In this solo episode of Positive Birth Corner, MaryNissi dives into one of the most powerful tools you can bring into your pregnancy and birth: advocacy.

Advocacy is more than just speaking up, it’s about knowing what you need, understanding your options, and being confident enough to make decisions that align with your values. Using personal stories, practical tools, and real-life examples from her work as a doula and childbirth educator, I break advocacy down into three simple steps you can start using today.

✨ You’ll hear about:

• What advocacy really means (and why it’s as simple as ordering your own meal at a restaurant 🍲)
• Why tuning into your needs is the essential first step toward a positive birth
• The role of childbirth education in preparing you — and your support team — to make informed decisions
• How to speak up, ask the right questions, and pivot when your plan no longer fits your vision
• Real client stories that show how advocacy can transform birth experiences
• Why it’s okay — and often necessary — to switch providers or settings if they don’t align with your needs

This episode is short, practical, and packed with tools to help you prepare for a birth that feels safe, supportive, and fully yours.
