This podcast episode with guest Dakota Mays focused heavily on natural, conscious birth plans and the role of the modern father.

Dakota, preparing for his first child, detailed his and his partner's plans for a natural birth in a secluded valley in Guatemala. He explained his supportive, hands-off approach to the birth, prioritizing his partner's comfort and aiming for a minimal-intervention experience with a midwife.

Jack, Nate and Dakota criticized hospital births, advocating for natural, home-based deliveries while warning against unnecessary medical procedures like C-sections and epidurals. Nate shared his past experiences with hospital births and his later choice for more natural options.

The group stressed the father's need to be intentional and conscious about childbirth choices, even as they acknowledged the unpredictability of labor. Dakota discussed the challenges of his alternative parenting content and affirmed his choice to avoid conventional medical practices.
