76. Birth Story: The Medicine of Birth & Finding Yourself

My guest for this episode, Courtney, had two very different out-of-hospital births to share and each one brings so many lessons. 

Courtney's first birth is a beautiful story, that also taught her a lot about who she was, who she wanted to become, and what she needed to do to become that woman for herself, for her family, her new little daughter, and for her next birth when that time came. 

And between her first and second birth, she did the work and exploration and growth she needed to transform into that version of herself she knew she was, but hadn't embodied fully prior. She learned what it meant to trust her intuition to advocate for the care she needed, to find a birth team that would respect and support her just as she was. 

 If you want to connect with Courtney, you can find her on Instagram @southwestbirthworker and on her own podcast The Intuitive Mothering podcast.
