We source our tallow regeneratively from ranchers we’ve looked in the eye and walked their land 🤠♥️
We use zero plastic in our packaging, only safe, eco-friendly materials that respect both your body and the earth.
We’re proudly made in America, the country we live in and love. 🇺🇸
And we built our brand on the same values this country was founded on , which is why it’s engraved in our logo.
This mission goes far beyond skincare. We provide free resources through our monthly blog and daily content, to share the health and wellness practices we actually live by and can honestly say have transformed
our own lives.
We’ve seen how much people are hurting mentally, physically, emotionally. We want to help people change the trajectory of their lives.
Our products are just our entry point.
That’s why this partnership with Pure Basics Collective just makes sense. A platform rooted in values we believe in. A space for people waking up, choosing better, and demanding more.
We’re honored to be here, not just as a brand, but as a part of a bigger shift.♥️🤍💙
A lot of new faces here. So here’s what Born To Be Free is all about: 🧵
Mine and my husbands’ journey started in 2020, when the world flipped upside down.
Things didn’t make sense, so we started questioning everything.
And what we found shocked us:
Money is corrupt.
Food isn’t food.
Medicine is broken.
Education is a joke.
We’ve been lied to about almost everything.
And yeah…… our friends and family think we’re nuts 🤪
We realized… the system isn’t broken.
It was built this way.
And if we wanted to protect our family, our health, and our future,
we had to step outside of it.
So we stopped outsourcing our health.
We stopped believing the experts.
We started learning from our ancestors, our intuition, and our land.
That’s where Born To Be Free began.
We didn’t set out to sell skincare.
We set out to create a new way to live.
We’ve traveled the country shaking hands with the people behind our products, like Redbanks Beef Farm in the Shenandoah Valley.
We source our tallow regeneratively, from ranchers we know by name and who treat their cattle with dignity.
We use zero plastic.
Only ingredients your skin is compatible with and that your body actually recognizes.
Everything we make is sourced and made in America the country we live in and love
We’ve seen how much people are hurting mentally, physically, emotionally.
We want to help change the trajectory of their lives.
Skincare is just our entry point.
We also share the health and wellness practices we actually live by and can honestly say have transformed our own lives.
We believe in collaboration, not competition.
Alignment, not algorithms.
Sovereignty, not systems.
Born To Be Free isn’t just a product.
It’s a declaration.
I've been diving down the rabbit hole of Home births vs "traditional" hospital births and I can't believe the majority of women in the US are giving birth in a hospital🫠
C-sections soared from 5% in the 1900s to 32% currently
Drugs like Pitocin are a big driver, which is a synthetic version of oxytocin, the hormone your body makes to kickstart contractions.
Docs use it to speed labor or induce. About 20% of US births get it🌡️
Problem is, it’s not gentle. Studies peg a 10% risk of postpartum hemorrhage. Your uterus overworks, bleeds out after delivery, needing transfusions in severe cases.
Then there’s tachysystol, 15% of Pitocin users hit this, meaning over five contractions in 10 minutes, squeezing too hard, too fast.
That stresses the baby. 20% show distress, like heart rate dips, pushing docs to cut fast 🩺. It’s not “help”, it’s a gamble.
Epidurals pile on. They numb pain.
60% of hospital births use ‘em but 15% of moms see blood pressure tank, risking oxygen flow to the kid.
Labor slows in 20%, per ACOG data, contractions weaken, progress stalls.
Fevers hit 10%, upping infection odds, docs panic, grab the scalpel.
Why?
Time’s money, hospitals want beds free, not mom’s birthing slow. Plus, the Doctors need to make it home for dinner
Back in the 1900s, labor took days, no rush.
Now? 32% end in surgery for “slow” labor,
often just normal pace rushed by Pitocin 🌩️
Then there’s the flat-back flop.
Hospitals strap you supine, against gravity, pelvis tightens.
Studies show 30% more pain because your body fights itself.
Labor’s 25% slower, dilation drags, exhaustion sets in.
Midwives at home let you squat, stand, 25% faster births, 30% less tearing.
Hospitals are a business. It’s a profit trap, 32% cesareans prove it flops hard 💸.
Now let's talk home births with midwives
Cesarean rates plummet to 6%.
National Birth Center Study II’s 15,574 births prove it. 93% go vaginal, only 0.9% need emergency transfers 🌿
That’s 14,500 moms delivering naturally, 89% stay home.
Fetal mortality? 0.47 per 1,000.
Hospital low-risk hits 0.6 per 1,000. MANA’s 17,000 home births clock 2.06 per 1,000 neonatal deaths. 87% of vaginal births after cesarean succeed, crushing hospital’s 13.5%.
No Pitocin’s 3x rupture risk in scarred moms, no epidural’s 10% infection spike. Midwives let you squat, pelvis opens 10%, labor’s 25% faster (2-3 hours off), tearing drops 30% 🏡
Netherlands’ 20% home births? 1.8 per 1,000 mortality, US’s 1%? 3.9 per 1,000.
Don't forget mother-baby connection:
Hospital lights and noise spike cortisol more than 25%. Stress blocks oxytocin, slowing everything.
Home’s quiet keeps it low, oxytocin flows, mom and baby bond deep, skin-to-skin from the jump, breastfeeding kicks in 50% faster than hospital’s 2-hour delay 💪
Midwives are far better than being in a hospital, 12% transfers, mostly chill, safer stats, natural flow. Hospitals see you as income.
The best option in my opinion is a free birth. Hire a Doula if you’re nervous but talk about true sovereignty
You seeing this Western Woman?
Entrepreneurship is so misunderstood.
People think working for yourself means working less, like it’s some shortcut to a 4-hour workweek.
The reality is entrepreneurs often work more than 40 hours a week. The difference is, we don’t see it the same way.
Because when you’re building something that’s yours, something that aligns with your values, your mission, and your purpose, it doesn’t feel like work in the way most people think.
We don’t live for weekends. We don’t count down to 5pm. We blend our lives with our business, not because we have to, but because we want to. It fuels us. It excites us. It fulfills us.
The key is doing something you care about so deeply, you'd do it without being paid. And when you find that thing? That’s when the game changes. That’s when the long hours don’t drain you, they build you.
This path isn’t about working less. It’s about working differently. Giving back to society by providing REAL value.
With purpose. With freedom. On your terms.
Build it. Own it. Live it. 🇺🇸 ✌️
Ever notice how real healthy food actually tastes better?
I’m not talking about bland salads and dry chicken breast.
I’m talking about grass-fed butter.
Raw milk. Wild blueberries.
Food that hits your soul.
They had to make real food look boring and tasteless.
Otherwise you wouldn’t crave their lab junk.
And it worked!
Now people think “eating healthy” means punishing yourself with flavorless garbage.
Meanwhile, they wrecked the most nutritious foods.
Exhibit A - dairy
A hundred years ago, nobody was scared of milk.
Nobody was pounding almond water or oat sludge.
They drank the real thing and thrived.
So what changed?
1. They processed it to death.
Pasteurized. Homogenized. Fortified. They stripped out the life and sold it back weaker.
2. They destroyed lactase, the enzyme that helps you digest milk naturally.
3. They warped the fat molecules so your body doesn’t recognize them anymore.
And now everyone thinks milk is the enemy.
It’s not milk.
It’s what they did to it.
Real raw milk still contains the enzymes, the good bacteria, and the structure your body actually knows how to use.
Humans thrived on it for thousands of years without a problem.
The problem started when we let companies mess with it.
The truth is, real food isn’t boring.
Real food isn’t dangerous.
Real food isn’t the enemy.
Fake food is.
This is a hill I’m willing to die on
