Today is the last Tuesday of the year. A lot of people have resolutions on their mind, but y'all know that resolutions don't tend to stick, right? The only changes that will, the only changes that will stick will be the ones that you truly commit to. So my question to you is. Will 2024 be the year when you stop just listening to this podcast and actually commit to making hard changes for the sake of you and your baby?
Will this be the year you'll do less talking and more walking, less talk more action. I sure hope so. I wanna help you get there. So let's head into the new year together in this episode and work on a mindset shift.
I'm so blessed that I've been able to talk with you Mamas for an entire year. This is the last episode of 2023. I started on January 2nd, 2023 as I ended last week's podcast telling you that was my Ruby, my middle baby's birthday. That was the day that I launched and so it will always be, her birthday is also the podcast birthday, and it is so fulfilling to know that many of you have had births that were very different than they would have been had we not crossed paths.
And I thank God for using me to help you, but some of you are listening to me now and are either new. Or maybe you're not new, but you're just still not convinced. I'm actually talking to you. Hey, you. I'm talking to you. Yeah. You don't look behind you. It's not the person next to you. It's not the person in front of you, it is you. And I'm talking to them too, but I'm talking to you right now.
But things I share here can be applied on some level to every single woman who is pregnant, even if you're one of the small, small, small percentage who have a true reason. Her medical interventions, I'm even talking to you. But here's the thing, I can't do this for you.
That goes for here too. I can't do it for you. I can't labor for you. I can't make the choices for you. I can't, I can't make you believe me. You see, I've already had my babies and as much as I would love to have more, I just turned 42. And it's looking more and more like that phase has done.
And I'm so thankful to God that I learned the things that I'm teaching you now before I had my babies, because I learned them, I internalized them, and I made some radical changes, and as a result of me heeding and not just hearing, I have zero regrets. Zero health issues that have arisen from my births as a result of heeding and not hearing.
It's a cautionary tale to many of you, and I probably need to do a whole episode on that. Just to help you understand some of the junk that I went through just to save a few bucks. Because of the mentality of the people who I asked to do those initial prenatal labs, I could have avoided a whole lot of stress if I had just gotten over the expense.
Made a way to just go ahead and do it with my midwife, but I digress. We'll deal with that a different day.
So why am I saying all this? I'm saying it to tell you I don't need this. The information I'm sharing with you, sadly I don't need it anymore. I'm not most likely having any more babies haven't had menopause yet, so I guess it's still possible. It's up to God, but I don't plan to have any more babies.
This information that I'm sharing with you is for you. I put my money where my mouth is, and I have proven that it can be done from thinking that medical was the only way to go.
I've shown you that it can be done, but sometimes you might have to make some hard choices. Y'all. I'm doing this podcast to help you realize where you're headed if you don't make some changes, and to motivate you to actually change course. The difference between successful people who rise and do better, and people who maintain the status quo. It's their attitude.
Do they look at life as something that's going to happen to them Regardless, they have no power over it. Or are they going to see the better way and make it happen?
Are you scared? That's okay. Do it scared, but do something. Change your provider. If you need to change your birth location, if you need to. Say no to the medical interventions and the unneeded tests. Say no to being induced. Say yes to God. Say yes to trusting him in his way.
He made you for this. Just like everything else that we can know about God for what we read in the Bible and for what we see evidenced around us in the nature that he created. You can choose to believe it or you can choose to believe the world.
Here's what I need you to understand. This community is different. The mamas in this community are different from the world. We are can-do mamas who believe God. We are can-do mamas who have chosen to forsake the world in favor of the infinite perfect knowledge and wisdom of God, and our community is getting stronger and it's growing day by day.
We want you in it, but we need you to stand up, put your big girl panties on and buy in. Be sold out for God and for the fact that you know, he made you for this. He made your baby and he made you and he did not bring you this far to leave you.
Stop just being a reader and start being a doer. This is your year. I know that because if you're pregnant, it is 100% the year that you're going to have your baby because you will not be pregnant.
Right now, maybe your only chance to make the changes. If you don't, and the system happens to you as it happens to most moms, these options may be taken away from you next pregnancy.
If you do, you may very well avoid the whole machine. So now what? Are you gonna do it? Are you gonna stand up even though the odds are against you in this medicalized maternity system?
You’ve got me and a whole community of mamas who have made and are making these changes together. If you haven't joined us, what are you waiting for? You do not have to walk this road alone.
Besides the community, which by the way, you can sign up for that down in the show notes, there’s also the course which walks you through everything you're gonna need to know
We have lots of mamas who have left testimonials about the changes that they were able to make and about what the course did for them. Again, I don't take the credit that is God working through me to get information to you.
You have no excuse if you wanna do this, mama. The resources are there. You have three different strong resources available to you. So what are you waiting for?
Go get signed up so that you can be fully prepared to do this God's way — to have your birth God's way. Go do that now and I'm gonna see you next week in 2024.
