Summary
Today we are joined by Pam, who shares the powerful discovery of her own maternal power. After a forced c section because she and her baby were both surely too big, she knew what had happened was wrong and it could never happen again. So then she tried medical midwifery, and shares the complicated terrain of achieving a VBAC at home but still being left knowing she had been sabotaged and pathologized in so many ways.
And then, Pam gets pregnant with her daughter, and she knew she could not afford anything less than total autonomy. Pam tell us how she learned to trust herself, through her wild pregnancy and freebirth, which taught her to go on to advocate for her children for the rest of their lives.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Free Birth Podcast, a supportive space for people who are learning, exploring, and celebrating their autonomous choices in childbirths. |

| 0:48.8 | Hi. Hi, I'm Nancy Lucina, a mother of three, a doula, shamanic facilitator, sound healer, and women's coach. And I'm so excited to announce the launch of my latest course with Free Birth Society, Conscious Conception, |
| 0:56.5 | welcoming your spirit baby home. I created this course because I know that conception is not |
| 1:02.7 | just a physical process, but also a deeply emotional and spiritual one. The children coming to Earth |
| 1:09.6 | now are so wise and they're asking a lot of us as |
| 1:13.0 | their mothers to be, that we really purify our minds, bodies, and souls so that we can hold |
| 1:19.0 | their highest light throughout pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. And this is not an easy process. |
| 1:26.1 | In fact, it's one of the hardest things I've ever done. |
| 1:28.9 | And I'm here to guide you through your own epic journey of welcoming your spirit baby home. |
| 1:34.7 | If you're on the journey of conception and you want to make that journey conscious, connected, and spiritually rich, than this course is for you. |

| 2:27.1 | So then she tried medical midwifery and shares the complicated terrain of achieving a V-back-at-home |
| 2:33.3 | and still being left knowing that she had |
| 2:36.0 | been sabotaged and pathologized in so many ways. And then Pam gets pregnant with her daughter, |
