This Canadian based podcast is designed to open up the conversation from pregnancy to childbirth through mothers sharing their birth stories.  Birth can be intimidating, especially for new moms; with all of the advice from well meaning loved ones everything can be quite overwhelming. My hope is this podcast will help all listeners feel empowered by hearing different experiences and ways of birthing.
