Better Everyday #115 The Buddha Sat Right Here with Midwife Dena Moes

On this episode we were joined by Dena Moes to talk about her new book which chronicles her family’s trip through India and Nepal called The Buddha Sat Right Here. Dena and her family uprooted their very American life with homework, play practice and soccer games for nine months of adventure in Southeast Asia. Here what she learned about herself and her family as well as her experience of the vivid contrast of self-care, maternal support and womanhood in the East vs. what we know in the West. This show a great conversation and extra special because Dena was Sarah’s midwife for her homebirth with her youngest son Rowan!
