## Resource

In this episode, Amy and Bernie welcome Chandler Gilow and Christine Rollings to explore why birth stories are vital—they are identity-shaping, deeply spiritual, and often complex experiences, especially for cross-cultural workers. Today we unpack the difference between telling and processing a birth story, the often-overlooked needs of fathers, and how intentional debriefing can prevent unprocessed grief from becoming another “stone” in the cross-cultural grief tower. ✨ Sign up for the Webinar for Member Care and Birth Story Listening on April 9th ✨ Take the birth stress on the field survey or read about why this survey. —Website for Chandler Gilow: The Global Birth Coach — Connect with Christine Rollings on Instagram —Insiders have access to the Birth Story Processing Packet by Chandler Gilow join Global Trellis Insiders .  —Read Global Trellis articles related to giving birth on the field here .
