Today, I read from Angel\u2019s deeply personal Substack article, which explores the emotional and spiritual journey through pregnancy, identity, and the transition into parenthood. This piece offers a raw and honest look at grief, transformation, and the ancestral threads woven into new life. I am very honored they let me share this with you. If you missed last week\u2019s episode, be sure to listen to Angel and Joe\u2019s home birth story for the full context of their journey.
