You planned for an unmedicated birth… and it didn’t happen.

Now you’re wondering how to set yourself up for a different outcome next time. In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly what to do, starting before you’re even pregnant again, to heal, prepare, and build your confidence for your next birth.

In this episode, I’m joined by the one and only Loudmouth Lisa... and trust me, you’re going to love her. Lisa Villani is a birthy business powerhouse with a bold story and even bolder mission. She shares how she went from the typical hospital experience (aka not it) to the unmedicated birth she craved so badly. A birth that cracked her wide open and changed everything.

We talk about what it really means to be empowered, in birth and business. Lisa drops some serious truth bombs about sales, helping doulas grow without burnout, and being loud (on purpose) in a system that wants women to stay quiet.

If you’re into birth, business, or both, you don’t want to miss this one.

☀️ Summer Series: PART 4 ☀️

Empowered moms know they are the boss

Not only do empowered moms know their rights, they do not allow anyone to take their power away. Being a powerful woman outside of the birth space is different than being the boss inside the birth space, as evidenced by the celebrity examples in the episode. The first step to being the boss is knowing your birth rights, and then step two, speaking up for them.

Why Physiology is QUEEN 👑

There are TWO things you need to learn:
1️⃣ HOW PHYSIOLOGIC BIRTH WORKS
2️⃣ AND How the hospital does birth.

Unfortunately they are not the same. And this was true 10 years ago when I had my first baby, it was true 5 years before that when the business of being born came out, and IT'S TRUE TODAY. And unfortunately we are getting further and further from how birth is meant to be. Empowered moms know this and know how to support the birth they want.

Here is your permission to NOT HAVE TO ASK FOR PERMISSION.

Empowered moms know the routine prenatal care, ask for their legally protected options and alternatives, and they are MORE in control of their birth because they started taking ownership during their prenatal care.

Taking control of your nutrition and knowing what holistic approaches exists for staying low risk is a really impactful way to take control of your birth because the more low risk you are- the more untouchable your birth is.

Empowered Moms take control of their birth by nourishing their bodies in pregnancy.

What do you do before choosing someone to reno your kitchen? Or cut your hair? You look at the results they have gotten for other clients! We should not be putting more research into our hair than our births. Hair grows back, you are only giving birth a handful of times.

Empowered Moms interview their provider to find one that is in line with their values and wants for birth.
