080: Reflections on Pregnancy, Identity, and Ancestry — A Reading from Angel's Substack

In this special episode, we continue our three-part series on birth and parenthood. Today, I read from Angel's deeply personal Substack article, which explores the emotional and spiritual journey through pregnancy, identity, and the transition into parenthood. This piece offers a raw and honest look at grief, transformation, and the ancestral threads woven into new life. I am very honored they let me share this with you. If you missed last week's episode, be sure to listen to Angel and Joe's home birth story for the full context of their journey.
