Sex, Love & Everything In Between

Welcome to this week’s episode of Sex, Love & Everything In Between! Join Meg and Jacob O’Neill as they share the raw and beautiful story of their unassisted home birth. They take you through every moment, from the gentle flow of early labor to the deep, powerful sounds that welcomed their son, Oisin, into the world.

Meg opens up about how she tapped into the ancient wisdom of her body, fully embracing the intensity of each surge. “Letting the ancient wisdom of my body vocalize through me,” she shares, highlighting the beauty of surrendering to this incredible experience. Jacob reflects on his role as a steady support, creating a safe space for Meg during this transformative journey. Together, they dive into themes of trust, simplicity, and the healing power of being witnessed by another mother.
