In this powerful episode of The Discerning Mother, Brigid Tebaldi is joined by author and speaker, Jennifer Lauck, as they discuss the importance of trusting your instincts during pregnancy, birth, and beyond. Jennifer shares the deeply personal journey of her own birth experiences and how the medical system failed to honor her intuition. From the overwhelming pressure of the hospital system to the struggles of advocating for yourself as a mother, this conversation will resonate with any woman navigating her own motherhood journey.
Jennifer and I discuss her book "Show Me the Way" and how her own story of birth and transformation occurred. Through honest storytelling, Jennifer and Brigid explore how faith, intuition, and even the struggle against societal expectations shape the experience of motherhood.
We chat about:
-
The challenges of trusting your body and instincts in a medical system that often overlooks the personal needs of mothers.
-
The struggles women face when advocating for their birth plans and fighting for informed consent in the hospital setting.
-
Practical advice for discerning the voice of the Holy Spirit and your own intuition when navigating the challenges of motherhood.
