    Talks With Angella About Birthing Twins During The Pandemic!

    Welcome to episode 33, where I invited Angella on the show to share her pregnancy, twin birth and postpartum journey during the pandemic and lockdowns in November 2020. Angella's story tells of the hardship and reality of what it was like to be pregnant and give birth during the height of the pandemic and how using hypnobirthing helped enormously. I'm sure her story will resonate with so many who experienced a similar situation. We also touch on the Black Lives Matter movement and how she answered a Model Call of mine which also highlights the incredible work that FiveXMore are doing. We discuss what it was like working with me and why she answered my model call. The model call is still open - please see the link below to my blog: Why Representation and Inclusivity Matters.
