Birthright is a collection of real stories from women who experienced the power, unpredictability, strength, and beauty of physiological birth. Each episode shares a mother’s unique journey through pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. These are the stories of women trusting their bodies, following their instincts, navigating challenges, and discovering just how powerful birth can be. Birthright gives women the opportunity to listen, learn, and understand the many possibilities of their own birth journey. These stories are not meant to tell you how your birth should happen. They are here to help you hear what birth can look like, to learn from other women’s experiences, feel less alone in the unknown, and enter your own birth with a deeper understanding of the beautiful, powerful, and unpredictable ways birth can unfold.

    53hr labor in Finland to my first born son! Receiving prenatal care in 2 different countries

    Before I became a mother, I had no idea how much birth would change me—or how much this first experience would shape the way I would eventually see birth. In this episode, I take you back to who I was before motherhood and then into the story of my first birth: 53 hours of labor in Finland. Living abroad meant navigating pregnancy and birth in a culture that was not my own. Sharing my experience on what it was like to receive maternity care in two very different countries. From receiving care in Turkey, and what it felt like. To giving birth in a Finnish hospital where communication was sometimes difficult because the staff did not speak much English. This was my first birth, my first experience navigating the hospital system, and the beginning of a much bigger journey with birth. Come hear the story of how it all began.

    Laying the Foundation

    Before we begin sharing the stories of physiological birth, I wanted to lay the foundation for Birthright,where this podcast came from, what I believe about birth, and why I felt called to this work. In this first episode, I share how my faith led me toward birthwork and the deeper meaning I’ve found in supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and motherhood. We talk about what it truly means to have a village, why community and support matter so much, and what I mean when I use the term physiological birth. I also share the story behind the name Birthright and why I believe every woman deserves the opportunity to approach birth feeling informed, supported, respected, and connected to her own experience. This episode is the beginning of our foundation. Before we hear the stories of other women, I want you to understand the heart behind this podcast and why these stories deserve to be heard.
