Brittney interviews Alexandria about her journey through multiple VBAC homebirths and navigating motherhood with a child with complex medical needs.

In this deeply moving episode, Brittney sits down with Alexandria — wife, mother of four, former software engineer, and holistic mama — to talk about her journey through birth, motherhood, and resilience. Alexandria shares how a traumatic first birth led her to pursue three empowering VBAC homebirths, including a peaceful and fast birth with her fourth baby. She also opens up about navigating motherhood as a medical mom, caring for her daughter with complex medical needs, embracing holistic healing, and finding purpose through faith, family, and advocacy. This episode is a powerful conversation about surrender, strength, healing, and what Black homebirth truly means: freedom.
