On this episode of Yoga | Birth | Babies I am joined by PYC community member, Rachel Eisman. Rachel is a public sector consultant and new mom of two. When she’s not working, she likes writing and reading.
As we dive into Rachel’s birth story, we also revisit her first birth and explore the differences between the two. Rachel shares what she learned the first time around, and how she intentionally applied those insights to her second experience… which ended up unfolding swiftly! I hope you enjoy this exciting and empowering story.
