Sharing Your Birth Story with Your Child, with Anika Rothfuss

During this episode, Anika Rothfuss (aka my daughter) does a podcast takeover to celebrate Birthful’s one hundredth episode and her birthday. During this interview/birth story hybrid, Anika gets to ask questions as I share her birth story. We’ve been sharing her birth story with her every year since she was one. It’s a fabulous and evolving tradition that has showed her how cool birth can be. Check it out!
