Hello! I would love to hear what your fave part of the ep was. Send me a msg by clicking here :)
Episode 38 is a first time mum freebirth story from Bronnie in Melbourne. Bronnie shares how she grew up petrified to be pregnant but after a lot of self discovery and unlearning, she set her intention to freebirth her first baby. In this episode we talk about the mental and emotional work that goes into planning a freebirth, healing, media shaming of social media freebirth communities, and then her quick, intense birth with baby Abi, and how birth has changed her . I’m also excited to say that Bonnie also shares her placenta smoothie recipe!
