Emily is a homebirth mother of three. She chose to birth her third baby outside of the regulated midwifery model when she realized it wasn’t meeting her needs in a COVID landscape. Her pregnancy, birth, NICU experience, and postpartum were deep lessons in intuition and finding her own way through. LINKS & SHOW NOTES Birth […]
A super short and last minute (and last!) podcast from Sedona. I wanted to say my goodbye and express my gratitude to this sacred land, to the mountain that has guided and guarded us. I also wanted to take one last visit to Rumi’s Cave, the special spot where I’d go in my pregnancy with […]
Hello Birth Friends, Margo here! Let’s talk about radical ways of relating to money and economy.
