Birth Story Brave: A Guide for Reflecting on Your Childbirth Experience
Birth Story Brave A Guide for Reflecting on Your Childbirth Experience Author:Emily Souder Bringing a child into the world, by any means, is seriously life changing! But we often don't (or can't) stop to reflect on what the experience meant to us and how it impacted us. Recounting the details of the birth to friends and family is only part of that! Birth Story Brave is a space for mamas to reflect safely, without judgment, on the huge... more » transition they experienced using sensitive questions to guide their journaling. I'll walk with you, mamas. Ready to look inside? . . "I only wish that I had this right after I gave birth to my baby! I was desperately looking for a way to help me process the experience, especially because, like for most mamas, it was not what I expected. I ended up writing my thoughts down in a journal months later but it was all free-writing. The prompts that Emily offers in this workbook are helpful as a starting place for the places we might benefit from investigating. Also, what an amazing gift to be able to have this chronicled journey in one place for your child to read one day, perhaps when they are becoming a parent themselves. I bought this for my friend who just gave birth via c-section when she had planned for a natural birth. I am hoping it will help her to express her feelings around this 'expectation violation' and see her birth as perfect and brave. Thank you, Emily for creating such a valuable resource for mothers. What a great gift to be able to give to my expectant friends and family members!" ? Laura C. Cannon, author of The Conscious Entrepreneur« less
