And don't forget to share your win for the week so we can celebrate together!!

489: How We Choose To Respond Is Our Choice
Can we prepare for the birth we want while still surrendering to the birth we get?
Our guest, Jenee Carlson, experienced two births that couldn't have been more different. Her first was a home birth filled with suffering. Her second? A free birth she describes as completely painless, peaceful, and blissful.
Same woman. Same body. So what changed?
Jenee joins us to explore the power of our beliefs, the conditioning that teaches women to distrust their instincts, and what happens when we stop outsourcing our authority to everyone else.
We get into manifestation, meditation, generational trauma, the uncomfortable truth about personal responsibility, and why some people seem downright offended when another woman has a beautiful birth experience.
About JenĂŠe
JenĂŠe is a prenatal mentor helping women across the globe align with their dream birth experience through intentional mindset shifts, paradigm transformation, guided meditation, & nervous system regulation. Her work bridges neuroscience & intuition, helping women understand how their beliefs, thoughts, & emotions can shape their birth experience. She guides women to reconnect with possibility & consciously create the experience they desire.
After experiencing two profoundly contrasting birthsâfrom a homebirth full of suffering to a freebirth that was completely PAINLESS, calm, & filled with blissâJenĂŠe discovered firsthand that a difficult birth experience does not have to define what is possible in the future. That transformation changed the course of her life & her work.
Since then, she has supported women from Mexico to Australia, & across the United States. Her experiences have shaped an empowerment-based framework, that provides women with the tools to approach their birth experience with greater awareness, intention, & trust.
