What lessons have you learned through your pregnancy, labor and birth? Did you learn to surrender? Did you learn that you’re more powerful than you thought?….. Did you learn that your baby may be born on Valentine’s Day even if you really didn’t want that?
This week we’re speaking with Erin Wilkins, who you may know on Instagram as @essentiallyerin__. Erin has had all of her biological babies at home, jumping on the homebirth train 8 years ago during her first pregnancy… even though she was working as an RN! I know you’re going to love this episode.
I was also blessed to have my best friend and fellow homebirth mama Emily join the conversation, my co-host this show, and it was so fun to get her perspective on a number of questions and topics. She’s growing a beautiful community over at @emily_authentically if you want to follow along
Before we jump in, let’s take a quick moment to think our reviewer of the week, Lexi Fab.
And if you’re gaining value from this show, would you hop over to apple podcasts and leave us a review? They’re basically Christmas presents to me, and they help tremendously with this show’s reach.
What an incredible discussion! As we head into this week’s episode roundup, I want to go over a few points that stuck out.
What a fun conversation that was. Before you hop off, would you take a screenshot or picture of you listening and share it to your stories? Tag @happyhomebirthpodcast, @essentiallyerin__ and @emilyauthentically and let us know your favorite takeway. Okay my friends that’s all I’ve got for you today. I’ll see you back here next week.
