Grab a cup of coffee and join me for a wonderful conversation with my guest, Laurel, who shares with us her experience of giving birth to her first baby in the hospital. I do want to give an adequate *Trigger Warning* - Laurel's Story does include obstetric violence and we do talk about that trauma. Laurel graciously shares how her own experience in birth mobilized her to do something with her trauma, and to empower others. Laurel's story is separated into two episodes, so in place of a Transformative Short episode, I hope you'll join us right back here in two weeks for a redemptive and healing part two of Laurel's transformative story.
