   BirthStory: Megan Shaw - The School of Mom

   Megan Shaw shares her journey into motherhood with her three boys — a path shaped by deep self-discovery, healing, and unexpected turns. She conceived her first baby during a powerful season of inner growth, carrying a clear vision of how early motherhood would unfold. Then COVID changed everything. The postpartum season she had imagined — filled with community, support, and playgroups — looked very different in isolation. Her births took turns she didn't anticipate, asking her to stretch, surrender, and grow in ways she never expected. And yet, she kept going. Megan continued to hold onto her vision of birth and motherhood. With her third baby, she experienced the birth she had long dreamed of — an epic, earth-shaking arrival that reclaimed her power and trust in her body. This is a story of resilience, revisioning, and what it means to move through "The School of Mom" — learning, unlearning, and becoming along the way. Enjoy this powerful conversation about becoming a mother and finding your way home to yourself in the process
