Today's podcast is a beautiful story of love, magic, loss and ecstasy. Lauren Godfrey-Love and Lauren Fitzgerald-Love, both meditation teachers, share the story of their daughter's birth, Goldie and all the moments that led up to her arrival. This is much more than a birth story. We talk about conceiving during COVID across multiple borders with a Goldies' Dad, Lauren G's mum passing away during pregnancy and the inclusion of her spirit at the birth. In this episode we also discuss: * How a partner's fear and distress can arise during birth from their own birthing imprints. * The benefit of working with skilled midwives to help malposition during labour * Getting postpartum support when family and friends are not around * Maori traditions, birth in New Zealand * 'Micro-dosing' online birth education to gently address intense fear of childbirth * The impact a Soul Mama Circle has had in processing the mind body and soul shifts as Lauren journeys into matrescence I hope you enjoy this story as much as I did. I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate motherhood this Mother's Day than with a double mumma family. Thank you for sharing your love and family so beautifully with us Lauren G and Lauren F.
