[POWER REPLAY] A Healthy Baby Isn’t the Only Thing That Matters

This week’s episode is a Power Replay of one of the most important messages you need to hear.. We often hear the phrase, “just be happy to have a healthy baby.” But that mindset overlooks something deeply important - your birth experience matters too . In this short but powerful episode, I share why it's not only okay to have birth wishes beyond physical health, it's necessary. Birth is a rare and transformational event. Of course you want a healthy baby. But you also deserve to be listened to, respected, and treated with compassion throughout the process. Your emotional well-being and how you’re treated during labor and delivery are just as vital as your physical health. Let this episode be a reminder: the bare minimum is physical health. You deserve so much more . 👩🏾‍⚕️ Ready to stay informed and empowered?
