In this solo episode, I’m diving into the natural rhythms of labor and how we can work with them—not against them. We’ll talk about what the stages of labor really look like, how long they typically last (because every body and every birth is different!), and what can influence how labor unfolds—like baby’s position or certain medical interventions. I’m also sharing tips for staying comfortable at home in early labor, plus some emotional support to help you feel grounded and confident. Whether you're nesting, preparing, or just getting curious, this episode is here to support you every step of the way.
