This episode is one of the most intimate and powerful conversations in the Wisdom of the Womb birth story series so far—and it’s truly a must-listen.

I’m joined by one of my closest friends, joining us from Colorado, as she shares her deeply transformative journey into motherhood. From her fast-paced corporate life to becoming a stay-at-home mom, her story is a beautiful unfolding of trust, surrender, and coming home to her body.

We explore the profound power of connecting with your womb, your baby, and your inner knowing—and how that connection can completely transform the birth experience.

If you’ve ever felt fear around birth, her story will speak directly to your heart. She shares how she worried that her body might struggle to give birth during her first pregnancy, only to discover just how natural, instinctive, and empowering it truly was when the moment came.

Her second birth? The freebirth she always knew was possible—and the one she finally claimed.

This episode is a testament to what can unfold when a woman trusts herself, honors her intuition, and allows birth to be what it was always meant to be.

In this third episode of our Home Birth Story Series, we sit down with Camryn—a mama of two, therapist, and Reiki practitioner—as she shares her deeply personal journey through two home births.

Camryn opens up about what initially drew her to home birth, including the powerful influence of witnessing her own mother give birth at home to her younger siblings. That early imprint shaped her understanding of birth as a natural, intuitive, and empowering experience—and ultimately guided her own path into motherhood.

We explore the contrast between her first and second births, including how she processed her initial experience and intentionally prepared for a more aligned and empowered second birth. Her second labor—just 75 minutes long—became a transformative experience rooted in trust, connection, and surrender.

A key part of that transformation came through her decision to take a hypnobirthing course prior to her second birth. She also offers beautiful, practical wisdom for expecting mothers—especially the importance of creating space to go inward before birth.

In the second episode of my Home Birth Series, I sit down with Emily to hear her powerful and inspiring home birth stories.

Emily shares her unexpected solo birth experience, as well as her second, deeply supported water birth, and what each of these experiences taught her about trust, preparation, and surrender.

We also explore her journey toward revillaging—creating a strong, supportive community around motherhood and family life. Emily speaks candidly about what it looks like to step away from doing it all alone and instead lean into connection and support.

She also opens up about her transition from one child to two, including how she intentionally prepared her firstborn to be part of the home birth experience. This conversation is filled with insight, encouragement, and practical inspiration for growing families.

Whether you’re considering home birth, expanding your family, or craving deeper community in motherhood, this episode is for you.
