I’m a newer listener so I can’t speak for the earlier episodes and I’m super into this podcast. I’m a doula of 16 years and founder of bebo mia - so I eat, sleep and breathe birthwork… and I love how Sara explains things, makes no assumptions, uses inclusive language and have wonderful points. Highly recommend.
Sara made this topic easy to understand. Looking forward to hearing more about birth and words!
Absolutely love this podcast, so helpful for me personally as both a doula, and expecting mother.
I fell in love with this podcast immediately!!! I can relate SO much to how language affects the birth space. I didn’t think much about it until I listened to this podcast and now I feel much more confident and informative going into pregnancy/birth #2.
I’ve loved listening to this podcast! It’s extremely empowering and uplifting, and gives practical tools to help with the birth experience and beyond.
