Episode Description

What do you think of when you hear the word labor? If you’re anything like me, your first associations are probably horrible scenes out of a movie with women screaming in pain. If you have scary associations with labor, it makes sense! That’s all that most of us have heard. But what if it isn’t necessarily true?

In this special solo episode, I share my two birth stories, which were the most beautiful, empowering, embodied experiences of my life!

Listen in to hear me share:

Why my deep fear of needles pushed me to look into natural births
How conventional birth practices in the west have put doctors before mothers
Why feeling safe and empowered during birth can speed up labor and prevent complications
The resources that best supported me in having a natural, unmedicated birth
Both of my labor stories (and how my son was born in less than 2 hours)
How my birth stories helped me heal the distrust I developed with my body through infertility
And so much more!
