Have you had a traumatic birth experience that left you feeling shocked, confused, and thinking, “What the hell just happened?” I see you. I’ve been there and it can be overwhelming.
If you’ve ever felt guilt surrounding your birth experience and have been trying to navigate the roller coaster of emotions, this episode is for you!
In this episode, we dive into the following:

  • My first birth experience and how I went from feeling prepared to feeling like I got slapped in the face by birth trauma.
  • How I used the trauma I experienced as motivation to become an active participant in my next birth instead of handing over my power to someone else.
  • The emotions you may be feeling as a result of your birth trauma.
  • …and so much more!

If you’ve been wondering, “Am I alone in this?”, I promise you’re not. Have a listen!
