Made For Birth; The VBAC Podcast For Birth After Cesarean

63- From Fear to Fierce—Reframing Labor Anxiety into Confidence


Listen Later

Let’s be real—fear is one of the biggest blocks to a powerful, satisfying birth. It creeps in through horror stories, past trauma, unknowns, and pressure to “get it right.” But what if you didn’t have to carry that fear into labor? What if you could walk in with grounded confidence and a belief in your body’s wisdom?


In this episode, we’re breaking down the fear-mindset connection and showing you how to flip the script. Because yes, fear is normal—but it doesn’t have to lead the way.


You’ll learn:

🔹 The most common fears about labor—and how to reframe them into clarity and courage

🔹 The science behind fear, tension, and pain (and how to break that vicious cycle)

🔹 Real stories from moms who faced their fears and went on to have deeply empowering births

🔹 The crucial role of your support team—and how the right people can either calm your fears or fuel them

🔹 Tangible mindset tools and affirmations you can start using today


Whether you’re just starting to think about birth or you’re weeks away from labor, this episode is your reminder:

You are not broken.

You are not weak.

And your fear doesn’t get the final say.


Let’s replace panic with preparation—and turn fear into fuel. 🔥

You’ve got this. And I’ve got your back.
