In this episode, Andrea Friedman, the Founder of She Might, shares her personal journey from a difficult first birth to a second experience filled with confidence, support, and trust in her birth team. With the Maternal Mental Health Alliance reporting that 1 in 3 women feel traumatized by their birth, her story is a reminder that these feelings are both common and valid. Andrea opens up about the steps she took to rebuild trust and create a genuine connection with her care team, offering encouragement and insight to help you feel more supported and at ease as you prepare for your own birth.
