| 0:03.0 | Oh Emily Stanwick began her work in the birth world as a prenatal and postpartum personal and group |
| 0:35.0 | trainer with birth fit in 2014. She fell in love with all |
| 0:39.0 | things newborn in birth education and decided to jump headfirst into becoming a birth dula that |
| 0:44.4 | same year. In Los Angeles, she only attended hospital birth, not by choice. I couldn't imagine why |
| 0:51.0 | until becoming pregnant with her first child in 2018. |
| 0:55.0 | Since becoming a doula, she knew that home birth was the route for her and lived and breathed trust, |

| 1:57.5 | It was such a gift. When she and her husband could no longer stand living in L. LA, they packed up and headed to Texas and are living in their best lives, raising babies, |
| 2:04.7 | raising chickens, and advocating for freedom, health, and of course, natural birth. Wow, |
| 2:10.5 | quite the journey. It was. You lied. You said you had two kids. It sounds like you have, |
| 2:15.0 | how many chickens do you have? We have 14 chickens. |
