In this episode we hear the birth story of Lucy's fourth baby.

In the years leading up to Finn's birth she had gone through massive transformations and initiations in her life. Diving deep into her belief systems, the conditioning and stories she held around birth, womanhood and herself... this all led her to leave a career that she had always believed was her dream.

After walking away from her employment and moving through the grief that midwifery was never going to be what she had hoped, and processing the trauma that she had experienced (and witnessed working as a midwife, she soon came to the conclusion that she no longer wanted to hold a midwifery registration at all and handed in back to AHPRA. It was the first of many, radical actions she made to take ownership over her life and time line.

Finn's pregnancy and birth was the last piece of the puzzle and the embodiment of everything leading up to this point.

Lucy chose not to have a 'care provider' in this pregnancy and birth and instead focused her energy and time on tuning into her own intuition and inner knowing. In this space she was forced to face fears head on and break generational and personal cycles. It was liberating for her to step out of her "midwife" brain and BE the pregnant woman. She faced the rawness that is growing and birthing life and chose to take radical responsibility for her whole experience. This decision led to an extremely healing and ecstatic birth, at home, in water, with only her partner and other children present.

We hope you eniov this episode!
