Sara Ceiba Flores wants to disrupt the cis-het lens of family building. They are a queer, multi-gendered, Two-Spirit human, Registered Nurse, Certified Nurse Midwife, and Nurse Practitioner. They are also a parent who queerceived twice via at-home IUI, a home miscarriage-er, and a home live term birther. All this to say, Sara has an immense amount of experience in the world of birth.

In this conversation, Sara and Josie discuss the genesis of the word “queerception,” the impacts of the bio-medical industrial complex, and practices to inspire and protect joy and pleasure--during conception and beyond. Along with getting into the deep "whys" of the conversation, Sara also shares some practical options for queer, trans, and non-binary folks to conceive.
