Welcome back to Chatty Doulas! In this episode, we sit down with Liz Foster of Love in Motion—a Denver-based doula, placenta encapsulator, and childbirth educator.

Liz opens up about her journey from a traumatic emergency C-section under general anesthesia to a triumphant, unmedicated VBAC. Now, she uses her experience to help other families debunk fears, navigate the medical system, and claim their own redemptive birth stories.

Debunking the VBAC Myth: Looking at the actual data behind uterine rupture (less than 1%) and why "once a C-section, always a C-section" is outdated.

Friendly vs. Tolerant Providers: How to spot the red flags in a provider's policy and why you have the absolute right to switch care teams at any point.

Redefining a "Good" Birth: Why even a repeat C-section can feel redemptive if it's a calm, respected choice with time to process, rather than a rushed emergency.
