In this powerful episode, I’m joined by MatriBirth Mentor Institute student, Darrah, who shares her transformational journey—from working within the medical system as a nurse to reclaiming her autonomy as a freebirthing, wild, and instinct-led mother. After birthing her first two sons in hospitals, Darrah awakened to a deeper truth and radically shifted her path. Her story is one of courage, clarity, and coming home to herself—and it’s sure to inspire birth workers and mothers alike.
