About this listen

Real-world decision-making when contractions are rolling. Leanne shares short frameworks and power questions that help you pause, get the facts, and choose the next best step - without losing momentum or calm.

Master the art of making clear, confident decisions even in the intensity of active labour with practical tools designed for use during contractions.

We discuss:

  • A quick "pause-and-ask" flow you can memorise in pregnancy
  • The key questions that reveal benefits, risks and alternatives (fast)
  • How to use preferences to guide choices with your team
  • Partner roles: advocating kindly while keeping the room calm
  • Time-buying strategies when you need to think
  • Making decisions between contractions
  • When to trust instinct vs seek information
  • Navigating pressure without losing your power
  • Simple consent vs informed choice
  • Preparing decision-making skills prenatally
