The Journey to VBAC – Détails, épisodes et analyse

This conversation with Misty Rauscher was 🔥

She is a Trauma Recovery Coach and Transformational Life Coach. Misty specializes in mindset, visualization, and helping people navigate the mental “what ifs” that often come up after difficult or traumatic birth experiences.

In this episode, we explore how Misty helps people “clear the slate” from previous births and create a powerful, grounded vision for their next experience — in both pregnancy and postpartum.

Whether you’re preparing for a VBAC or simply wanting to feel more at peace with your story, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, empowered, and inspired to claim your healing.

Highlights from this episode:
🔥 How trauma from previous births shows up mentally and emotionally in future pregnancies
🔥 Why mindset and visualization are essential tools for preparing for birth
🔥 Misty’s process for helping birthing people rewrite their inner narrative and build confidence
🔥 The power of making space for grief, truth, and possibility — all at once

If you’re holding onto fear, doubt, or trauma from a previous birth, this episode will offer you hope and real tools for transformation.

Get ready to hear Lizzy's transformative freebirth story! If you are not familiar with a freebirth, it is when you give birth typically at your own home without an OB or Midwife. It could be just you and your partner or you and your partner or doula or whoever else you choose to be there.

Some highlights from the episode:

🔥 How to build community when nobody around you supports you

🔥 Self-healing and taking radical responsibility for your birth is more important than it's made out to seem

🔥 How to get clear on your boundaries

Lizzy had planned a homebirth after her cesarean but plans quickly changed and she was left with more trauma than she arrived with.

Understanding the hierarchal birth culture so you can give birth confidently is so key!

Some highlights from the episode:

🔥 The cascade of interventions is real and can happen to anyone but there are ways to avoid them

🔥 You have more options than you may realize

🔥 If something doesn't feel right or you feel led to something different than what your OB or Midwife are suggesting then it may be a good time to ask questions
