Read the full transcript here.
In this episode, we join expectant father Marcus and his mother-in-law as they prepare the home for his partner Kayla’s birthing experience. In this home, we are privy to a birth that is supportive and calm, full of intention and choice, and supported by Kayla and Marcus ’s entire community. How far off from such possibilities are we today, and what could it look like for our communities to support new life and new parents in these ways? Tune in and find out!
