In this episode of Hot + Brave, Bianca Sprague breaks down why the birth world’s obsession with “natural vs. medicated” is a distraction, and how the real issue isn’t the epidural itself, but the lack of choice, support, and honest information surrounding it.

We’re talking about in this episode:

  • The myth of the “better” birth
  • What epidurals really do (and what they don’t)
  • What’s not being disclosed during hospital births
  • The cascade of interventions and loss of autonomy
  • Why doulas are essential in protecting consent and power in birth

Whether you support folks in birth, you chose an epidural, you didn’t want one, you changed your mind, or are still unsure, this episode is your reminder that birth is not a test and you didn’t fail.... You deserve full information, real options, and care that centers you.

Want to become a doula?

Bianca shares how our Maternal Support Practitioner (MSP) training is not only a full-spectrum doula certification...it’s a movement for birth justice. Whether you're brand new or looking to grow your skills, this is the doula training that meets you where you are.
