It's a Podcast and a birth worker mentorship all in one.
We actually have three podcast series, our original Taking Back Birth, the Birth Warrior Podcast, and Midwifery for the People...
You can check out all three here.
The Indie Birth Podcast Series
This is the original podcast series that Maryn started at the beginning of her 7th pregnancy in 2013. The collection has been called "total gold", and covers nearly every topic imaginable from preconception through early mothering.
Taking Back Birth
Birth Warrior Podcast
This is for those of you who love your birth stories straight up and from the source. All birth stories, all the time. Get out your kleenex!
what you'll learn here:
Midwifery for the People
Midwifery for the People is hosted by Margo, and is a treasure trove of interviews, topic specific episodes, fly-on-the-wall coaching sessions, and more.

Meet the duo behind Indie Birth
We are mamas and midwives who decided to do birth differently– and bring others along with us. We are radical, fun to work with, and great at (lovingly) calling people on their bullshit to help move us all towards a new more beautiful world. With 12 children and over two decades of midwifery between us, we’ve learned a thing or two along the way, and Indie Birth is our space to share it all with you.
Margo and Maryn
The People
Storytelling is a powerful agent of change. We are so excited to be offering a new podcast series of inspiring stories of birth from our Indie Birth Community!

I found Indie Birth when I was planning my first unassisted home birth. I think I found the website first and then your podcast. I accidentally stumbled upon it and quickly realized I had struck gold. I am a birth nerd and hope to one day be at least a midwife assistant.
"I have listened to nearly all the podcasts."

Indie Birth honestly got me through PPD after moving to a new town where I knew no one. They helped me feel less alone and I learned a ton! I love all of them!

A friend of mine was planning a birth that would be just her and her husband at home maybe 6 years ago, that concept blew my mind - so I googled "giving birth yourself" and came across Indie Birth. I learned you had a podcast and all the resources and started listening.
"I love everything
you do!"
