<p>Have you ever felt like staying quiet was easier? That if you just “went with the flow,” everything would work out? </p><p>I used to believe that too. From my childhood to my first three births, I stayed small, trusting others over myself. </p><p><br /></p><p>But when I found my voice, everything changed—especially in my VBA3C journey.</p><p><br /></p><p>In this episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal speech I gave in person about my journey from silence to self-advocacy. </p><p>‼️ Fair warning—the audio isn’t the best! The event was outside, in the middle of a storm, with people moving around everywhere. But I feel the message is powerful, and if you’d rather watch it, you can check it out on YouTube. ⬇️</p><p><br /></p><p>✨ Want to feel more confident on your VBAC journey and have the support you've been looking for? </p><p>Check out my VBAC community:<a href="https://birthingcometrue.com/vbac-membership" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> The Journey to VBAC Membership</a></p><p><br /></p><p>🎥 <strong>Watch the speech on YouTube here:</strong> <a href="https://youtu.be/hla1nLq8lHU?si=Uvv6Qf5KzWdKbLpg" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Click Here</a></p><p><br /></p><p>💬 Let’s connect!<br />Instagram: <a href="https://chatgpt.com/c/67be0fb4-2c1c-8002-93cf-9681399c8d7b#" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@birthing_come_true</a><br />Facebook: <a href="https://chatgpt.com/c/67be0fb4-2c1c-8002-93cf-9681399c8d7b#" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Birthing Come True </a><br /></p><p><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChnCrDC_z9ufBRJQp311yRg" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><br /></a>Website: <a href="https://chatgpt.com/c/67be0fb4-2c1c-8002-93cf-9681399c8d7b#" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Birthingcometrue.com</a></p><p><br /></p><p>More in-person speeches are coming soon—I can’t wait to share more of my journey with you!</p>
