Owning your VBAC journey isn’t just about physical preparation—it’s about healing from the inside out. Trauma, anxiety, and even ADHD can shape how we experience pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, often in ways we don’t even realize. If you’ve ever felt tension in your body, struggled with racing thoughts, or carried shame around your past birth experiences, this episode is for you.I’m joined by Joy Acaso, who breaks down how unresolved trauma manifests physically, why anxiety and ADHD feel louder in pregnancy and postpartum, and—most importantly—what you can do about it.Some highlights from the episode:🔥 How Trauma Lives in the Body – Understanding why emotional pain often shows up as tension, discomfort, or even chronic pain.🔥 Joy shares a simple but powerful practice to start processing and releasing stored trauma.🔥 ADHD, Anxiety, & Motherhood – Why neurodivergent brains struggle more in pregnancy/postpartum and how to work with your brain, not against it.🔥 How hospital systems set us up to feel like we’re failing, and why it’s not your fault!🔥 Actionable steps to shift your mindset, break free from overwhelm, and move forward with confidence on your VBAC journey.You don’t have to carry this weight alone. Tune in to learn how to start healing, feeling more in control, and stepping into your VBAC with clarity and confidence. 💛Connect with Joy ⤵️Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@joyacasoFacebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joy Acaso CoachingWebsite: https://joyacaso.com/Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected] Joy's free resource: The Calm Within: Tools To Help You Regulate Your Emotions In Stressful TimesDownload one of my freebies to get on my email list for tips and special offers!⁠⁠⁠Free step-by-step VBAC success guide⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Free VBAC myths guide, which has 6 debunked myths.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Join The Journey to VBAC Membership⁠⁠VBAC Membership Sneak Peek⁠Connect with me, Petra ⤵️Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@birthing_come_true⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Birthing Come True⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Birthingcometrue.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The International Cesarean Awareness Network:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.ican-online.org/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ----------------------------------------------------       Let's Connect!✨ The Journey to VBAC Website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.birthingcometrue.com/vbacpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ Follow me on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@thejourneytovbac⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Birthing_Come_True⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ I'd so appreciate it if you'd rate and review this show wherever you're listening from.
