#143 | Radical Boundaries in Birth with Guest Host Tranquility by Hehe

38 min • 12 januari 2022

In this conversation with HeHe Stewart of Tranquility by Hehe, we dive into hard boundaries versus soft boundaries; how to set them; and why they matter so much in our birth planning as well as our personal relationships throughout pregnancy and postpartum.
