In this week’s episode, we’re diving into the wild, beautiful, and totally unscripted story of Achint’s birth story.

You’ll hear how the best-laid birth plan met real life… and real life won. From checklists to the unexpected twists that no one could have predicted, this is a story about what happens when a Type A personality has to surrender control in the most intense way possible.

Spoiler: not everything went as planned. The timeline shifted, the interventions changed, and the vibe went from “calm, zen goddess” to “okay, so we’re just doing whatever now.” Somewhere between contractions and conversations with the doctor, there was a moment of letting go, of the plan, the perfectionism, and the idea that you can spreadsheet your way through childbirth.

If you’re a planner, a control enthusiast, or someone who just loves an honest, unfiltered story, this episode is for you.
