Our Empowering Homebirth Story
from Eros & Earth with Megan Lambert · host Megan D Lambert
In this episode, my husband James and I share our intimate, powerful home birth story of our second baby, Latham. It was such a wild and empowering journey! Here I weave the tale of each step of the journey, plus what we did to prepare for the birth. I am so passionate about rewriting the narrative around birth. I believe birth can be the portal to a woman's deepest feminine power, a blueprint that lasts her whole life (and the baby's!).
