I feel grateful because I have a lot of love in my life. I found the person I'm sharing my life with. I have a good man.

I am not the first person to give birth naturally. Billions of other women have come before me and have done this - so why can't I do it?

I did kung fu up until two weeks before Benjamin was born, and yoga three days a week. I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals. I was mindful about what I ate, and I gained only 30 pounds.

I'm a woman trying to balance family, work and friends like so many others out there.

I have a lot of fruit trees and my own little vegetable garden and chickens. And every time I eat, I bless my food; I say I'm grateful for for it and let it nourish every part of my body.

Breathing is my best ally. By doing simple breathing exercises, I can quickly come back to center and feel more grounded.

I think it's better when you're natural, when you just do whatever you want, instead of doing classes where I see all these other people holding back because they've been trained with certain skills or techniques. I'm like, whatever.
