    Birth Trauma, Informed Consent, and the Flaws of Managed Care — (Allison Yarrow)

    #225 — Birth is broken in America. It’s rooted in patriarchy, white supremacy, and a managed care system that pushes profits over people. This medical model provides substandard care that persists because it’s always been done that way—not because it’s rooted in evidence. In fact, plenty of evidence suggests that the managed care model causes widespread problems that affects every aspect of our society today. Under this medical model, birth has become accepted as trauma, with as much as 30-40% of people who give birth reporting mistreatment or negative experiences. If we want to improve the outcomes of birthing people and families, we must unpack how and why our current system is failing us. Allison Yarrow, award-winning journalist, speaker, and author, wants to change that narrative with the help of her latest book, “Birth Control: The Insidious Power of Men Over Motherhood.” There is so much power in a group of people who have been touched by birth. Humanity would not exist without the process of birth, when our bodies are at their strongest. Allison’s goal is to open up conversations between people who have given birth, inviting us to share our stories and feel validated in them—no matter what they are. Allison joined host Sarah K Peck on this episode of the Startup Parent Podcast to talk about why birthing is broken under our current healthcare system, and what we can do better in the future. They discuss: The cascade of interventions and medicalization of birth. The relationship between trauma and birth. The importance of informed consent in care. How a managed model of care leads to worse outcomes. What we can do to change the birth experience in the future. The episode is an invitation to unpack the intricacies of birth experiences and the existing systems that influence them so that we can rewrite the narratives around motherhood. Instead of trauma and disempowerment, we can embrace the power and vulnerability of the birth and transform it into an empowered, informed, and agency-driven experience.

    How To Escape “Good Girl” Brainwashing — (Lisa Carmen Wang)

    #223 — If you struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, or you prioritize everyone else before yourself, chances are you’ve been subjected to “Good Girl Brainwashing.” Lisa Carmen Wang, founder of the Bad Bitch Empire, joins Sarah K Peck to talk about good girl brainwashing, learning to speak up, and challenging societal norms that limit women's power. In this episode, Lisa shares how to identify the messages that keep women quiet and small, what to do about them, and how to become—in her words—“A Bad Bitch.” If you want to become a leader and you want to create an impact in this world, then listen to this episode—because your “good girl” training is doing you a disservice. Lisa discusses the harmful effects of perpetuating a system driven by fear and scarcity, and she advocates for a new world order where powerful women lead unapologetically, collaborate, and break free from the competitive zero-sum game that keeps us small. If you want to step into your leadership and your power, then divesting from the good girl messages is imperative. In this episode, Sarah and Lisa talk about: What “good girl brainwashing” is and how to combat it. Identifying your values, knowing your “anti-values,” and how they influence your boundaries. What Lisa learned from exploring her passion, anger, and healing with plant medicine. How technology has given women the freedom to think differently about parenting timelines. The power of ceremony, celebrating yourself as a woman, and Lisa’s egg-freezing shower. Discover how Lisa is empowering—and financing—women to help them unleash their full potential in a system that thrives on their fear and insecurity. Lisa shares her journey from being a good girl to becoming a bad bitch, and why she created the Bad Bitch Empire to help other women reclaim their power. You’ll hear about Lisa’s journey from world-class gymnast to Ivy League graduate, her experience leaving Wall Street to become an entrepreneur, and why she isn’t sure about becoming a parent.
