This 6-pillar curriculum teaches the basic literacy we need to be personally and financially successful and to do so in a manner in which together we evolve a culture that supports the emergence of an advanced human civilization.
New mothers are propagandized before they ever become pregnant. In Jessica Bell’s view, the antidote is not to do battle with the old system but to patiently construct a new one.
I am looking forward to this. I am interested in the giving birth part for mothers.
I am grateful I was able to follow my gut feeling with my 3 pregnancies – that it was a rite of passage – and managed without pain medication or intervention at the birth houses. So many mothers have traumatic birth stories, it makes me weep. And it makes me not tell anyone how wonderful mine was and could have been for them.
Everywhere supplements for pregnancy, prams and cots for sale but not a lot of encouragement and education for natural births. This lady is also a good resource for anyone interested: Eyla Cuenca, Uncovering Birth https://www.uncoveringbirth.com/
It is not simple to give birth without pain meds but we are made to withstand and experience the process. God did not make a mistake.
I got to meet Jessica at the Weston Price conference last year. She was so nice and very knowledgeable about health. I loved her re-vessel products, they are on my to-do list to purchase for my family!
As a former labor and delivery RN and current certified lay-midwife assistant, I can tell you that pregnancy is not a medical condition like they treat it in the hospital.
If I got to give birth to my boys all over again, I would give birth in the woods, far away from anyone who was trained in the medical system!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Great job!

This is a fantastic interview! Both sides of our extended family are asleep. We have zero commonalities in lifestyle, diet, health, finance (we have goals, they react along the way), education (we chose to homeschool). It makes relatives distant and we don’t have any quality time with them. I’m sad that the grandparents do try to undermine and mock us which leads us to low contact. I love them and I know the children miss that special bond, they don’t even know the grandparents because the grandparents cannot have total control and they do not want to be part of life with us “because we have too many rules”. The rules pertain to food, nontoxic fabrics, no screen time, no sugar, no vaccines, no food dyes, no fluoride, no staying up til midnight. They say we are too demanding, when literally these are the hills to die on to perpetuate our children’s’ health. Oh dear. It is soul crushing.
Fortunately, we have found many like minds young and old and in between. It is always painful that those are not our own families. This is a beautiful interview.
I did have two children in a hospital – whoa, big regret! I barely made it in time to deliver and in retrospect, should have just delivered them in the back yard at home. The experience was stressful and traumatic only because of the hospital. A horrendous place to be. The pressure to vaccinate, the pressure to cut the umbilical cord, the pressure to separate us immediately.
Cherie, I am so sorry that you have been treated rudely for your desire to live carefully. We older parents are all fallen creatures in one way or another but I hope that things get better and you truly find your tribe.
Excellent interview so far! Just about 1/3 of the way through it but wanted to comment on this before I forget. Vanessa – I laughed at your comment about everyone becoming an expert advice-giver. We experienced the same thing and I assume it will continue through every stage of raising children! (Our kids are 4 and 2.) My wife has this saying…”everyone will give you advice…just remember that nobody knows better than you. Take the mindset that every bit of advice contains a little pearl — some pearls help you to know what to do and some pearls help you to know what not to do — and ultimately it’s up to you to take those pearls and make your own necklace.” This mindset helped her keep a positive attitude when everyone was telling her how to raise our kids. I hope this helps!
Ricardo, Vanessa and Jessica- if your family vehicle ever breaks down in Southwest MI, you are welcome to camp at our home in Southwest MI. So proud of you three and all you are doing to grow and parent in the challenges we face today! Great Conversations.
Great interview and absolutely in line with where I am add as a Dad with a young 3 yo daughter and another on the way. I have managed to successfully manage many aspects of parenthood so far, but it feels as though the pitfalls get more difficult every year, but I am doing my best to build out of it. I am curious why you haven’t done mentor Dads to this point? Frankly I’d be happy to help build or work on it. To Ricardo’s point there are a lot things we can’t do ourselves as men but much of the direction and research to prepare for the future of my children is shaped by me as a Dad especially in line with the minefield of modern parenthood in the US. I would be happy to help build it if interested although I can’t necessarily classify myself as a young builder anymore.What about Mentor Dad’s? I’d be happy to help build it. I believe it’s or duty to do whatever we can to be present for our children

I have sure learned a lot and am still learning.

Yes, agree we need an edit button. On the list. Great suggestion on mentor dads. Have sent to Ricardo.
