About this episode
I’m thrilled to join Angel on The Birth Rebel Podcast to unpack what it really takes to own your birth journey. We dive deep into:
- Informed Consent & Advocacy: Why understanding your rights and speaking up matters more than ever in today’s hospital environments.
- Personalized Birth Plans: How to craft a plan that reflects your true preferences—and stays flexible when unexpected interventions arise.
- Navigating Interventions: Practical tips for discussing epidurals, inductions, and other common procedures with your care team.
- Real Birth Stories: I share my own highs and lows in childbirth and postpartum care, and offer guidance for preparing emotionally and logistically.
- Empowerment Tools: From clear communication scripts to doula-supported checklists, learn the strategies that help you collaborate with providers and feel confident every step of the way.
Whether you’re a first-time parent or adding to your family, this episode offers the road map and encouragement you need to turn your birth plan into an empowered birth experience.
