Ep 235//A Peaceful Homebirth Starts with Community and the Reminder that Birth is Simple

About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of community support in homebirth and the belief that birth is a simple process.

"Most of the time when left alone, birth works." This is the phrase you'll hear me see almost on every episode. This starts with the belief that "birth is simple." But what happens if pregnancy and birth become complicated? What if difficult things come up? Are you surrounded by people who will help you and support you, or shut you down and silence you? In this episode you'll find helpful reminders on how to build community that actually shows up when you need them to!
