Time to Heal: Radical Birthkeeping

What does birth have to do with healing? Everything! "When we heal birth, we heal the world" says this week's guest, Emily Bruce, a fertility educator, radical birthkeeper and podcaster. Emily co-hosts the Fifth Element Podcast with Keighlee Anastasia, bringing listeners closer to their own inner wisdom. In this episode, Emily shares wisdom about birth, community and the importance of women - a message that is medicine for the world right now.

The Answer Is Right Here and It's Matriarchy

From a very young age, Emily Bruce was drawn to understanding global female oppression and committed herself to learn what she could do about the liberation of women and girls. Emily tells us of the life changing experience of living in a mothering home that provided support to otherwise homeless women. Seeing what a woman-centered supportive household offered, and within that- witnessing the sincere transformation of mothers- soon cemented Emily’s unwavering belief in the need for matriarchy. Now a Radical Birth Keeper and a part of the Free Birth Society team, Emily shares her own story of transformation in birth work.

Emily from Leo Rising Birthkeeping and I spoke very shortly after the Great Conjunction back in December 21, 2020 - and had LOTS to say about the ways in which this shift is going to change the face of birth, the way women operate in the world and the rebirth of matriarchy!

Emily tells us about her journey into birthwork and astrology, how the two collided to create her 'Moon Womb Readings' and how her experience as a live-in volunteer at a shelter for birthing women changed the way shevviewed sisterhood, women's spaces, female community and medicalized birth.

BUILDING A WORKPLACE FOR WOMEN with THE FIFTH ELEMENT PODCAST [Do What You Can For The People]

On this week’s episode of #DWYCFTP I chat with the hosts of the Fifth Element Podcast, Emily Bruce & Keighlee Anastasia, about periods, the patriarchy, and patterns of systemic oppression in the workplace. Did you know that women operate on an infradian rhythm as well as a circadian rhythm? The infradian rhythm follows a monthly cycle, much like the moon, and each phase offers a different superpower for women to tap into. Unfortunately, most women operate in a workplace built by and for men that ask them to show up with the same energy levels and mindset everyday. In this episode, Emily, Keighlee & I imagine what a world could look like if we started listening to and living more in flow with our bodies and natural cycles.

What is Radical Birth Keeping?

“Radical” comes from the Latin word meaning “root”, and that’s exactly what Emily wants to see in the world when it comes to birth work. Today, your host describes her journey to the world of radical birth keeping, and reminds us that peace on earth begins with birth.
