Birth is Nothing Like They Told You … and Neither is Anything Else with Ellen Fisher

In this episode of The Mind Change Podcast, Heather McKean interviews her best friend and mentor, Ellen Fisher, a key figure in the field of wellness, health, and livelihood. The conversation focuses on Ellen's transformative journey through childbirth and the profound impact of mind change work on her birthing experiences.

Ellen shares her story, emphasizing her initial skepticism about achieving a pain-free birth after two previous painful home births. Guided by Heather's mind change sessions, Ellen rewired neural pathways and envisioned the births she desired. The result was not only a controlled, intense, and empowering first birth but also subsequent empowering experiences with her fourth and fifth births.

The discussion explores societal perceptions of childbirth, contrasting painful and empowering birth narratives, and highlighting the crucial role of choice and education in the birthing process. Ellen emphasizes her realization that intense sensations and pain are distinct, with mind change contributing to a transformation from agony to power during childbirth.

Motivated by her journey, Ellen is dedicated to supporting other women in their birthing experiences. She has developed a birth course aimed at empowering women with tools and knowledge for an informed and empowered birthing process.

The podcast concludes with insights into the significance of empowering birth stories in shaping perceptions and inspiring women to reclaim their power during childbirth. Heather and Ellen encourage women to challenge cultural influences, past trauma, and victimization to create their own positive birth experiences.
