A “healthy baby” is just the bare minimum—but what about you? What about feeling safe, supported, and respected during birth? What about walking away from your experience feeling empowered and accomplished, not just relieved that it’s over?


In this episode, we’re breaking down the #1 key to a positive birth: The Hierarchy of Needs. Inspired by Maslow’s famous pyramid, we’ll walk through the fundamental needs every birthing person has—from basic physiological needs all the way up to the ultimate goal: feeling heard, respected, and empowered.


Because here’s the truth—when these needs are met, birth isn’t just something you “get through.” It’s something that transforms you. And that is what I help couples prepare for in my VBAC Coaching Program.


If you’re planning a VBAC or just want a birth that leaves you feeling strong, seen, and supported—this episode is for you. Let’s build a birth plan that prioritizes YOU, not just your baby.
