The Wild + Free Birth of Sadie Aurora

This week on Birthing the New, I’m taking you inside the intimate, vulnerable, and deeply empowering story of my daughter Sadie Aurora’s free birth — and the ripple effects her birth has continued to create in my life since her arrival. This episode was originally recorded on my friend Dr. Cindy’s podcast, Rewire For Birth. Dr. Cindy Tahhan, ND is a naturopathic doctor and birth guardian, and there was no better place to share my wild and free birth story. In this episode I share the full arc of my free birth experience, including what shifted from my first birth, what I desired for this one, and the spiritual and emotional preparations that supported me. I always knew that I would share the birth story here as well, and I love that I get to share it in this interview format. The space that Dr. Cindy held for me was so powerful — the opportunity to be witnessed in my story like this was medicine. And now, I get to share it with you.
