We are kicking off 2019 with an absolutely beautiful story, woman, and family. If you follow me on instagram you may notice I’m a tiny bit obsessed with Hannah-Grace and her adorable family. So - I’m really excited to bring you this episode, about Hannah-Grace and her deeply spiritual, deeply intentional journey of her pregnancy and birth with her first child, baby Koa. She speaks to how her birth renewed her vows with the universe, and how she said yes to all the work intrinsic to walking this path. She shares how she found fearlessness and painlessness in her meditation practice, and that preparing for her birth felt like preparing for a sacred ceremony.

And stay tuned till the very end because we include a little treat.

Today’s episode is with Andrea, from Go Diaper Free. But this show isn’t about Elimination Communication - it’s about Andrea, and her journey to freebirth. Her first birth was sabotaged by her midwives, sending her into postpartum depression. She then moved to a state where midwifery was illegal, so with her second she began compassing towards doing it at home on her own. Andrea is brutally honest about her own journey of facing her fears and how much work there was to do within herself to finally freebirth her fifth baby in her full power.
