Normalising birth ❤️ 🎥 by authentically.julie
When our children grow up seeing birth as something safe, familiar, and natural it changes everything.
This beautiful reel from authentically.julie shows going full circle… witnessing her own mother’s births, carrying that calm belief into her own pregnancies, and now giving her children that same gift ❤️
Because mindset starts early.
When birth is framed as scary or dangerous, our bodies hold that story.
And just like an athlete wouldn’t train believing they’re destined to fail, we can’t expect ourselves to step into labour confidently if fear is the foundation we were given.
Thank you to this beautiful mum for showing what’s possible… for reminding us what birth can be, and for helping normalise what our bodies are designed to do.

I grew up attending my mom’s homebirths in 1991, 1995, and 2003. Birth was never something to fear, it was just a normal part of life. So when I got pregnant in 2016, I already knew I wanted to have my babies at home too. She normalized birth for me, and now I get to do the same for my children 🥹
