255. O.W.N. Your Birth: A Simple Framework to Claim Your Experience

Host Sarah Marie Bilger introduces the O.W.N. framework — Optimism & Ownership, Worthiness & Well-being, Nourish & Nurturing — to help mothers claim agency over their birth and life. Through practical steps like naming your goal, defining ownership, making a micro-commitment, asking for support, and designing your environment, listeners learn how to create the spark, fuel, and conditions for a supported experience. The episode includes three immediate sparks (a 10-minute check-in, a concrete ask, and a tiny ritual) and a guided journaling exercise with reflective prompts to help you take action.

Question 1:
What aspect of your life or birth do I want to O.W.N. right now?

Question 2:
What small, specific step can I take this week to move toward that ownership?

Question 3:
Who can I ask for support, and what will I ask them for?
