Trish also reflects on how she approached her first birth without the proper mindset, blindly following hospital policies, leading to unnecessary interventions. Her goal is to inspire empowerment by educating expectant mamas on the importance of mindset and self-advocacy during childbirth. It's time to transform our birth culture into one of power and informed choices.
