Choosing One Word or Intention for Your Birth Experience
What if one simple word could completely change how you experience pregnancy… and birth?
In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most underrated (and most powerful) birth preparation tools there is: choosing a word or intention for your birth. There is so much power from what is happening inside our minds and bodies during pregnancy and birth.
Whether you’re early in pregnancy or counting down the weeks, this episode will help you slow down, help you get intentional, and create a mindset that supports your version of a calm, confident, empowered birth.
Here’s What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
2:43 – Can one word actually change your birth experience?
What if one of the most effective ways to prepare for labor isn’t another checklist — but choosing one word? I share how my husband and I set intentions every year, and how this practice translates beautifully into birth preparation.
5:00 – The overlooked step most moms skip when preparing for birth
Why you need to intentionally carve out time to reflect, visualize, and dream — and how this process works just as powerfully for birth as it does for life. If there were no limits or fears… what would you want your birth to feel like?
10:58 – Why writing it down changes everything (even if birth doesn’t go as planned)
The science and psychology behind putting your intentions on paper — and why saying it out loud makes it real. I also share my personal daily ritual that keeps me grounded, grateful, and future-focused during pregnancy and beyond.
16:46 – Simple goal categories that support a strong pregnancy & smoother birth
How to break intentions into realistic, supportive habits — from nourishment to movement to daily rhythms — without overwhelm or feeling like you need to be perfect at it.
19:00 – The power of saying yes (and why it requires saying no)
Every “yes” costs something. We unpack how identifying your overarching theme helps you filter decisions, protect your energy, and uncover the word that truly aligns with your birth vision.
25:00 – Birth is a mindset game (and this is how to train for it)
Real-life examples of birth words, how to use them during pregnancy and labor, and why small, simple mental shifts often lead to the biggest transformations in birth.
Birth shouldn't just happen to you — your thoughts, expectations, and intentions shape how you experience it. This episode will help you step into birth feeling focused, empowered, and emotionally prepared — no matter how your pregnancy and birth unfolds.
