40. Where the heck have we been?!

Is this thing on..?

Well, hello! What we intended to be a short break turned into nearly a year but have no fear- we are back!

Today we’re just chatting about what we’ve been up to in 2021 and our plans for Birth Naturally in 2022! We have really missed hearing your stories and interacting  with our beloved community members so we are so excited to be back full force in the new year!

As we mentioned, we’d love your feedback on a Birth Naturally Patreon community. Our listeners are such a great resource and we think adding this community element would be so helpful to both moms to be and seasoned mamas! Please reach out via email (birthnaturally@gmail.com) or on Instagram and let us know your thoughts!

Until then, wishing you and your family a merry Christmas, happy holidays and we will see you in 2022!

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.
