Kristina Colangelo visualized a flowing birth, but the reality caught her by surprise.

She tells Adriana Lozada how her team made meeting her baby the most interconnected experience.

Listen through to the end for Adriana’s “Two Things to Do: One for You, One for the Rest of Us.” Every week, she selects actions, books, and other resources to further inform your intuition and support others on their birth journeys.
