Andrea sits with Megan who shares her extraordinary story of going 43 weeks pregnant, laboring for 6 days, and birthing her baby with only her husband present. Together they open an honest conversation about the cascade of medical interventions in hospitals, the power of birth houses, and the freedom that comes when women reclaim their right to choose.

This dialogue touches on the transition from maiden to mother, moving through fear, and the spiritual practices that shape birth as a sacred passage. It’s an invitation for women to remember their sovereignty, share their stories, and make informed, empowered decisions for their bodies, their babies, and their journeys into motherhood.
