In this episode, Yanill returns to share the story of her second birth—a deeply intentional and empowering home birth after navigating a more medicalized first experience. She reflects on how she carefully chose her midwives, asked hard questions, and committed to caring for her body through nutrition, movement, and mindful preparation.

When labor began gently at home, Yanni trusted her instincts, breathing through contractions and allowing her body to lead. Within just a few hours, surrounded by her midwives and husband, she welcomed her baby boy in the birth pool—a peaceful, instinctive experience she describes as “supernatural.”

Yanni also speaks about the importance of planning for postpartum—from freezing meals and arranging family help to finding community and support as a mother. Her story is a reminder that intention, preparation, and trust can transform not only birth but recovery and motherhood itself.
