"I had an incredibly beautiful hospital birth at 40+5, unmedicated and unassisted for the most part. I used your meditations, breathing technique and oxytocin bubble the whole time, and I did the birth box at around 38/39 weeks. I didn't get pressured at all by any medical staff, they were very supportive and very hands off. I barely saw anyone until transition, where I needed more support and encouragement. I started preparing with your content on Spotify months before. We live in the Netherlands, which has a unique approach to birth because you only see a midwife throughout your pregnancy (if low risk) and never even speak to a gynaecologist, unless there is reason for concern.
You also get support the first week after birth (it's called kraamzorg), where a maternity nurse comes to your house every day to help out and check up on you and baby. In our case, we chose to stay at a birth center which was so fantastic I can't even describe it, we had support 24/7 during five days. We were taken care of and had a beautiful soft landing after the delivery. We went home feeling confident and strong and I took my time to really rest post partum, which I know is something you really encourage. I had such a positive experience and it really helped me to hear about other positive experiences on your podcast, I was so very scared of giving birth before being pregnant. I'd love to tell you all about it on your podcast, I think it would be a great fit. Since having that amazing experience I'm really passionate about pregnancy and birth, women are so amazing. I sincerely want to thank you for the remarkable work that you do, I consider you a friend and very important in my new mommy life. THANK YOU. "

"Motherhood is the true hero's journey—which is to say that it can be as harrowing as it is joyful, and enlightening as it is exhausting. For Jungian psychoanalyst Lisa Marchiano, this journey is not just an adventure of diaper bags and parent-teacher conferences, but one of intense self-discovery."

Carly shares her pregnancy journey: guilt with conceiving after fertility struggles, navigating the maternity system, advocating for herself and a birth that didn't go "as planned" but was still empowering. "I felt exhausted, relieved, ecstatic, in love, so proud, but bitterly disappointed. Do I regret having a birth plan? HELL NO! Do I regret consuming ALL the positive birth stories? Not one bit! Did I feel like a badass having done so much preparation and feeling so ready to navigate a system that I do not believe has my back? Absolutely!"
