  • 97-The Cascade of Interventions: How One Small Decision Can Change Your Entire Birth
    Feb 27 2026

    Most cesareans don’t begin with an emergency.

    They begin with a series of small, routine decisions that slowly shift the course of labor.

    This is called the cascade of interventions.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • What the cascade of interventions is
    • How induction, epidurals, and Pitocin can influence labor progression
    • Why many cesareans are the result of accumulated interventions—not failure
    • How to stay informed and in control of your birth experience

    This episode isn’t about avoiding intervention at all costs. It’s about understanding your options so you can make decisions with clarity and confidence.

    Because informed mothers make empowered decisions.

  • 96- Failure To Progress Isn't What You Think
    Feb 20 2026

    She was told her body failed.

    That she didn’t progress.
    That her labor stalled.
    That her cesarean was necessary because her body couldn’t do it.

    But what if the problem wasn’t her body?

    In this episode, we’re breaking down the truth behind the diagnosis “failure to progress”—what it really means, why it’s often misunderstood, and how birth actually unfolds physiologically.

    If you’ve ever been told your body couldn’t give birth—or you’re afraid it won’t—this episode will change the way you see birth and yourself.

  • 95- Why Do Women Even Want a VBAC?
    Feb 13 2026

    "Why would anyone even WANT a VBAC?"

    If you've ever been asked this question (or asked it yourself), this episode is for you.

    We're diving into the REAL reasons women pursue VBACs—and spoiler alert: it's about so much more than avoiding surgery. From healing birth trauma to reclaiming your power, from practical recovery to proving something to yourself... every reason is valid, and none of them need justification.

    It's time to flip the script on how we talk about VBAC. Let's go.
