In this episode, I dive into a question so many women carry when planning a VBAC: what if my VBAC fails?
We unpack the fear behind “VBAC failure” and gently reframe what that really means. I share my own experiences, the emotional weight many women carry after birth trauma, and why your outcome does not define your worth or success.
We talk about:
Why “VBAC failure” isn’t actually a failure
The role of mindset, support, and environment in birth
Why homebirth isn’t a guarantee—but can change the experience
Letting go of guilt, blame, and unrealistic expectations
This episode is here to remind you: if you show up, prepare, and make the best decisions you can in the moment—you have not failed.
You get to define what success looks like in your birth.
