In this episode of the Holistic Pregnancy Podcast, I unpack a distinction that doesn’t get talked about enough: the difference between wanting a natural birth and being prepared for birth.We talk about how labels and aesthetics don’t actually protect birth—and how true preparedness has far less to do with identity and far more to do with education, decision-making skills, and flexibility.This episode is an invitation to step out of birth labels and into informed readiness.What we cover:Why “natural birth” is an intention—not a strategyHow birth identity can quietly replace real preparationThe risks of outsourcing knowledge to providers, plans, or social mediaWhat informed birth actually requires in real timeWhy education supports adaptability instead of rigidityThe difference between preference-driven birth and skill-based preparednessUnshakeable Birth Course — If you want to learn about your options in pregnancy and birth, understand common interventions, and build real decision-making skills so you’re not relying on labels or luck, you can check out Unshakeable Birth.
