Sevgi's story - Self trust is a super power

Sevgi is a Turkish mum who welcomed her first baby, Atlas, into the world last summer. As a pharmacist and an international marketing manager in pharma, you might expect Sevgi to view birth through a purely medical lens. But Sevgi’s true superpower is her intuition.  In this conversation, we listen to how she stepped out of Turkey’s highly medicalised mindset, questioning the absolute authority of the doctor, and how she beautifully navigated the rigid, risk-driven procedures of the UK maternity system.  She made a conscious choice to tune out the medicalised fear and lean into the natural rhythm of her body. The result was a profoundly beautiful, empowering, and positive birth experience. In this episode, Sevgi joins us to talk about the shift from learned fear to biological trust, and how every mother can find the confidence to become the true anchor of her own birth story. Sevgi is here to remind us of something crucial: a positive birth story is not a matter of luck; it is a matter of self-trust. It is a stunning example of what happens when we marry our intellect with our deepest maternal instincts, showing every mother how to move away from institutional fear and become the true, confident anchor of her own story. Thank you so much for sharing your story Sevgi. And as always thanks for listening. Natalie and Jenna [email protected] www.nataliemeddings.com @jenna_andjude
