This is the third time having Brandy back on the podcast—just like I promised! Her latest birth story is full of surrender, perseverance, and deep trust. If you go back to episode 44, you’ll hear her earlier journeys: a c-section, a hospital VBAC, an HBAC with midwives, and an unassisted HBAC. Brandy not only carries incredible wisdom from her own births, but she has also supported many women as a birth keeper. You don’t want to miss this episode!
