In this conversation i'm speaking to Laura Wighton, a healer, author and mother, all about her experience of conception, pregnancy and freebirthing her baby girl into the world. As she says: "Making your own decisions based on your own innate discernment around how you wish to birth is an act of sovereignty and autonomy that is a fundamental human right. Whether your birth plan is to birth in a hospital or it lies within the more radical spectrum of birth neither are wrong as long as it's your decision. There truly is no greater choice than the choices YOU make, so make them with strength and confidence and out of love not fear." We cover: - Solidifying the birth experience that you actually want - Deep choice and honour of your needs alongside rationality and a lot of research into your options - Holistic self-care in pregnancy/birth - Shedding light on the destructive ways societal programs limit us as women when entering into these initiations - Sharing a new narrative of how mothers can be more self-sufficient, trusting and empowered within their own deep knowing and instincts in the pregnancy and birth experience - Showing mothers the sacred responsibility motherhood is instead of feeling it as a sense of 'giving up' aspects of self or ambitions - How important birthing babies in an empowered natural way is for the evolution of humanity and in honouring the souls that are choosing to come to Earth right now - Her book 'Initiation' - written in the midst of her pregnancy and published as she was early postpartum Connect to her here: https://www.instagram.com/simplylaura_/ Check out/buy 'Initiation' here: https://www.instagram.com/theinitiationbook/ https://www.balboapress.com/en/bookstore/bookdetails/822845-initiation
