619 | Lauren - Yoga teacher, intentional conception, positive induction, dream water birth, navigating grief in pregnancy, two births
About this episode
Lauren shares her journey through intentional conception and two positive birth experiences while navigating grief in pregnancy.
Lauren is a yoga teacher, women's circle facilitator and prenatal yoga educator living in Sydney's northwest with her husband James and their two children, Joel, who is nearly four, and Grace, who is just three months old. From the moment she came off the contraceptive pill, Lauren embarked on a deeply intentional journey into her own body, her cycle, and ultimately, her path to motherhood. She shares two profoundly different yet equally positive birth experiences at the same private hospital, and takes us through the grief, the ritual, the surrender, and the extraordinary moments that shaped both. Today's episode is brought to you by Once Upon , the app that makes creating photo books surprisingly easy. You can create beautiful photo books straight from your phone without needing hours of spare time or any design skills. You just choose your photos, arrange them how you like, and Once Upon does the rest. They've also recently added more colours and pattern options for their photo books, so you can personalise them in a way that feels like you and your family. I've been using it to capture our family memories and what I love most is that it doesn't have to be the big milestone…
