We're helping you navigate your birth support options. In system, out of system, obstetrician, birth keeper, doula, midwife -- what do all these titles mean? What sort of birth are you inviting when you bring one or more of these people to your birth?

Carissa and I break it down for you in this episode.

Meg’s story is one of mad love changing you and calling in motherhood. From a lineage of midwifery to losing her mom, to becoming a mother herself and reconnecting with her moms spirit in birth. 

At the end of this episode Meg shares about her birth story offering which I’m guessing is on hold right now as she will soon welcome her next baby. We recorded this episode back in the fall before she knew she was pregnant. So as this story is shared with you all, Meg is entering the birth portal once again to fetch the soul of her next child. The cycle continues. Magic abounds.
