Description

In this episode, I speak with Melissa about her thoughtful and emotional journey to motherhood. Melissa shares how she planned her pregnancy while balancing her career, faced a health scare with resilience, and leaned on education and support to prepare for the birth of her son, Jude.

From detailed birth plans to the intensity of labor and the joy of holding her baby for the first time, Melissa reflects on the power of preparation, support, and staying open to the unexpected. Her story is both grounding and inspiring — a beautiful reminder that every birth journey is deeply personal and worth sharing.
