Summary
We get into the nitty gritty of unmedicated vaginal birth & what it looks like to feel safe in our bodies! We dive deep into feeling empowered during your pregnancy and some of the benefits of having a water birth.
Nicole articulates what giving birth to her daughter actually felt like, and explains how she rewrote the screaming-crying-tearing narrative that’s so often portrayed in media. Plus, she shares her tips for how to get into the right headspace and organically prepare your body for childbirth.
WE TALK ABOUT:

It's definitely the ultimate surrender to the feminine for us as women. - Nicole
I think the number one thing for us to do as women if we're feeling this and we know we want to go more towards the natural way and we know maybe the type of birth we want is shifting the environment that we're around, and what we're listening to. - Nicole
Women aren't getting to experience the full power of who they are 100%. It's the most powerful, empowering feeling ever. It's the highest thing that we can do as women. We're the portal. - Nicole
We can shift from pain to intense, and then I think we can shift from intense to uncomfortable. - Nicole
I am actually more scared of surgery and doctors, so I think that's also an aspect of why I investigated so much to learn my body and learn my power. - Nicole
