In a world with beautiful photos and Instagram posts, social media can often romanticize pregnancy and birth and create high expectations for what your experience will or *should* be like.

And while birth is a beautiful and miraculous thing, it can also be intense, uncertain, and scary - despite even our best efforts to prepare, educate, and advocate.

Whether your birth went exactly as you dreamed it would, or your birth plans were thrown out the window, every birth is a miracle and your birth story holds its own unique beauty.

In this episode, Jordan shares her story of giving birth to her son, Shepherd, and talks about how she navigated a birth experience that didn't align with what she had originally imagined, but ultimately brought her the best blessing.
