Description

When labor gets intense, even the best-prepared moms hit a moment where nothing seems to help anymore.
 The breathing feels off. The positions that once brought relief suddenly feel unbearable. The affirmations don’t land the same way.

So what do you do when your coping tools stop working?

In this episode, you’ll learn:
 ✨ Why your tools sometimes “stop working” mid-labor... and why that’s totally  normal
 ✨ How to pause, reset, and recenter when things shift
 ✨ Practical ways to find your next rhythm without panicking
 ✨ What your body might be trying to tell you when you feel like you’ve “lost control”
 ✨ How your partner or support person can help you re-ground instead of trying to fix it

You’ll walk away with calm, realistic strategies to use when labor changes... so you can stay centered, supported, and confident all the way through.
