  • Resumen

  • Step into to the wild, untamed heart of childbirth. HEAR ME ROAR is more than a podcast—it’s part of a movement toward birthing in freedom, sovereignty, and unshakable trust in our bodies. Co-hosted by Sarah Hawley and Brittany Costello, this space celebrates the reclamation of the fierce, intuitive power within every woman. Through raw, unfiltered conversations, we’ll explore the lasting impact of medicalized births on women’s lives and the transformative journeys that lead them to free birth. Our guests share deeply personal experiences—of disillusionment with medical births, the very real and traumatic consequences they’ve experienced, and the healing, empowerment, and liberation they discovered through birthing in sovereignty. By weaving ancient wisdom with bold conversations, HEAR ME ROAR challenges conventional narratives and honors birth as sacred, raw, and ours to define. Whether you’re preparing for your own journey or seeking solidarity, this is your space to listen, learn, and roar in your truth.

    Mar 16 2025
    In this episode, Sarah & Britt speak with Lauren, a mother of two from Austin, who shares her transformative journey from a medicalized first birth to a redemptive free birth. Lauren recounts her first pregnancy in New York City under the care of a home birth midwife who dropped her at the end of pregnancy and sent her to the hospital which led to her traumatic hospital induction experience during the COVID-19 pandemic. Feeling abandoned and disillusioned by the medical system, Lauren decides to pursue a wild pregnancy and free birth for her second child. As Lauren delves into free birth communities and uncovers the power of physiological birth, she prepares for and ultimately experiences a peaceful, sovereign birth at home.
