About this listen

This one’s all about pregnancy, birth, and parenting through a nervous system lens, especially if you’ve noticed old symptoms resurfacing or wondered why this season feels more activating than expected.

In this episode, Britt Piper answers listener questions with honesty and reassurance, explaining how pregnancy heightens interoception, brings early attachment layers online, and reduces the protective filters that once kept certain patterns quiet, without meaning you’re regressing or doing healing wrong. She shares her personal unmedicated birth experiences, reflecting on how safety, fear, dissociation, and nervous system support shaped two very different labors, and why physiological birth is deeply relational rather than mechanical.

Britt also explores co-regulation, co-sleeping, and parenting while working with your own triggers, reminding us that children don’t need perfect regulation, they need presence and repair. If you’re pregnant, parenting, or healing alongside either, this conversation offers steady reassurance that your body is wise, your responses make sense, and you are capable of meeting this season with softness, trust, and care.
