Welcome to today's episode! If you love scrolling through warm, beautiful corners of the internet, chances are you’ve come across Sara’s world—StoneyCreek Flower Farm. It’s one of those peaceful, inspiring spaces that might even have you planning your own trip to a nursery.

But today, we’re stepping beyond the flowers and into an incredible birth story—one that highlights the challenges of giving birth in a rural town where maternity services can be put on bypass at any time. Sara, a mother of two beautiful boys, Archie and Freddie, experienced this firsthand when she went into labor with Freddie, only to find that the local maternity ward wasn’t available.

If you’re a rural woman navigating a similar reality—where services can suddenly be unavailable, and you’re left wondering how to plan for your own birth—this episode is for you. Sara’s story is powerful, eye-opening, and one that every expecting mother in a rural community needs to hear.

A huge thank you to Sara for sharing her story with such raw, beautiful honesty—layered with the practicality and strength we’ve come to know and love from women of the bush. Your openness and courage in telling this story will no doubt resonate with so many, offering both insight and support to those facing similar challenges. We’re so grateful to have had you on to share this journey.
