23. Reclaiming Birth: Choice, Trauma, and Being Informed

In this deeply personal and eye-opening episode of Both Can Be True, I open a conversation about the realities of birth—what we’re told, what often gets left out, and the impact that lack of information has on birthing people and their families. From the unspoken traumas many women carry to the myth that hospitals are our only option, I share my own journey of choosing homebirths with all of my children, and why reclaiming choice matters so deeply. This is a conversation meant to be shared—one that expands awareness, challenges assumptions, and reminds us that birth and postpartum can look many different ways.
