218. pregnancy & birth: the great unlearning // former NICU nurse chooses hands-off homebirth outside the system with Kaitlyn Foster OLIVIA SELINE: The Podcast

Today's conversation is with my beautiful friend Kaitlyn Foster of @wildmotherpath. Kaitlyn shares with us her journey of working as a NICU nurse very much IN the system, turned Radical Birth Keeper now fully serving women OUTside of the system -- and her powerful hands-off homebirth story with her son Luca.

We also unpack the spiritual/energetic layers of pregnancy & birth, why birth MATTERS, what it means to trust your body & her inherent process, being empowered in your choices throughout YOUR pregnancy & birth, why having "evidence-based research" doesn't really mean much when it comes to backing your choices, being afraid & untangling your former identity, the death of the maiden and the emergence of the mother that this journey WILL initiate you into, and sooo much more.

For further support on this topic and beyond, you can reach out to Kaitlyn via her Instagram @wildmotherpath // or learn more on her website to discuss her virtual pregnancy & birth prep support AND her in-person birth work [in the  Charlotte, North Carolina area].

AND of course - you can visit my website to explore & enroll in my private mentorship 🐍 OR you can reach out to me on Instagram @oliviaseline_ to explore other private offerings I have available for virtual support through conception, pregnancy, postpartum, & early mothering.
