Doing It At Home - The Home Birth Podcast

338: Tools to Prepare You for Birth and Conversations for Love and Empowerment with Brooke Cates


Listen Later

What narratives are you telling yourself and buying into when it comes to pregnancy, birth and postpartum?

We go through some of these in our conversation with Brooke Cates, CEO/founder of The Bloom Method, a pre and postnatal fitness method. Particularly the disempowering ones, and how we shift them into empowering ones.

Phrases like:

  1. Pregnancy is miserable
  2. Birth is scary
  3. Postpartum is depressing
  4. We discuss how we can approach a transformative event like birth and add tools to our toolboxes to feel as prepared as possible. As well as how to explore our options and choose the ones that resonate most with us, even in the midst of a challenging past year in terms of the birth climate. 

    Things we talk about in this episode: The Bloom Method, the transformation of birth, connecting to your body, movement and fitness, preparing for home birth, knowing your options
