On this week's episode of the Be Loud About What Matters podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with Chris Linscome. Over the course of the next hour, Chris opens up about his healing journey and what he's learned about health, his decision to leave Naturopathic medical school, and his vision for himself and his family in the coming years.
Chris is a writer, former naturopathic medical student, current truck driver, soldier, husband and father, and truth and meaning seeker. In 2021 he walked away from medical school, unwilling to sacrifice his integrity and principles for an education and medical career. He formally studied Christian history and theology for several years in Chicago and England before deciding on a medical career. While attending Columbia University in NYC for his premedical studies, Chris seriously considered monastic life, staying at a monastery in a discernment process for a brief time. Eventually, his patriotic impulse led him to enlist in the United States Army, where he served as an airborne infantryman in the 82nd Airborne. Chris started his studies in Classical Chinese medicine and Naturopathic medicine in Portland, OR in 2017 but voluntarily left after the madness of 2020 and beyond. He has been enjoying a slow and deliberate unbecoming in this season of life while he continues to write and be thankful for the beautiful, unexpected journey.

On this week's episode of the Be Loud About What Matters Podcast, I'm FINALLY chatting with my dear friend Dr. Sarah Granite. She shares a bit about her own births, how she became comfortable using her voice, why it's so important to be informed and know all your options going into birth, AND why unnecessary inductions happen, specifically around the holidays. This episode empowers and encourages women to do their own research, heal, and boldly advocate for themselves.
Dr. Sarah is a chiropractor, birth educator, artist and mother of 3 boys. After her first birth, an unnecessary c-section, left her with PTSD, depression & anxiety, she decided to freebirth her second son, which completely healed her. She knew she couldn’t be alone in her obstetric abuse & birth trauma stories, so she started connecting with women on Instagram through her account @birthuprising, only to learn how rampant the mistreatment truly is. Through her consults, workshops & handouts she helps women to think critically about their prenatal care & birth, and to realize that there are more options than they're being told.
