In this heartwarming episode, we delve into the life of Sabrina Weber, affectionately known as Sabby. We explore her transformative journey from a work-centric lifestyle in Canada to embracing motherhood and making a bold move to Mexico with her family.

Key Points Discussed:

  • Instant Connection: The host shares an instant connection with Sabby upon meeting at a retreat, highlighting the power of community.
  • Life Path Overview: Sabby discusses how being work-focused shifted dramatically when she started her family later in life. Realizing the difficulty in balancing work and home life led to relocating to Mexico for freedom and opportunities.
  • Massive Decision: The decision-making process behind moving countries without knowing anyone or speaking the language is revealed – showcasing courage and desire for change.
  • Letting Go Materially: Selling everything including their house and possessions was emotionally challenging but also freeing, emphasizing minimalism's role in their new chapter.
  • Catalyst for Change: For Sabby's husband, seasonal depression played a significant role; whereas, for Sabby herself, it was about creating boundaries between work-life balance after becoming a mother.
  • Pregnancy Experience & Immune Disorder Remission: She reflects on having an unexpectedly smooth pregnancy despite concerns regarding her immune disorder which surprisingly went into remission during this time.
  • Preparation & Prenatal Classes: While they attended prenatal classes, both admitted taking them lightly; looking back now wishes there had been more mental preparation alongside physical readiness.
  • How labour can bring up old patterns and emotional wounds (Ex. middle child syndrome, always putting others first) and the importance of being able to cope with unexpected events 


Birth Story:

  • At 42 weeks pregnant on her husband’s birthday plans changed due to low fluid levels leading to induction.
  • Experienced feelings of isolation when unable to contact family members during early labor stages.
  • Stress responses triggered by absence of support system potentially impacting labor progression.


Insights:

Sabrina emphasizes that while she felt physically prepared for childbirth due to an easy pregnancy experience, mentally she wasn't equipped for unexpected emotional challenges faced alone in the delivery room without familiar support systems like her partner or mom present initially. This underscores the importance not only of physical preparation but also psychological resilience when approaching childbirth — something many parents-to-be overlook until confronted firsthand during labor itself.

Stay tuned as we continue unraveling Sabrina's story that resonates with so many others who've found themselves reevaluating priorities upon entering parenthood. Don't miss out on these valuable insights!
