  • Warning - Dangerous Advice

    I used to like this podcast because I’m all about empowering women and families to have choice in their bodies and births, but once I became aware of the seriously dangerous neglect and misinformation that is spread by this pod and their team, I had to remove my support and let others know. Check out the many articles and reports about how hurtful and dangerous this group and their leader are for many women and families.
