Planning a natural birth can feel isolating...especially when you’re the only one in your circle choosing to go unmedicated.

Galatians 1:10 "Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ."

In this episode, I’m speaking directly to the mom who feels misunderstood, questioned, or quietly discouraged by friends, family, or coworkers who don’t share her birth goals. If you’re tired of justifying your choices or wondering if you’re being unrealistic, this conversation is for you.

We cover four key reminders to help you stay grounded and confident:

• Why you don’t need everyone’s approval
• Where true confidence actually comes from
• When and how to limit what you share with others
• How to find support even if no one close to you “gets it”

This episode will help you protect your peace, strengthen your conviction, and remember that you are not alone...and you are not wrong for wanting a natural birth.
