In this week's episode of 'Hear Me Roar,' we're joined by Christina Xenides. Christina shares an in-depth and emotional recount of her journey through four different birth experiences, starting from traditional hospital births to her final empowering free birth.

With powerful anecdotes and insights, this episode highlights the profound differences between medically managed births and more natural, intuitive birthing experiences.
