EP144 | Musing on Birth: The Future of Birthing in an Unnatural World
In this episode, I take you through a journey that intertwines the practical and the visionary: my latest creations on Etsy and some thought-provoking reflections on the future of birth as we navigate an increasingly artificial world.
Episode Highlights:
- Etsy Creations and Birth Advocacy
- An update on the latest designs in my Etsy store, from baby shower essentials to birth affirmations and tools for doulas and mothers.
- How these creations connect with my mission of supporting natural, empowering birth experiences.
- The intention behind each item, designed not just as digital products but as pieces that encourage connection, intention, and mindfulness for the journey of motherhood.
2. The Future of Birth in a Highly Artificial World
- Thoughts on the direction of human birth: how an increasingly artificial, medicalized world may shape our experiences of pregnancy and birth.
- The growing disconnect many women feel within standard care models, leading them to seek VBACs, homebirths, and alternative approaches that align more with their vision for birth.
- Why it’s crucial to keep conversations around birth options alive, especially as technology and medical practices evolve.
3. Rehearsing for the Homebirth Conference: VBAC Homebirth - The Forgotten Woman
- A glimpse into my rehearsal for my upcoming homebirth conference talk, VBAC Homebirth: The Forgotten Woman.
- Insights into how the talk was received by a group of older listeners, many of whom aren’t necessarily invested in birth topics.
- The unexpected, meaningful responses from this group and how it underscored the universal relevance of birth choices, rights, and support systems.
This episode is an invitation to reflect not only on the future of birth but on how we can all contribute to creating a more supportive environment for women’s choices.
Whether through our personal stories, creative endeavors, or advocacy work, we all play a part in shaping the birth experiences of tomorrow.
