In Epsiode 4, Sally shares her journey of free birthing her surprise twin sons, Dusty and Melvin, and the heartbreaking reality of losing them to TTS. She speaks on the raw grief of navigating their loss, the unexpected and brutal media storm that followed, and the road to reclaiming her truth and birth.
Together, we explore the sacredness of birth and death, the power of storytelling in healing, and the strength it takes to stand in your truth when the world tries to take your voice away. Sally reflects on her evolving connection to her sons in spirit, the wisdom they’ve gifted her, and the ways she now holds space for other mothers walking a similar path.
A conversation on loss, resilience, and the quiet yet powerful reclamation of self after everything has been stripped away. Emphasizing the need for compassion, understanding, and connection among mothers facing similar experiences. As well as the need for a balanced approach to healthcare that respects women's autonomy.
