Listen "Episode 2: Surrender & Strength"
Episode Synopsis
I went into my second birth with so much more awareness, more trust in myself—but also (to be real) a deep hope that this time, things would go the way I wanted. I planned for a VBAC. I prepared my body, my mind, everything. But birth had its own plans.
This episode is about what happened when I let go of control—not in defeat, but in strength. When I shifted my focus from “getting the birth I want” to something deeper: health, connection, and pride in myself, no matter how it unfolded. In this episode, I share: ✨ The intense preparation I did for a VBAC—and why I still chose a hospital birth ✨ The moment I realized I was still holding onto old beliefs about “better” births ✨ How my intentions shaped my experience, even when things didn’t go as planned ✨ The surprising peace I found in my second birth—and how it healed my first This birth didn’t follow my plan, but it gave me something I didn’t even know I needed. I hope that my story opens up some new possibilities for you and your own birth.
