S5 E04 - The Myth of the “Perfect” Birth: Why We Need to Change the Narrative

  • Summary

  • In this powerful episode of Hot + Brave, Bianca Sprague unpacks the damaging myth of the “perfect” birth...and why it’s time to let it go.

    From unmedicated water births to curated Instagram stories, the fantasy of a flawless birth experience is leaving too many people feeling like they failed. Bianca breaks down where this narrative came from, who it leaves out, and how it fuels shame, birth trauma, and unrealistic expectations.

    She also shares how most birthing people think their doctor or nurse will help them have the birth they want, only to be swept into a cascade of interventions. Annnnd, why doulas are often the key to reclaiming autonomy and power in the birth room.

    If you’re ready to challenge what you’ve been told about birth, and help change the system from the inside, this episode is for you.

    Bianca shares how our Maternal Support Practitioner (MSP) training is not only a full-spectrum doula certification...it’s a movement for birth justice. Whether you're brand new or looking to grow your skills, this is the doula training that meets you where you are.
