Summary
In this episode of The Mind Change Podcast, host Heather McKean welcomes former client Jolie Justice to share how rewiring subconscious patterns transformed her relationship with birth, her body, and motherhood. After two unplanned C-sections, Jolie explored the childhood experiences, ancestral stories, and beliefs that were shaping her birth experiences. Four years later, she reflects on how that work led to a successful VBAC, greater trust in her body, and lasting change that continues into her current pregnancy. Together, they discuss birth trauma, subconscious programming, memory, compassion, and how changing the stories we carry can create new possibilities for the future.
