    65. Jessica’s 2 HBACS and the importance of unconditional support
    Sep 11 2024

    Having a supportive team is more important than you may realize. When Jessica didn't have a supportive team she felt like she wasn't being heard or informed. But that all changed for her second and third birth.


    Some highlights from the episode:

    🔥 Trusting your gut instincts is not a gimmick or just a fun saying, it can lead you down the path you were meant for

    🔥 Even if you get told No, try again!

    🔥 How not processing your previous birth can affect your subsequent births

    🔥 The unspoken guilt that may arise after your VBAC


    Let me know how this episode has helped you once you're done listening 😊
