Today is part 2 of my dear friend Joy’s birth story episode! In part 1, Joy shared the very real, raw, and vulnerable details of her first 2 births, as well as 2 miscarriages she experienced, and the beautiful way she honored those babies. Make sure to go back and listen to that episode if you haven’t yet, because it is powerful!

Joy Moore is a reluctant, homeschool mom of four earthside little people and four spirit babies. She is the co-founder of Once Again Mom, where mommas are loved, seen, valued, understood, and cherished in all things postpartum. She is passionate about honoring our matrescence (those adolescent mother years and the experience of making a mom).

Joy believes in honoring each of our unique designs, shifting the “should be’s” to “am’s”, and expanding into what it feels like to be ourselves. It’s time to discover the art of experiencing pleasure in everyday moments, and recapture the art of joy.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about Joy’s 3rd and 4th birth stories. She actually had both of these babies at home, but they were very different experiences. Joy also endured 2 more miscarriages between her 3rd and 4th babies. After everything Joy has experienced on her journey to becoming a mother, she has now stepped into the space of helping mothers during the postpartum period. She talks more about the incredible work she is doing to really hold and support mothers during this important time (and oh, how it is needed!)

I absolutely loved getting to listen to and learn from Joy as she shares all of her birth stories, and her evolution as a mother and embodied individual. You can really hear how she moved through the development of trusting her own body, and becoming more connected to her maternal strength and intuition throughout the entire process. I’m excited you are here, because I KNOW you will resonate with and feel empowered after listening to Joy too!
