About this listen

This week, Becca and Arielle sit down with Caitlin Gillings, a 34-year-old mom of four whose birth stories span nearly every setting: two hospital vaginal deliveries, a birth center birth, and finally a deeply empowering home birth.

Caitlin opens up about navigating six pregnancies, including two losses between her third and fourth babies, and how each chapter shaped the mother she is today. With children now ages 9, 7, 4, and 18 months, Caitlin reflects on how her confidence, intuition, and perspective evolved across her journeys from her early hospital experiences to finding autonomy and peace in her later births.

As a stay-at-home mom, Caitlin brings a grounded, honest, and relatable voice to this conversation. Her story is a testament to growth, resilience, and the beauty of learning to trust your body over time.
