Author: Cait Hayes July 9, 2020 Duration: 57:17

Hi guys!

We are back! Thanks for being patient with us... we lost our grandmother, who we were so fortunate to have such a close relationship with. Our kids were also so lucky to have known her for so long and each had such a special bond with her. It's been a tough couple weeks but we are just trying to take care of ourselves and each other during this really difficult time.

So wow. I am so glad we're coming back with this episode! Michelle from Farm Life Outfitters is just such a kind soul. I (Kali) have been following her journey on Instagram and YouTube for awhile now and she  and her husband just have such a sweet family and a lovely life on their farm in North Carolina. You won't be able to help but smile as you're listening and hear the sounds of the farm in the background! Michelle tells us the story of her fourth baby and first out of hospital birth. No matter what baby this is for you, it's never too late to change gears and create the birth experience YOU want! Michelle is proof of that.

Michelle mentioned Toups + Co Baby Balm - check out their stuff! Natural products and makeup... you won't be disappointed!

Also, please give us some feedback for some ideas we're kicking around. We LOVE being able to share your stories and we hope to be able to continue to do so as regularly as we have been. Here is a link to our Google Form so weigh in! Don't forget, you can always email us - birthnaturallypodcast@gmail.com or get in touch on Instagram.

Until next time,

Kali + Cait

Cait Hayes hosts Birth Naturally, a space dedicated to honest conversations about the entire journey of bringing a child into the world without medical intervention. This podcast moves beyond simple birth stories to explore the physical, emotional, and practical realities of med-free birth and the life that follows. You'll hear from a variety of voices-people who are trying to conceive, those pregnant for the first time, and experienced parents-all sharing their unique perspectives and hard-won wisdom. The aim is to build a supportive community where information is exchanged freely, not to prescribe a single right way, but to illuminate the many paths available. Each episode delves into personal narratives and discussions meant to foster a sense of confidence and self-trust. Tuning in provides a sense of companionship, reminding you that you're not navigating these profound questions and experiences alone. For anyone curious about or committed to a natural birth process, this podcast serves as a valuable resource and a source of genuine empowerment, from pregnancy through the early years of parenting.
