In this episode, I am joined by my incredibly smart and poetic friend Carly as she shares her journey from experiencing a medically-controlled first birth to reclaiming her power in a transformative free birth with her second. Carly discusses how learning to track her cycle after years of birth control taught her how powerful women are and how she came to love her blood. We also delve into the generational healing of women’s rites of passage, like birth, and how worthy we are as women of these experiences being pleasurable. This episode is rich in Carly’s sweet wisdom-filled stories and offers a heartfelt perspective on the beauty (and mystery) of womanhood and birth.
