Today we interview Ashley Winning, the founder of The Motherhood Circle & host of The VBAC Homebirth Stories Podcast. Throughout this episode, we talk to Ashley about the challenges of being larger bodied within the birthing system and the discrimination she faced as a result of a label. We chat extensively about the concept of BMI and how the labels are generally more harmful than anything and how Ashley has turned her experience into a way to support other women navigate the birth system.

Ashley shares her 3 birth stories in episode 10.
