Summary
I’m joined today by Sarah, calling in from her yurt on Maui, Hawaii. On the same day she decided to leave her partner, Sarah, at 22 years of age, was shocked to discover she was unexpectedly pregnant. This episode is a poetic tale of a young woman turning towards trust, surrendering to the great mystery, and learning to choose herself, fully. Sarah shares about her wild pregnancy, and of the lessons she was sent during her psychedelic outdoor birth. She also tells us of her blissful first year of motherhood, and of the tearful sweetness of her father coming to take care of her postpartum.
