Show Notes
On today's show I have the privilege of interviewing Anita, from The Midwitch Podcast and Instagram, about her two empowering births.
Having women around her that only had birth stories filled with trauma and interventions, Anita honed in on her intuition and decided to birth her first child safely at home with the support from a private midwife.
After moving states she quickly realised it was financially not an option to have a homebirth midwife present with her second child and she wasn’t feeling aligned with a birth centre. After a conversation with her doula, she awakened that deep knowing within her that she didn’t actually NEED anyone to birth her child, and so began her journey down the path to freebirth her son at home.
We discuss how she worked through her fears on an energetic level and why she believes intuition is our strongest power as women.
Just a trigger warning for some viewers - we do touch on a loss Anita had between her two births.
