You’ve seen them on Instagram—those pretty little quotes like “I trust my body” or “Each surge brings me closer to my baby.” But let’s be real… do affirmations actually work? Or are they just woo-woo fluff?
In this episode, we’re diving deep into the science and soul behind birth affirmations—and why they are so much more than feel-good quotes. You’ll learn how to rewire your brain, regulate your nervous system, and speak to your subconscious in a way that actually sticks. This is about training your mind before labor so your body knows exactly what to do during.
Inside this episode:
✨ The neuroscience behind affirmations and why your brain believes what you tell it
✨ How affirmations impact your labor hormones like oxytocin and endorphins
✨ What makes an affirmation actually effective (spoiler: generic quotes won’t cut it)
✨ Daily rituals to make affirmations second nature before birth day
✨ Real examples you can start using today—whether you’re planning a cesarean, VBAC, unmedicated birth, or homebirth
Mama, the words you speak over yourself matter. Your thoughts shape your experience. Let’s use that power on purpose. 💥
