Jackie George is a total badass. She's a wife, mother, fearless surfer, and co-owner of Surf With Amigas—an all-inclusive surf and yoga retreat that brings adventurous women together to support and inspire one another in surfing and in life. Anyone who knows Jackie will tell you she radiates inspiration. She's a wild, adventurous spirit who isn't afraid of hard work, and she knows that the deepest effort often leads to the most epic experiences. Birth has been one of her greatest adventures yet.

In a previous podcast, Jackie shared the story of her first birth with her son, Henry—an experience that unfolded very differently than she had envisioned. When she became pregnant again, Jackie chose to dream it up anew. She planned for a home birth in Costa Rica, where she and her family live and work. So often, a second birth unfolds differently: it tends to be more efficient, deeply healing, and, as I like to call it, a "redemption birth." Jackie's second journey brought her exactly that with the beautiful arrival of her daughter, Frida.
