In this episode we both share the depth of our fertility + conception journeys but not just the physical side of things. We dive into how these journeys have shaped + changed us and therefore our pregnancies + motherhood.. as we've learned to surrender — not only our own life, but also the life of our children / unborn children — up to the Giver of life. Our God, the God of the universe, is truly the One who ultimately decides when our children will be conceived.

And..

"What if the miscarriage allows someone to notice their control issues + finally learn to fully surrender?"

"What if grief is the miracle that allows someone to live with their heart fully open for the first time?"

"What if 'infertility' is the miracle that brings a woman into deep, loving relationship with her body and soul?"
(Quotes from @trusting_birth)

we pray that our journeys will encourage you, especially if you are in a season of waiting for the gift of a child. 🤍

In this episode we have the chance to chat with Emily Swann who is an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) + now educator for women on the bigger picture of tongue ties, breastfeeding, bodywork for your babies, and so much more.
She shares her birth story with her daughter and how it led her to learn so much of what she's learned + how it led her to creating the course she now has where 500+ women are changing their breastfeeding experiences + their baby's future. She is all about coming back to the original design (just like we are too), and trusting that the body innately knows how to heal!

In today's episode we have the blessing + honour to hear both of Cassidy's birth stories! We get to hear just some of the incredible things she's learned along her journeys through 2 pregnancies + 2 births, both of which were very different from one another.
We aren't inherently a birth podcast here, but pregnancy + birth are big things that connect us as women. And we have experienced the reality that coming back to the original design for both (pregnancy + birth) can be a huge step in our healing journeys as women, and can absolutely change how we then do the rest of our life + motherhood. We also see the value in listening to + sharing these experiences to bring more positivity to the conversation, as well as just light to the fears around birth that grasps so many of us these days.
We pray that these stories would encourage you and give all the glory to the Giver of Life! Can't wait for you to listen in on this longer, but full of rich conversation + stories episode!
