Radical as a Mother

My First Birth Story: A Humbling Initiation


Listen Later

Welcome back for episode two of Radical as a Mother. In today's episode, I share the story of my first birth, in 2018, of my daughter. As a labor and delivery nurse, I planned to birth at home with a medical midwife. However, the Universe (and my co-creation) had other plans.

The "failure" of my home birth was my humble initiation into motherhood. It was an experience that brought me to my knees and showed me what was no longer working in my life. My daughter's entrance into the world is much like her presence to this day- disruptive, dramatic and so deeply healing.

Tune in to hear me recount this story now from the radical perspective that: due dates don't matter, birth is merely an expression of our inner experience, and that "births gone wrong" are our greatest teachers and opportunities to reclaim our responsibility and power as mothers.
