Have you ever felt like staying quiet was the easiest path? That if you just "went with the flow," things would work out?


I totally get it—I used to think the same way. But what I’ve learned is this: doing nothing is still making a decision. And when it comes to birth, passive choices often default to the system’s preferences—not yours.

In this episode, we dive into:
✅ Why "going with the flow" isn’t always the best option.
✅ How silence can lead to interventions you didn’t plan for.
✅ Simple ways to take an active role in your birth experience.

💡 Your silence can shape your birth story just as much as your voice can.
