I am so excited about this week's guest, Corrine Brown, a former Naturopathic Doctor, creator of the Love Your Labour program, author of “The Badass Birth Goddess”, and mom of 3.

This is the perfect episode to pause with before I go into labour myself in a few weeks with TUBtwo. Corrine was pivotal in helping me have my natural home birth with Sarelle and you'll find out why in this episode.

Everything we talk about in this episode will help to empower you mentally and physically to have a natural birth (if that is your goal). No matter what point you are at in your pregnancy or even if you are in the planning phase this conversation will motivate and inspire you to love your labour. You will get tools, resources, and other helpful information to help you on your labour journey. Enjoy this juicy conversation with Corrine.
