Episode Synopsis

After doing the deep work to release guilt, betrayal, and self-doubt (Episode 22), Nic didn’t go looking for a “healing birth” to fix everything. She arrived at this third birth as a different woman — more regulated, more resourced, and finally supported by a team who saw her as a person, not a patient.In this second part of Nic’s story, we step into the birth that her healing made possible: a sovereign home birth with George, guided by intuition, nervous system safety, and deep trust.In this episode, Nic shares:• How her healing journey changed the way she approached labour • Choosing a homebirth midwife whose philosophy truly aligned with hers • Letting go of control without abandoning safety • Stop–start labour as wisdom, not failure • What it felt like to breathe her baby out at home • Being the first hands to touch her baby • Why being held, respected, and unhurried changed everything • The difference between chasing a “healing birth” and arriving healedThis episode is not about chasing the perfect experience.It’s about what becomes possible when a woman feels safe in her body, heard in her choices, and supported in her instincts.👉 If you haven’t listened to Episode 22, start there first. This birth story lands most deeply when you know the healing journey that came before it.www.fantasticfuture.com.au
