When it comes to deciding between a VBAC or a repeat cesarean, too many mamas are left with surface-level info and a whole lot of fear. And let’s be honest—that’s not good enough when it comes to one of the biggest decisions of your life.
In this episode, we’re cutting through the noise and diving deep into the evidence—so you can walk away feeling clear, confident, and fully informed.
👉 Not pressured.
👉 Not guilted.
👉 Not scared into a decision that doesn’t sit right with you.
We’re breaking down:
✔️ What the latest research actually says about the risks of VBAC vs. repeat cesareans (and why context matters)
✔️ How to understand “risk” in a way that empowers you, not paralyzes you
✔️ Why your provider’s vibe, language, and attitudes matter more than you might realize—and how to spot red flags early
✔️ How to advocate for yourself when your instincts say one thing and the hospital protocol says another
✔️ What it really looks like to make a decision that’s rooted in your truth, your body, and your baby—not anyone else’s agenda
If you’re navigating birth after a cesarean, this episode is your blueprint to making a decision with your head held high and your heart at peace.
🎧 Press play, because birth decisions deserve more than fear—they deserve fierce, evidence-based confidence.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
