b'In this episode of the podcast, being brought to you by Ellement prenatal supplements, we have Tarynn sharing her birth story. Tarynn is actually one of the members of The Birth Preparation Course. Things didn\\u2019t go exactly as planned with her birth, in fact they went exactly the opposite. Now it would be easy for me to only share birth stories from course students where everything went great but that would be dishonest of me. The reality is that sometimes things don\\u2019t go as you\\u2019d like, despite having done great childbirth education. Birth is an unpredictable process that can\\u2019t be controlled. But that doesn\\u2019t mean childbirth education isn\\u2019t important. Tarynn was thankful for the podcast and Birth Preparation Course as they helped her adjust on the fly and do what was necessary to get her baby home safe.

Baby Eleanor and Tarynn are doing well now but it took some time to get there. In sharing her story Tarynn hopes she can help others learn the value in being adaptable and shine a light on what she calls that \\u201cmama strength we all have inside of us\\u201d.
