Evelyn’s Stories of Home Birth After Cesarean and Following Her Intuition Birth, Baby! Ep.188

Evelyn Houder is back to share her stories of home birth after cesarean and her transformative journey through motherhood. She details the contrast of these experiences with pregnancy, birth, and postpartum compared to her first. From her initial struggles with IVF to her decision to pursue a home birth, Evelyn emphasizes the importance of intuition, advocacy, and finding the right support during the birthing process. She reflects on the unique challenges posed by the pandemic and the lessons learned from her multiple birth experiences, ultimately highlighting the power of maternal instinct and the need for supportive care providers. For many years, Evelyn lived in LA and SF, CA as a dancer, actor and on-camera talent, turned media producer. She drastically changed course when she decided to take on the role of a lifetime as a mama and eventually move to the amazing state of Texas with her family. She is a full-time wife and Mom to her three children, ages; 8, 5 and 4. Evelyn proudly boasts the title of "Dance mom" to her first born. She uses any opportunity she can get to educate those around her about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and educated nutritional or environmental choices, despite being an outlier at times in her particular position. She balances her time dabbling in lifelong passions such as dance and writing, while supporting her family in all their many endeavors. She loves a good karaoke or dance party but has far too few of them. You can connect with her on IG at @‌Evievolving where you will mostly find family or dance-mom content and the occasional cooking or nutritional tip mixed in with an unpopular opinion at times. She'd love for you to say hello no matter what!
