Deena’s Birth Plan: Birthing Without the Bullsh*t - Autonomy, Advocacy, and Asking for What You Need
If you’ve ever given birth, are about to give birth, or love someone who’s about to, this episode is a MUST. Deena opens up about how she’s preparing for baby #3, and this time? It’s not about a hospital bag or the perfect birth plan. It’s about mental health. Nervous system regulation. Self-advocacy. And building a postpartum setup that actually supports her.
In this raw and radically honest conversation, Kristin and Deena go deep on:
- What Deena learned from two very different birth experiences
- How she’s breaking the fear–tension–pain cycle with science-backed tools
- Why the key to a “good birth” isn’t epidural vs. unmedicated - it’s how you’re treated
- What it looks like to prep your partner and kids to support you after birth
- How to unapologetically ask for what you need - even when it’s uncomfortable
You’ll walk away feeling grounded, empowered, and ready to take up space in your birth and postpartum experience - because you deserve to be held, seen, and supported. This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being powerful.
