In this weeks episode, we're joined by special guest Danielle Taylor, a mother of nine who shares her remarkable journey through diverse birth experiences. Danielle discusses her transition from a system-controlled birthing approach to empowering free births, her challenges with a cesarean, and healing natural births, culminating in a peaceful water birth at age 44. 

Emphasizing the importance of intuitive connection, emotional support, and health, Danielle advocates for trusting Gods design and embracing a sacred birthing space. Her vast experiences also underline the dynamic interplay between divine guidance and natural processes in fostering a trauma-free, empowering birthing journey.
