Maiden to Mother

In this space, we connect with women and professionals to hear about their personal and witnessed experiences of the sacred journey women make from Maiden to Mother.

“A trauma free, transcendent birth experience.” I mean, who wouldn’t want to hear about something described like that? I was gifted the delightful opportunity to sit with Cheri Dostal Ryba once again to hear about the birth and delivery of her second daughter, Magnolia. From popsicle feedings from her toddler to visions of Magnolias, from deep downloads on maturity to the obstacles of partner involvement in home water births, there is so much to glean from her shared journey across the threshold of motherhood.

Cheri’s story provides us with a positive, empowering birth depiction of what birth can really be and look like when “stalked like prey” with fierceness and desire. Not only did Cheri get the VBAC she so vividly envisioned, she cultivated an experience for her entire family that will forever bond them together. And I even made an “appearance” in her story from afar – a prediction of birth that was already in progress! Enjoy this episode focused on maturity and Cheri’s personal revelation on “ripening” the quality of her life once again!
