birth stories

Birth stories are powerful medicine. In this section, we’ll listen to women share their experiences in their own voices raw, real, and unfiltered. Each story offers a glimpse into the vast landscape of birth: the strength, the surrender, the lessons, and the transformation that unfolds when a woman gives birth in her power.

Through these podcast-style conversations, you’ll hear a variety of journeys! Homebirths, transfers, redemptive second births, moments of deep trust, and times of unexpected change. These stories are not for comparison, but for connection. They remind us that every path is unique, yet all are bound by the same sacred thread of bringing life into the world.

As you listen, reflect on:

• The patterns of emotion and resilience woven through each story.

• How different women describe support, safety, and surrender in their own words.

• The wisdom passed between generations when birth stories are shared openly.

• What these stories awaken within your own understanding of birth and your role as a doula.
