In this episode, I’m sharing the real, raw, and surprisingly beautiful story of how I became a mom. From the final stretch of pregnancy to meeting my son for the first time, I walk you through what it was like becoming a first-time mom at 35.

I talk about everything from IVF, being labeled "geriatric," and that lovely thing called Group B Strep, to what it actually feels like when your water breaks, the induction process, and how a doula helped me stay grounded through it all.

This is the kind of birth story I wish I’d heard before giving birth—honest but encouraging. Because birth doesn’t have to be terrifying. You're doing amazing, and you deserve to hear stories that remind you of that.
