Madison shares how her birth goals changed over time and a red flag that caused her to change service providers. Madison also discusses the moment she found the birth center for her and what led her to that decision. Madison shares the preparation she did regularly for an empowered birth. She shares her spiritual birth story and how she surrendered her body after a long and exhausting labor. Although it wasn't everything she planned, her story is beautiful and inspiring.
