This is The Guardian.
Hi, it's Helen here.
Today in Focus is taking a little Christmas break so that we can recharge our batteries ready for 2026.
While we're off, we're bringing you the latest series of Guardian Investigates.
It's presented by reporters Sharon Kahler and Lucy Osborne,
and it tells the story of how two influencers made millions radicalising pregnant women around the world.
Today, part one.
Hi, I'm Shireen Kalle, and I'm Lucy Osbourne.
You're listening to The Birth Peepers, a new six-part series on The Guardian Investigates.
Just before we start, this series contains references to baby loss and maternal harm.
You have the crown.
I can't believe it.
That's the crown.
It's one of them.
Gosh, I recognise it.
Yeah.
It's summer, earlier this year, and my guardian colleague,
the investigative reporter Lucy Osborne, is in Omaha, Nebraska.
She's interviewing a woman called Serendipity Day who works for a business called the Free Birth Society,
FBS, led by the influencer Emily Sardare.
