We love a great redemption story! Sara went to school with me and we were friends in high school, so it was great to reconnect and learn that we had such similar birth stories! Being young, naive and ill-prepared for birth in the hospital system, what did we take away to then achieve the birth we knew that we deserved as women? You won’t want to miss this episode as we casually discuss what is missing in the birth industry and how we can take control and responsibility to get the birth we’ve always wanted!
