Meet Olivia | Miscarriage, Precipitous labor, and Taking Your Power Back

06/10/20 • 70 min

Most people probably wish for a fast labor. But the experience can hold a different type of trauma than you might imagine.

Join Olivia and I as we discuss her experience with miscarrying her first pregnancy, laboring so fast with her second that she describes it as an out of body experience, and how she went from delegating all decision making, to taking her power back in subsequent deliveries.

Be sure to stick around for the end, when we get into the woo stuff - manifesting a longer labor for her fourth, healing ancestral trauma, and spirit babies!
