Your Birth, Your Worth Podcast

Today’s episode is all about Taylor’s birth experiences and what she learned in the process of each of those journeys. After a cesarean and a VBAC, in which she never fully maintained ownership of herself and her experiences, she knew that things would need to be different when she had and third child. She shares about how her first birth affected her feelings of worth and her connection with her baby. She dove into doula work after her 2nd baby was born and some years later, ultimately had an empowered home birth with her 3rd son. Her mission as a doula and VBAC mentor is to help parents prepare for empowered births that leave them feeling respected, supported, and confident. Key Takeaway: Birthing people deserve respect, support, and autonomy. Only each person knows what’s best for them and their family. Birth interventions can be life- saving, but they’re being used way more than they are needed, and often undermine parents’ confidence and self-ownership.
