Are cesareans always necessary? Or are moms being pushed into surgery without true informed consent?

Too often, hospital policies and defensive medicine dictate birth more than the mother’s individual needs. Many moms don’t fully understand what a cesarean means for their body, recovery, and future births—until it’s already happening.

In this episode, we’re breaking it down:
⚡️ Why cesarean rates are rising—and what that means for moms.
⚡️ How hospital policies shape birth more than medical necessity.
⚡️ The pressure to “just schedule a cesarean” and what moms aren’t being told.
⚡️ What true informed consent should look like (and what to do if you’re not getting it).
⚡️ Steps to take if you feel coerced into an unnecessary cesarean.

Did you truly choose your cesarean? Or did it feel like a decision that was made for you? 🤔

Too many moms don’t fully understand what a cesarean entails until they’re already on the table. Whether it’s an unexpected shift during labor or the subtle pressure to “just schedule it,” the lack of autonomy in birth is a real problem.

In this episode, we’re unpacking:
✅ Why so many moms feel blindsided by their C-section
✅ The pressure to schedule a repeat cesarean without real conversations
✅ How hospital policies control birth more than individual needs

Birth trauma is real, and healing starts with understanding. 💜

Too often, moms are told to just “move on” after a traumatic birth because their baby is healthy. But what about you? Birth trauma isn’t just about what happened—it’s about how it made you feel. If you walked away from birth feeling unheard, dismissed, or broken, this episode is for you.

I’m sitting down with perinatal therapist Leslie Herhold to dive into:

✨ Why birth trauma is so personal—what happened to you matters.

✨ The impact of survival mode on birth experiences.

✨ How grief and gratitude can exist together (and why that’s okay).

✨ Practical steps to start healing after a difficult birth.

💡 “You don’t have to choose between being grateful and grieving. You’re allowed to hold both.” – Leslie Herhold

This is a conversation every mom deserves to hear. You are not alone, and your healing matters.

Doulas aren’t just a trend—we’ve been around for thousands of years, supporting, guiding, and holding space for birthing women. In this episode, we’re diving deep into the history of doulas, how the profession evolved, and why having continuous support during birth can be so powerful—especially for VBAC and CBAC moms. Whether you’re curious about hiring a doula, thinking about becoming one, or just want to understand why this role is so impactful, this episode will open your eyes to the power of birth support.

Because while you don’t need a doula to tap into your inner strength, having one by your side can make all the difference in those uncertain moments. 💛

If you’ve ever walked away from birth feeling like something was missing—like you weren’t fully heard, supported, or in control—this episode is for you.

Doulas are one of the most powerful, research-backed ways to improve birth outcomes, yet so many moms still don’t know exactly what we do, how we fit into the birth space, or why having one could be the best decision you make for your birth.

In this episode, we’re breaking down:

✔️ What doulas actually do (and what we don’t)

✔️ The biggest myths about doulas (and why they’re completely wrong)

✔️ The science behind doula support (including lower C-section rates & shorter labors)

✔️ Why you’ll wish you had a doula if you birth without one

✔️ And how YOU can get the support you deserve

Because birth isn’t just about what happens in the delivery room—it’s about how you feel through it all. And you deserve to feel heard, respected, and supported.

🎉 PLUS! For World Doula Week, I’m offering a special bonus: 

Book a FREE consult with me before March 28th, and you’ll get an extra MONTH of postpartum support—FREE—when you book a doula or virtual coaching package! 🎉

Words matter—especially in birth. The way we talk about VBAC can shape our entire experience, whether we realize it or not. “Trial of labor.” “Failed VBAC.” “Successful birth.” These phrases aren’t just words—they carry weight, plant seeds of doubt, and reinforce the idea that birth is a test to pass or fail.

In this episode, we’re diving into how language impacts our mindset, our confidence, and the way we view our births. It’s time to shift the narrative and reclaim birth on your terms.

Tune in now and let’s rewrite the story together.
