Episode 166 - The Ten Commandments of Birth: Why Inner Work Matters More Than Technique

The Ultimate Birth Partner Podcast · 18 января 2026 г. · 32 мин

So much of birth preparation focuses on what to do — how to breathe, how to move, how to plan. But none of that works if a woman doesn’t trust herself. In this episode, I’m sharing my Ten Commandments of Birth and explaining why I believe inner work is the missing piece in so much birth preparation. I talk honestly about what I’ve seen shift in women since creating Discover Your North Star , and why no breathing technique can undo years of self-doubt. This episode is about preparation that goes deeper than checklists and protocols — preparation that changes how a woman meets her birth, whatever path it takes. ✨ The Ten Commandments of Birth (PDF) - Download here I’ve created this as a reflective, practical guide to support the inner work I talk about in this episode. It also includes a version for your birth partner.    ✨ Discover Your North Star - Online Course If this episode resonates, this is where we go deeper. The course is designed to help you build trust in yourself, prepare emotionally and mentally, and arrive at birth feeling grounded and aligned.
