Ep 35: My Birth Warrior Journey

Ep 35: My Birth Warrior Journey

Author: Natalee Facey December 15, 2021 Duration: 54:44
I've shared in previous episodes that my experience with my angel baby, Mateo, was so massively impactful that I could never capture our story in one single episode. Well, this one got pretty close! And I think that happened because I was being interviewed by someone else.   

In this episode, I share:

- My first pregnancy loss journey

- My second pregnancy and being with my son in the NICU

- Mateo's transition—including both the pain and the beauty that it brought

- What it means to be a Birth Warrior

- And ways in which I support other Birth Warriors on their healing or pregnancy journey




If you're ready to step into your healing, here are ways in which I can support you:

 


1. Get on the Birth Warrior Mailing List to receive inspiration and resources for your emotional healing. You'll also be the first to learn about upcoming workshops and Healing Circles. AND you get two bonus gifts lovingly created by me when you sign up!  https://www.subscribepage.com/k8l9d0


2. Work 1:1 with me for your emotional healing or to gently guide you through a conception to childbirth plan for your next pregnancy.

Navigating the path toward another pregnancy after a loss or trauma is a deeply personal and often isolating experience. Preparing For Pregnancy After Loss offers a compassionate space for this unique journey, hosted by Natalee Facey. As a mother to two angel babies herself, as well as a Resilience Coach and Birth Doula, Natalee brings both professional insight and profound personal understanding to each conversation. This podcast gently addresses the complex layers-emotional, physical, and mental-that accompany family planning after experiences like infertility, traumatic birth, or infant loss. Episodes weave together practical guidance on health and fitness with essential discussions on inner healing and emotional resilience. You’ll hear honest dialogues, strategies for rebuilding hope, and reflections on transforming grief into a source of strength. It’s more than just an educational resource; it’s about finding a supportive voice that acknowledges the fear and courage that coexist when considering pregnancy again. Through this podcast, Natalee aims to foster a sense of community and grounded preparation, helping you reconnect with your own body and spirit on your own terms.
