A Raw and Personal Third 40-Week Wrap Up with Jonny & Emilee

A Raw and Personal Third 40-Week Wrap Up with Jonny & Emilee

What do you do when you're in the middle of your third pregnancy and a hate group forms to threaten your life?


In this Season 9 premier, I sit down with my husband—and third-time guest—Jonny, for a raw and real 40-week wrap-up.


We share honestly about what this year has demanded: deep growth, hard decisions, and the very real emotional weight of being publicly attacked while stewarding this freebirth movement.



We talk openly about our major fails in business and community building, our shift towards the private sector, and how we’re preparing to welcome our third baby at home while holding our family steady.


You’ll Learn:


  • What it feels like to navigate a pregnancy marked by nausea, migraines, and total slowdown
  • The story behind Jonny quitting his 6-figure job and choosing to stay home to live as an "intact" family.
  • Why their attempt to build a private school in rural North Carolina failed despite major investment
  • The surprising link between moving during COVID and outgrowing their super rural life five years later
  • What happens when you face a smear campaign and community fallout while running a business
  • How pregnancy became a catalyst for burning down what no longer fit their family and business
  • How Emilee chooses to question her inherited stories around scarcity and overwhelm in motherhood and walk a new path
