5. Journey vs Destination

Healthy baby, healthy mom, at the end of the birth, this is what everyone wants, right? Well, yes, but the problem with this statement and this intention is that it implies the outcome is the only thing of true importance in birth. But there is so much more to birth than the outcome and to dismiss the experience of preparing for birth, the journey to birth, is to dismiss the transformation that you go through in pregnancy and birth and overlook the opportunity to explore who you will be in birth. So today, we are going for a deep dive into the journey to birth on this episode of the journey to birth podcast. 

In this episode you will learn:

• The most important thing to study in order to be prepared for your birth
• Why the journey to birth is as important as your birth itself
• The difference between controlling things vs being in control
