Birth has a way of shaping us — sometimes in ways we never expected.
For Britta Parker, her first birth experience was far from what she had envisioned. Giving birth during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic came with layers of isolation, uncertainty, and emotional challenges that left her feeling disempowered and overwhelmed.
But Britta’s story didn’t end there. Instead, it became the catalyst for something powerful: healing, growth, and a determination to reclaim her next birth experience.
In this week’s episode of the Bare Birth Podcast, Britta shares her beautiful journey from fear to empowerment. After her first birth, she knew she wanted her second birth to be different — not just in outcome, but in how she prepared herself physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Britta talks about the work she did to release the weight of her first experience, how she surrounded herself with birth education, supportive providers, and a community that encouraged her to trust her body again.
Her second birth, an unmedicated experience with her daughter Ella, became not just a birth story, but a story of redemption, trust, and personal transformation.
Throughout our conversation, Britta emphasizes the importance of self-advocacy and doing the inner work required to face birth with courage. She opens up about the challenges of postpartum recovery, the lessons motherhood continues to teach her, and how community support was essential in her healing process.
Britta also shares candidly about her mental preparation — learning how to calm fears, visualize her desired birth, and stay present through every stage of labor.
She reflects on the contrast between her two birth experiences and how both, in their own way, shaped her into the mother she is today. Her story highlights the power of informed choice, the strength found in vulnerability, and the beauty of surrounding yourself with people who support and empower you.
Britta’s journey is a reminder that birth doesn’t have to be something that just happens to us — it can be something we actively participate in, shape, and reclaim, even after difficulty. Healing is possible, and the transformation that follows can ripple through every aspect of motherhood.
Whether you’re preparing for your first birth, healing from a past experience, or simply seeking encouragement, this episode will leave you inspired to embrace birth — and motherhood — with strength, hope, and intention.
