We are giving birth in a world where we don’t trust ourselves and we can’t trust authority. Our confidence in ourselves and our responsibility as parents have been taken from us by slow degrees.
I say we take it back.
why informed consent & consumption matter
In the age of information and “misinformation,” it can be overwhelming to try and sift through the conflicting opinions, advice, and science in our quest to make the best decisions for our children. As parents, we have to become overnight experts in birth, nutrition, health, and education, and it can feel impossible to know where to begin.
My 101 Series empowers parents to inform themselves prior to making decisions that can have lifelong consequences. Nothing in this world matters more than free will. Your journey to reclaim your freedom is just a click away.
I’m Caroline.
I’m a wife and homeschooling mother of four with a background in teaching, writing, research, nutrition, and ethics. I’m a certified health coach, a natural birth instructor, and a La Leche League leader. I’m passionate about informed consent and patient advocacy. I hope to empower parents to take back health, fertility, pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, nutrition, and education for themselves and their children.
