252 - The Natural Birth Girl Scout Badge Myth and How to Make Informed and Congruent Decisions feat. Dr. Lacey Nevel
Us chiropractors have some hard and fast beliefs and opinions that while rooted in truth and good intentions can at times create unrealistic standards that we hold ourselves to and unnecessary mindset burdens when things don’t go exactly the “right” way. The topic and act of giving birth is one area where these mental gymnastics come into play more often than not. For today’s episode, Dr. Lauryn starts by coining the idea of the “girl scout badges of chiropractic,” before welcoming on Dr. Lacey Nevel to discuss one of the most noteworthy of those badges: having a natural home birth. Dr. Lacey shares her own birthing story, and the two discuss ideas around what is “right” or “necessary” and how to live congruent with your beliefs while being ok with any positive outcomes. Dr. Lacey Nevel is a true wellness visionary wearing multiple hats. She’s the co-owner of Free Spirit Chiropractic with her husband, Dr. Colton Nevel. Along with running the practice, Dr. Lacey is the founder of The Start Up Lab for Chiropractors, where she and her team do coaching and workshops for chiropractors in their early days of opening their practices. And finally she is also the founder of Free Spirit Social for Chiropractors, where she provides social media coaching and tools to other chiropractors. Overall, Dr. Lacey is on a mission to elevate consciousness and authenticity for others inside and outside the chiropractic community!The conversation kicks off with some podcasters talking podcasting chat, burnout in chiropractic, and how to build up associates, before diving into Dr. Lacey’s background in the birthing community and her entire personal birthing story, and then close out with discussion on postpartum grief, making congruent decisions, why needing a specific outcome can backfire, and a whole bunch more related to the mindset around birthing for female chiropractors.New chiropractor at the beginning of your journey?
