Shownotes

Join Shannon Salge for a heartfelt conversation with Jessica Leigh, home birth and freebirth guide and emotional embodiment coach. Jessica is passionate about helping women move beyond fear, trust their bodies, and experience birth as an empowering, transformative event—on their own terms.

In this episode, Jessica shares her own journey from paramedic to birth advocate, and how she now supports women in preparing for home and freebirth with confidence and clarity. She unpacks the emotional layers of pregnancy and birth, and offers practical wisdom for anyone seeking a more intuitive, self-guided experience.

You’ll hear about:

  1. How Jessica helps women build trust in their bodies and instincts, even after years of conditioning to fear birth
  2. The most common fears and anxieties women face when considering home or freebirth—and what’s really underneath those feelings
  3. Practical tools and daily practices for emotional and energetic preparation, including embodiment work, mindset shifts, and self-compassion exercises
  4. Why inner healing and self-trust are just as important as physical preparation for birth and postpartum
  5. How to navigate the emotional and energetic challenges of postpartum, and why this time is just as transformative as birth itself
  6. Real-life stories of women who reclaimed their power and confidence through Jessica’s guidance
  7. Encouragement and actionable steps for anyone feeling called to birth outside the medical system but held back by fear or uncertainty
  8. Jessica’s message for every woman: your body is wise, you are capable, and you deserve to feel safe and supported in your birth journey
