    Birth At 45, Facing Fear & Showing Up In Partnership With Angi And Arlynd Fletcher

    Angi and Arlynd Fletcher grace us with their incredibly aspirational existence this week! We talk all about their four births, from their C-section experience, to having a Vbac and then their dreamy recent home birth at Angi’s “geriatric” age of 45 (listen up docs- this shit is outdated/ridiculous/insulting!!) we also unpack fear during childbirth and Arlynd breaks down his unique perspective of allowing the process to unfold without the need to control or fix it as a partner. We also chat their companies Hrd to kill and Mamoosh (seriously what cant they do!?) discuss cold plunging, triathlons, falling in love and hitting rock bottom, all in one hour of jam packed pearls of wisdom. Thanks Fletchers, see you at the Texas birthing ranch!
