S3E15 Birth Stories with Sara Nolan: Kaitlin’s Third Birth
We continue our Birth Stories series with the birth of Kaitiln’s 3rd child. No, you did not miss an episode! As we have chosen to release these episodes on the birthdays of Kaitlin’s children, we will be sharing Kaitlin’s 2nd Birth Story in February. Today, we skip ahead to the 3rd, to honor the birthday of Kaitlin’s 2nd child, which also happens to fall on Christmas and Hanukkah this year.
Kaitlin continues her storytelling with Sara Nolan, a doula, writer, editor, and founder of Tell Your Birth Story, a business in which Sara helps those who have given birth reflect, re-experience, and re-tell their stories in full, organic detail, after which Sara returns a fully transcribed narrative record.
In Sara’s words: “I believe parents do not have adequate chances to pause, review, and make meaning in and of our lives; to value our own efforts to grow, birth or raise our children. To feel and make room for all the emotions and complexity of being alive, being here, and forming our families. I hope that birth story work & the resulting story will be an initiation, a validation and a revelation. With my support, my clients (re)enter and reflect on life’s unpredictable, incredible experiences- sometimes it’s really messy; it’s always worth it.”
Again, thank you to Kaitlin- and her daughter- for sharing their beautiful story with us.
