"The System" is pretty great, except when it isn't. Where do you have choices and options? How can you build your birth team to best support you? How do you respond to our larger "culture of dismissal," and how should you respond when you catch yourself dismissing the expereinces of those around you?

Join in this week as Katie & David discuss the "cultural conveyor belt" that is the standard pregnancy to parenthood journey and learn more about where you have the power to choose to do things differently.

Topics covered include:

- Dads and their expereince being ignored or dismissed is the "standard policy" of The System.

- Moms too!

- Owning your role and understanding your choices

- Intentional Birth Team building

- Your immediate culture of support is more important than The System

- Culture coming to us vs coming through us

- Invitations vs demands

- Asking and offering a Redo is best practice to build on!
