This episode was inspired by a conversation I had with an expecting momma and I really felt called to share with you what my thoughts are on the topic of coping in labor. From my experience we have a distorted view of what coping in labor looks and sounds like and it can in turn effect the way you believe your birth went and if you "did a good job" or not. My hope with this conversation is that it opens your awareness to what your unique coping style is and allows you to be flexible and CURIOUS ...

Lets talk about those pesky people that love to share how terrifying birth is. First thing, if you have people like this in your life please know that although they mean well it is not your job to carry their trauma. This is not their story, it is yours.

What I got instead of support was a lecture on how irresponsible I was for choosing...
