We often hear stories about birth being harder than someone expected, but what about when it’s BETTER than what they expected? In this episode, Sally and Melissa interview one of Melissa’s former doula clients, Rachelle Hoehn, about her experience as a first-time mom giving birth.

Rachelle shares how she encountered more positivity from doula support than she expected and the importance of discussing positive stories with others. An avid CrossFitter, she discusses how that translated into her ability to focus through labor.

Tune in for more specific tips that helped her navigate her labor more easily, leading to a medication-free birth.
