Elizabeth shared a remarkable part of her birth story that involved a prayer flag. At her garden party, friends and family were invited to write their wishes, inspirations, and words of wisdom on colored construction paper, which were then strung together as a flag. This beautiful act of co-creation was a way for her support team to send their intentions and love, knowing they would be present in spirit during the birth. Elizabeth's request for this flag, even during labor, revealed her unwavering commitment to creating a sacred and intentional birthing environment.
