Transform Your Birth

Today' s episode starts with a powerful heartfelt poem I received of a birth that did not go to plan, from one of my mothers. It brought me to tears, and yet it was written with this undercurrent of absolute power and transformation. I wanted to bring it to you today, and thankfully the author is with us today, sharing her powerful story of when things don't go to plan. Her birth had all the ingredients of a traumatic birth and yet it wasn't traumatic, she calls it transformational. This conversation identifies important elements that help us to get through birth under all circumstances.  We even discuss the powerful and positive impact it has had on her life as a new parent.This is an episode you will not forget.

In this week’s episode I speak to Bianca about her journey through 4 births, the final one resulting in twins. Each experience brings her closer to trusting herself and her decision making. We discuss how women can lean into their intuitive nature and trusting the inner sense of what needs to happen, by moving beyond the noise of advice and other people’s opinions. Ultimately this is a story of deep transformation for the mother, which is a path we are all on when it comes to welcoming these children into the world.  Bianca shares such powerful wisdom as a result of her birthing journeys. Enjoy dear ones.   You can contact Bianca through instagram   https://www.instagram.com/birth.with.b?igsh=MWZoeGFzZGw1MzlhYw%3D%3D&utm_source=qr [https://www.instagram.com/birth.with.b?igsh=MWZoeGFzZGw1MzlhYw%3D%3D&utm_source=qr]

Today I am bringing to you a very important conversation about making decisions with our health providers, and exercising what is called informed consent. Many of us, when pregnant with our first child, have never even set foot in a hospital or needed to make decisions about tests, procedures, vaccinations and interventions. I believe the biggest mistake people make is handing over their decision making to the health professionals, without considering our own choices and what feels right for us. I loved Alexandra’s message, as it is free from giving opinions and more about collecting vital information from the makers of the products and accessible through our government agencies. Alexandra is the founder of Just the Inserts, a platform dedicated to empowering individuals with accessible, transparent information about medical choices. With a solid research background and a passion for informed consent, she guides people through the complexities of pharmaceutical products and decisions. Her commitment to clear, reliable information has earned her recognition as a trusted voice in the community, helping countless individuals make more informed, confident healthcare decisions. You can find out more about Alexandra and her organisation - ‘Just the Inserts’ in our show notes. Over time, we need to take on a more active role of advocate for our children, so why not start now through your pregnancy and as you prepare for birth.   You can find out more about Alexandra through the following links; Name: Alexandra Galaska   Website: www.justtheinserts.com [http://www.justtheinserts.com] Socials: Instagram: @Justtheinserts 244,000   @Justthealternatives 39,500 X: @Justtheinserts 2.8k An Australian Based organisation devoted to information regarding medical vaccinations. https://inform-me.org/ [https://inform-me.org/]   Links: Transform Parenting website [https://transformparenting.com.au/] Transform Your Birth Today [https://transformparenting.com.au/transform-your-birth-today/] Better Birth: Mini Gift [https://www.transformparentingvillage.com.au/better-birth] Free resource: Medical Necessity vs Choice [https://www.transformparentingvillage.com.au/medical-necessity-vs-choice]

I absolutely loved recording this episode, as we covered such important topics that are very easily overlooked when preparing for birth. We go into the preparation of the body, using other modalities like acupuncture and osteopathy, which she believes made a huge difference to having a more comfortable pregnancy and birthing her baby. Tiahna experiences a successful VBAC, with complete confidence in her ability to birth her baby. We discuss how she worked with her caregivers, not against them, when pushing back on medical policy. We also explored the importance of recovery after birth, which can be overlooked with the excitement of a new baby. Another great story full of much wisdom from our dear Tiahna.   Links: Transform Parenting website [https://transformparenting.com.au/] Transform Your Birth Today [https://transformparenting.com.au/transform-your-birth-today/] Better Birth: Mini Gift [https://www.transformparentingvillage.com.au/better-birth] Free resource: Medical Necessity vs Choice [https://www.transformparentingvillage.com.au/medical-necessity-vs-choice]

I am so excited to share Anja’s story this week. When she came into my class, she was full of fear of birth and parenting. We track  her process of transformation - from fear to an orgasmic birth. As women, we all need to know about orgasmic birth - it is secret women’s business, and opens our minds to new possibilities. Anja shares her experience of surrendering, the key shift that opens us all to a better birth experience regardless of the circumstances we find ourselves in. This is an essential conversation worth listening to, as we learn to walk our own individual path in birthing these babes and being ready to parent them.
