Description

Isabella Malbin, the host of the “Whose Body Is It” podcast, is also a life-coach, hypnotist and former "liberal" feminist turned radical truth teller.Isabella shares what initially peaked her years ago; euphemistic, sanitized terms like “belly birth” in lieu of cesarean section is just one example.We hear why she was kicked out of her Fertility Awareness Training program and why her Doula training program found her vernacular rooted in truth and refusal to erase “women” and “mother” from her vocabulary to be a threat.Why none of us on this recording use pronouns.Isabella theorizes on the root cause of the uprising of female erasure in language amongst most birth workers. Why is “inclusive language” actually more harmful than innocuous? Isn’t there a seat for everyone at the table?We debate the question “just because you can do something, does it mean you should?” when it comes to ART (assisted reproductive technology). Why do some cultures justify surrogacy whereas others accept pregnancy may not be in the cards?Are guilt and shame actually healthy reactions to our choices instead of emotions we should aim to avoid?Donate to Isabella’s friend Marva Zohar’s nonprofit, Land Where Women Heal, so Israeli survivors of the Hamas attacks can receive life-saving services.Donate to Isabella's personal campaign for immediate therapeutic help for Israeli survivors of the Oct 7th attack created in memory of her late father.Links to Isabella’s masterclasses and private group coaching community:The Medical & Legal Ethics of IVF & SurrogacyUnpacking Common Myths & Misconceptions About Indigenous Two-Spirit & Third Genders Master ClassInoculating Our Children Against Transgender Ideology Master ClassGetting Real About Porn: Examining the Industry of Anti-Woman PropagandaThe Great Reset of Motherhood: Gender Identity, Transhumanist Tech & the Theft of BirthContent & ConfidenceBecome the ResolutionYou can view our resources here.If you have a question or would like to work with us 1:1, please book with us here.For discounts across our favorite products and services, check out our affiliate links/codes.If you're feeling philanthropic, please consider making a financial donation— even $5 goes a long way in helping us reach a wider audience to help other moms and soon-to-be moms think more critically and have the courage to mother against the mainstream.

Tired of outdated and conventional motherhood advice? Are you anti- (insert "Big" + industry name) exploiting the mother-baby dyad for financial gain? Do you prefer to think critically about practices and philosophies across the pregnancy to motherhood spectrum? If you said "yes" to any of the above questions, then you're going to fit right in. Don't worry— this is not another "mainstream mama" podcast.Whether you are a soon-to-be mom or a seasoned mom who has "seen it all," April and Kat promise to never shy away from topics that are far too controversial to discuss at the local playground with the "normie" moms or with your child's pediatrician. These topics should not be controversial at all, but sadly in our highly-censored society, almost anything can be interpreted as such.We're so glad you discovered us! Join us every other Friday as we step outside of our comfort zones, say what many of you are thinking but too afraid to admit out loud, and examine mainstream mom narratives through a funny and honest lens. We may just even change your mind about deeply held beliefs if you're open to it!
