Episode notes

Welcome to Positive Birth Corner! 🎉 I’m your host, MaryNissi, and I’m so glad you’re here.

In this episode, I open my heart and share the story that started it all — my first birth experience. From the confusion and loneliness of early pregnancy, to finding support through Rachel (a nurse who met me where I was), to making empowered choices about my birth team and hospital, this is the journey that shaped who I am today as a doula and advocate for positive birth.

You’ll hear about: ✨ The moment I realized birth could be empowering. ✨ How I went from feeling silenced to finding my voice. ✨ The planning, preparation, and mindset shifts that helped me trust my body. ✨ The power of supportive birth teams — and why protecting your space matters. ✨ How postpartum support (thanks Mom!) can be just as important as birth prep.

This isn’t just my story — it’s the beginning of a larger movement. At Positive Birth Corner, we’re changing the narrative around birth, one story at a time. If you’ve ever felt anxious, unheard, or overwhelmed about pregnancy and birth, this episode will give you hope, encouragement, and practical wisdom for your own journey.
