I’ve been listening to Maryn for a decade at Indie Birth and Taking Back Birth. I know that I am a better mother to my four boys thanks to hearing her confidently convey her views on not just birth, but on motherhood, how the world works, and our purpose here. It is such a different way of relating to the world than I had found from “mainstream” resources and it felt like the most true and natural common sense stuff. It’s a bit like a toolkit for decision making, where you can witness people doing what is right for them, and how they decided that, and that gives you more confidence to do the same with areas of your own life. When you start from a place of acknowledging the nature of reality (we don’t have control over anything other than how we choose to respond) and taking personal responsibility for yourself and your child and your familys well being, any topic is going to make more sense. Whether it is birth, death, the medical system, love, parenting, finances- it all becomes easier to navigate when you view these topics from an aligned with reality point of view. Depending on where you are along your journey that may either seem radical or just true. I don’t have personal role models for this way of thinking in my life, and I find it so helpful to listen to these episodes of Maryn and Jason discussing their lives and casually explaining the thinking behind some of their decisions. Thank you! ❤️
