My Wild Birth Story: Surrendering to the Unexpected Path That Brought Me to Him

In this heartfelt episode, I share my son Noah's birth story — recorded straight from bed in the early days of his newborn life. What was supposed to be a natural, unmedicated birth turned into a whirlwind series of medical interventions and, ultimately, an emergency procedure that forced me to surrender entirely. I open up about the physical and emotional intensity of the experience, the heartbreak of being separated after birth, and the gratitude that came with finally holding my healthy baby boy. This episode is a reminder that even when things don't go according to plan, beauty, resilience, and healing can still be found in the unexpected.   Resources: • [Free quiz] Which test is ideal for you? → • Join the waitlist for 1:1 functional lab testing → • Follow Tanya on Instagram for more →   In this episode: 01:05 – Recording with baby Noah 02:46 – Newborn life 04:39 – A natural, unmedicated birth (?) 07:50 – How my birth story began 10:36 – Did my water break? 14:16 – Going into labor 18:01 – Things start to take a turn 21:18 – Baby in distress 24:27 – The moment that broke my heart 26:40 – Finding gratitude 28:05 – My recovery so far   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.
