Why do so many women struggle to trust their bodies, their instincts, and their decisions—especially in birth and motherhood?

In this episode, I sit down with my friend and fellow doula, Veda Weinert, cofounder of Women to Women Informed Health, to talk about how our culture and medical system systematically undermine women's self-trust—from puberty to postpartum—and how we can start reclaiming it.

We share personal stories, real examples from the birth room, and actionable ways to reconnect with your body’s cues. You'll hear:

• How medical providers unintentionally (or intentionally) erode trust
• The impact of early messages around periods, birth control, and hunger cues
• How cycle syncing and natural family planning can build body literacy
• What it actually looks like to trust yourself during birth
• And how to protect your self-trust when you're deep in the system

Whether you're preparing for birth or just starting to reconnect with your body after years of tuning out—this episode is for you.
