In this episode, Ash shares her inspiring journey through three drastically different births, transitioning from a conventional hospital delivery with a midwife to experiencing wild pregnancies and free births at home. She discusses her evolution from a rule-following engineer to embracing a holistic, self-directed approach to motherhood. Ash also highlights the significant role of her family's support, her realization of the power and fulfillment of natural birthing, and the importance of creating an empowered birth experience. Her story is a testament to the profound personal and spiritual transformations that can occur through informed and intentional birthing choices. 00:00 Welcome to HEARMEROAR. 00:30 Ash's Introduction and Birth Background 02:33 First Birth Experience: Hospital with Midwife 07:13 Challenges and Reflections Post-First Birth 12:01 Transition to Holistic Motherhood 21:08 Planning for a Different Birth Experience 30:31 Second Pregnancy Journey 37:40 Preparing for a Home Birth 48:48 The Door Incident 50:40 Labor Begins 52:27 The Birth of My Son 01:01:59 Postpartum Reflections 01:07:08 Pregnancy and Birth of Third Child 01:13:06 Unexpected Early Labor 01:29:18 Birth Work and Coaching 01:31:03 Final Thoughts and GratitudeEPISODE LINKS ASH.
