Episode description

Tune in for a RADICALLY HONEST conversation between Diana & Lynnea on the transparency (or lack of) around the cultural expectations of these roles. Women serving women in birth is not a new concept, and it's crucial for the preservation of birth and the well-being of women and babies to acknowledge the appropriation of traditional wise-woman practices into the modern day "band-aid" we market to women today. Hiring a doula or midwife alone is not enough to save you from the system, or the trauma that comes with it. Here we explore why and how you can use this information to protect your birth space, what finally, what is a “true” sense of security?
