In this week's episode, we talk with Renae Golden, a mother of two, about her transformative birth experiences. Renae opens up about her first pregnancy that started as a planned birth center birth but ended in a hospital transfer, filled with frustrations. She contrasts this with her second birth—an empowering and peaceful sovereign birth.

Renae shares her evolutionary journey, the importance of trusting oneself, and her newfound passion for birth work, helping other women navigate their own paths to motherhood. The episode dives deep into the emotional highs and lows, from coping with unnecessary interventions to reclaiming one's power in the birthing process. Join us for this raw and inspiring conversation.
