Ep 299 - Kristen Nagle | Reclaiming Birth: A Former NICU Nurse's Reckoning

In this episode, we sit down with Kristen Nagle: former NICU nurse turned whistleblower and founder of Reclaiming Birth. Her story is the arc of a system insider who couldn't unsee what she was a part of — a hospital culture that worships intervention, a profession that pathologizes the female body, and a machine that punishes the nurses who name it. We trace her hero's journey from the injections she administered that she now warns against, through public termination and media smears, to a betrayal letter from inside her own family. We explore the pivot from fighting freedom to creating it, the home birth that rewrote her relationship to her body, and a vulnerable, never-before-shared reckoning with her role in routine circumcision. The foundation of the world begins in the womb — and every act of self-trust flows from whether we claimed that moment or handed it away.(00:00) Slandered in the Media(00:32) Opening Conversation(01:42) Meet Kristen(02:42) Motherhood Sparks Awakening(06:44) Seeing Vaccine Harm in NICU(16:01) COVID Hospital Restrictions(20:39) Betrayal Becomes Calling(31:33) Reclaiming Birth at Home(37:31) How Hospitals Took Over(42:15) Peace Begins At Birth(45:34) Fathers In The Birth Space(52:47) Fear Culture Around Babies(56:11) Canada Vs US on Freedom(58:32) Reclaiming Birth Conference (Why In-Person Matters)(01:06:49) Circumcision (A Nurse’s Perspective)(01:20:27) Reclaiming Birth EvolutionGuest LinksReclaiming Birth Conference [Discount code: HFTT15]WebsiteConnect with UsStart the Free 7-Day Self-Esteem ResetWatch Our EpisodesJoin our free Telegram communityJoin our membership Friends of the Truth
