Birth Cultivated
Welcome to the Birth Cultivated Podcast! We will gather like sisters, share tea, and chat all things birth. This isn’t the place for statistics or studies—if that’s what you’re after, I encourage you to seek them out elsewhere! Here, we focus on observing and honoring the natural unfolding of normal patterns in birth and we strive to honor the unique journeys along the sovereign birthing continuum
