EP87 | Creating a safe circle of support for your VBAC Homebirth


Listen Later

In this episode, I talk about creating a safe circle of support for your VBAC Homebirth. 

I start this episode by sharing my experience with creating friendships and some of the challenges that I've had over the years making friends. 

I share some tips for finding friendships with the people who light you up and make you want to be a better version of yourself. 

Sometimes we stay stuck in old friendships that no longer serve us, and just leave a cloud of negative or old energy.  

When we grow as people we need to find those who are right for us now.   Many people can struggle to find those friendships. 

I want you to understand where you are now with your circle of support and how you can cultivate & grow new circles of support. 

And as always I share with you my own experiences and stories. 

3 Ways to create your circle of support

1. First you have to believe you are worthy of having the support you crave.  Of being around people that treat you the way that you feel you deserve to be treated

2. Put yourself out there to connect with people.  You have to go out in public to mingle and meet people, or if you meet people online you need to take the next step to go out in person.  

So many people myself included feel anxious about going out and meeting people in person - but I believe deep and real connections need to have a physical presence - even just to feel that person's energy and hug them.  Or look into their eyes.

3. Be generous and vulnerable

I notice that people get super busy in life, especially mothers.  And everyone is different.  Some people are anxious, some people are introverted so they may not like to talk or get out as much as your average extrovert.
