The VBAC Homebirth Stories Podcast

EP158 | Beware of the Medical Cartel with Billie Harrigan


Listen Later

In this deeply thought-provoking episode, I sit down with the incredible Billie Harrigan—birth worker, educator, and fierce advocate for women’s autonomy in childbirth.

With over 40 years of experience supporting birthing families, Billie has seen firsthand how the medical cartel has reshaped birth, often prioritising control over care.

We dive into the history of birth, the technocratic model, and the ripple effects of medicalised maternity care.

Billie shares her powerful insights into what women need to know to reclaim their birthing power, especially those planning a VBAC homebirth.

This conversation will challenge the status quo, ignite your inner fire, and give you the confidence to take charge of your birth experience.

Enjoy this episode!
