After the unplanned, but not traumatic, cesarean birth of her first child, Danielle felt a sense of grief she didn't understand.

Despite having a successful VBAC in the hospital subsequently, that same feeling of grief and failure found her in her postpartum time. She eventually experienced post-partum depression severe enough to need medication.

Something inside her knew there was a better way.

This is part one of Danielle's story. Be sure to tune in next week for part two!

Danielle is also a follower podcaster! You can find her show @birthjourneyspodcast
