Control vs. Surrender: Lexi's Birth Story
from Adjusting Perspectives Podcast Hosted by Dr. Kellie Dattilo / Dr. Lexi Aruck
In today’s episode, Lexi shares her full birth story—and it’s probably not what you’d expect. Like many moms, she went into labor with a clear vision of how everything would go. A plan. Preferences. A sense of control over the experience. But as birth unfolded, things took a different turn… and she ultimately found herself navigating nearly every intervention she had hoped to avoid. This episode is about so much more than just birth—it’s about expectations, identity, and what happens when life asks you to surrender control in a big way. We talk about: What Lexi’s original birth plan looked like The moments where things began to shift Processing the emotional side of unexpected interventions Letting go of control in real time How this experience reshaped her perspective—not just on birth, but on life The growth that can come from situations we didn’t choose This is an honest, vulnerable conversation that we know so many women will relate to—whether you’ve given birth, are preparing to, or have simply experienced life not going according to plan. If you’ve ever struggled with releasing control or trusting the process, this episode is for you 🤍 Follow us on social! @chirokell @draaruck @adjustingperspectivespodcast
