30-40% of birthing women report experiencing a traumatic birth. In America, the conventional approach to childbirth prioritizes management over genuine care. This results in a shocking number of negative birthing experiences.
This episode of Startup Parent features award-winning journalist Allison Yarrow, author of “Birth Control: The Insidious Power of Men Over Motherhood.” She discusses with host Sarah K. Peck how our medical system fails birthing individuals and proposes ways to mend it. Their conversation focuses on:
The over-medicalization of childbirth and unnecessary interventions
The detrimental impact of America’s managed care model on birthing outcomes
Strategies for transforming childbirth into a positive, empowering experience
Having endured a traumatic birthing experience, I found the dialogue triggering yet validating. It’s an episode that acknowledges the diversity of birth experiences and calls for a profound shift in how motherhood should begin - grounded in empowerment, knowledge, and autonomy.

My book, "Be Seen," launched on October 31st, and it's helping me navigate imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and comparisonitis during this very launch. Embrace fear and become courageously visible, just as I'm doing in the Be Seen book! 👀📚

Here’s why you stay stuck. It’s a lot easier to come up with the reasons why we can’t do something than it is to muster up the time/energy/brain power to try.

"Yarrow argues that women generally expect and accept too little when they deliver in hospitals; that they have been trained to forgo a sense of agency at a moment in their lives when their bodies are at their mightiest."

Instead of thinking about having kids as a career-exploding move, what if we looked at having kids as a career building move?
Motherhood & fatherhood give you incredible skills and capacity.
Of course they make you bonkers tired. You get less done.
But you ALSO improve.

Why do we act like parenting (and pregnancy) is this weird, unusual thing that business has to somehow accommodate? People have been making babies since forever. We're going to keep making babies. Let's figure this out.
