EPISODE 24: Naming Obstetric Violence and Telling the Truth — with Cristen Pascucci
In this episode, I sat down with my longtime friend Cristen Pascucci, founder of Birth Monopoly, to have a real and honest conversation about obstetric violence and what’s actually happening in maternity care. This isn’t always an easy topic, but it’s one we can’t ignore if we want things to change.
We talked about:
What obstetric violence really is and why naming it matters
Cristen’s personal birth experience and how it led her into advocacy
The stories of families who felt dismissed, coerced, or violated in their care
Why there’s resistance—even within the birth community—to talking about these issues
The importance of truth-telling instead of minimizing or gaslighting
How systems and past experiences shape the way people are treated in birth
Cristen’s film Mother May I and the heart behind creating it
This episode is about being willing to see what’s real, even when it’s uncomfortable. Because resilience isn’t about ignoring harm—it’s about naming it, learning from it, and expecting better moving forward.
