Your Placenta Is Sacred… So Why Is It Being Used Like This?

What if one of the most powerful organs your body creates… is being misunderstood, discarded—or even commercialized?

In this powerful live conversation, I sit down with Elmira Farnoosh, LM, CPM, a highly experienced Certified Professional Midwife with over 20 years of supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Together, we explore:

✨ The true purpose and power of the placenta

✨ What actually happens to placentas after birth

✨ The rise of placenta use in modern industries (including skincare…)

✨ The emotional, physical, and spiritual significance of this sacred organ

✨ How mothers can reclaim awareness and connection to their birth experience This is a conversation every mother—and future mother—needs to hear. Because your placenta isn’t just “medical waste”… It’s life-giving. It’s intelligent. It’s sacred. And what we choose to do with it matters.
