*DISCLAIMER: Everyone's birth story and experience is different*
Summary: In this episode of The Anastasiya Podcast, I share my full birth story—every intense, beautiful, painful, and unforgettable moment. From naturally inducing labor, to an unexpected prolonged delay in the ER, to finally being admitted, getting an epidural, and welcoming our baby girl into the world (when we thought we were having a boy!)—this is the unfiltered experience of bringing life into the world.
Whats Covered:
– How we naturally kickstarted labor
– Breath work, meditations, and bruising Matt’s wrists
– The kindness of the labor & delivery staff
– The moment we met our daughter (surprise!)
Why It Matters: Because the hardest parts of birth can shape the most magical memories—and remind you that you are powerful, capable, and made for this.
