  • I think most of us think that if we plan for a homebirth we are free from experiencing coercion, free from feeling unheard, free from experiencing medical rape...

    It can absolutely be without all of these happening BUT making sure that you have hard conversations with your birth team and your partner about how exactly you want to be supported, what everyone's role is, and what is and isn't acceptable throughout your labor, birth, and postpartum experience can literally change the outcome of your birth experience.

    We also chatted about how childhood traumas can affect our pregnancy and birth choices. Maria also shares her top tips for planning a homebirth after cesarean (HBAC) and what she's doing differently for her next HBAC.

  • I think most of us waltz into postpartum without planning how we'll manage our emotions, how we'll stay connected to our partner, or building any type of consistent village to help us.

    I get it, it's hard to ask for help and also you're so busy planning for your birth experience but dare I say it's more important to plan for your postpartum season even more so than the birth...

    Have you thought about how you'll prepare your partner or anyone else who'll be helping you on what signs to look for when it comes to recognizing postpartum rage or depression?

    In this episode, I chatted with Dr. Toya who is a seasoned OBGYN and mother of two who did not expect her postpartum to unfold the way that it did, how she remedied it, and how she helps moms like you prepare for their postpartum journey.

  • Placenta Previa is a subject that is close to my heart because I had it with my second pregnancy.

  • Depending on your life experiences, perception of birth, or family history you might have had this decided before you ever got pregnant.

    This is such a deeply personal choice and there is no right or wrong answer. Wherever you feel comfortable is key. 🔑

    In this episode, I weigh the pros and cons of a homebirth, birth center birth, and hospital birth. This is by no means an exhaustive list but just a jumpstart for you on your journey to deciding where to give birth.

  • This episode was truly special, I had been admiring all the amazing work Kaitlin has been doing from afar and hesitated to reach out to her (hello imposter syndrome) because she was "too big" and wouldn't want to be on my podcast... Well, she actually reached out to me and boy am I glad she did!!

    🔥 We chatted about her very less-than-ideal first birth where the hospital staff during her labor treated her as if she were a nuisance and you'll find out why her cesarean was actually a welcome option for her.

    🔥 We also talked about her transformative VBAC journey where she felt like she already achieved what she set out to do before she even birthed her baby!

    🔥 You'll also get to learn all about BeHerVillage and how it can help you get the support services you need or want on your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey, especially if funds are tight right now!

    She works intimately with pregnant women who plan to have vaginal births after c-section/ homebirth by working through fear and mindset challenges, while providing emotional support so that they feel heard, seen & validated while taking the steps to birth their baby their way.

    Ashley is a VBAC Homebirth Mentor & Guide, Podcaster, and Speaker. Ashley birthed her third baby at home unassisted after two surgical births.

  • In the first episode of The VBAC Junkie Podcast, I chatted with my good friend and fellow VBAC mom Hannah Gill who is a wife, mother of two, doula and birth educator, and owner of Ebb and Flow Birth Co.

    She has a passion for VBAC and helping families and doulas navigate VBAC with confidence. Hannah believes women deserve to be respected and supported in their pregnancy, birth, and parenting choices

    Join me on this powerful road where I open up about my personal cesarean experiences and my VBA3C journey, sharing the highs, lows, and everything in between.

    In each episode, incredible moms who've experienced a VBAC will sit down with me to share their unique stories. We'll laugh, cry, and celebrate the strength within each birth journey.

    BUT this podcast isn't just for those who've had a cesarean – it's a space for everyone. Whether you're a VBAC hopeful, a first-time mom, or someone just curious about your birth options, I'm here to inspire, educate, and uplift you!

    Expect candid conversations, expert insights, and practical tips from professionals who champion VBAC. Because, let's be honest, whether you've had a c-section or not, we can all benefit from a little more knowledge and a lot more support.

    So, grab a cup of tea or coffee, get cozy, and let's dive into the world of VBAC together. This is the VBAC Junkie Podcast!
