the birth story no one talks about.

Spoiler: my birth didn’t go the “traditional” route — and that was the plan.

In this episode, I’m sharing the story of my birth story- what led me to make that decision, how it felt, and what it taught me about trusting my body in a world full of opinions. No drama, no guilt — just intuition, a little anesthesia, and a whole lot of clarity.

Whether you pushed, were induced, had a home birth, a hospital birth, a surprise c-section, or anything in between — this episode is for every mom who made the best call she could with the body, brain, and baby she had.

Because birth isn’t about proving anything. It’s about owning your power — even when no one’s clapping.


Because I Love You is the podcast where tough love meets tender truths. Hosted by Bria Jones, this is your safe space to unpack the messy, moody, and magical parts of being human — from personal glow-ups and identity crises to spiritual awakenings and petty realizations. Nothing is off limits… because Bria loves you enough to keep it real.

🎧 New episodes drop every Monday — so come for the raw conversations, stay for the self-reflection.
