Which birth positions actually support labor — and why?

In this episode, we talk through common birth positions, the benefits of upright movement, and what to consider when preparing for a natural birth.

Birth isn’t a test to pass. It’s a sacred experience to be present with. In this episode, Jess invites you to release the pressure of doing it “right” and return to your own inner authority. She explores how fear and attachment can pull us out of alignment, how to recognize what alignment actually feels like in your body, and how your nervous system and intuition can guide you back to trust. This is your reminder that you can’t get birth “wrong”...you can only deepen into your own truth.

Who do you turn to for advice during pregnancy, birth, and motherhood — and how do you know if their influence is truly supportive?

In this episode, I share what I’ve noticed over 13 years of making my own choices and supporting other women: that our state of being, our past experiences, and our core values shape who we allow to influence us. Together, we’ll explore the three main ways we receive influence — from directly asking for advice, from long-term relationships, and from following broader movements — and I’ll walk you through a simple litmus test to help you discern whether guidance is actually serving you.

You’ll learn how to notice:

• If someone can hold space for nuance (instead of being rigid or dogmatic)
• Where they’re really coming from — love and empowerment, or fear and trauma
• How advice lands in your body: expansive and supportive, or contracting and limiting

At the end of the day, there’s no single “right” way to give birth. There is only your way — and your inner wisdom will always guide you if you let it.
