What kind of Crazy title is that for a blog post? Well, on the show tonight I will be talking with Dayna Martin, unschooling mom, doula, and author of SEXY BIRTH. So of course we will be discussing all things unschooling and when you get two doulas together, you know we are going to talk about birth, new book or not. If you don’t know who Dayna Martin is allow me to illuminate (I totally took the following off her site): 
Dayna Martin has been at the forefront of the unschooling movement for the past decade. Author of, Radical Unschooling: A Revolution Has Begun, she’s been featured on Dr. Phil, CNN, Nightline, and Fox News several times. She was even used as an informational resource for Unschooling stories on the Discovery Channel, The Today Show and Our America on the OWN Network. She travels the world as the UnNanny, and is a featured speaker at the major unschooling conferences worldwide.
As an unschooling parent, author, and advocate, Dayna has been featured and interviewed in hundreds of local, regional, and international television and radio pieces about Radical Unschooling over the last several years. She and her husband Joe appeared as the featured guests on Dr. Phil Show in November 2006 introducing Radical Unschooling to the world.
Dayna’s family was featured in a controversial Nightline episode with Juju Chang about Radical Unschooling philosphy. Dayna was also live via satellite on Australia’s most popular morning news program, Morning Sunrise, sharing about Unschooling philosophy.
Radical Unschooling is an evolution of our understanding about learning and the rights and respect of children. We are on the cusp of change and many people are looking for alternatives to the traditional schooling model. With Unschooling, we are reprioritizing. We are taking back our freedom and putting happiness, connection and family first!
After we talk about unschooling we will discuss her new New Book SEXY BIRTH. There are two words you never hear together that’s like Lemonade Vampire. I can’t wait to see how
she is presenting Childbirth like this! As per her usual self, Dayna is yet again smashing through conventional wisdom and making us think in ways we never considered.
Here’s a snippet from her book:
“Being responsible for your birth means shifting from a cultural place of control, to a place of trust and inner knowing that all is well and as it should be. It is a space of acceptance for what is and then from that position of well-being, informed decisions can be made. Making decisions from a place of fear or worry isn’t ideal, but unfortunately, in our culture, fear is what fuels most decisions. It is no wonder that birth becomes something very scary for most women. ” Page 2 of Sexy Birth
Huh, sounds a lot like what you need to unschool, no fear! I knew it was all connected!
